8.2 Remuneration and shareholdings of the management boards of the parent company
With regard to this information please see in general the remuneration report included as part of our Corporate Governance report.
The remuneration report is based on the recommendation of the German Corporate Governance Code and contains information which also forms part of the notes to the 2008 consolidated financial statement as required by IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures". In addition, we took into account the more specific provisions of DRS 17 "Reporting on the Remuneration of Members of Governing Bodies". Under German commercial law, too, this information includes data specified as mandatory for the notes (§ 314 HGB) and the management report (§ 315 HGB). These details are discussed as a whole in the remuneration report. Consequently, we have not provided any further explanation in the notes or management report.
