Corporate costs are lower than last year as a result of cost savings programs. The pension cost in Other are less positive due to a lower correction for interest cost (higher expected return on plan assets). The positive result from our captive insurance companies was lower than the previous year, mainly due to a business interruption claim. Other costs were higher than 2009, due to higher share-based compensation and some company projects.
