Confirmed losses

At 31 December 2011, the Group’s unused confirmed losses were €158.8 million, for which deferred tax assets have not been recognised, because the realisation of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is not probable.

Confirmed losses for which tax assets have not been recognised expire as follows

€ million 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017- Total
  2.3 0.0 0.0 0.5 7.2 148.8 158.8

Deferred income tax liabilities have not been recognised for taxes that would be payable on subsidiaries’ unremitted earnings, because the subsidiaries’ distributions are at the discretion of the Group and a distribution of profits with tax effect is not probable in the near future.
