(29) Trade accounts payable

Trade accounts payable include €31 thousand (prior year: €30 thousand) in payables to affiliated companies and €2,278 thousand (prior year: €2,609 thousand) in payables to companies accounted for using the equity method.

Obligations for outstanding invoices recognized as other current provisions in the past are now recognized as trade accounts payable in accordance with IAS 37. For reasons of comparability, €30,846 thousand in prior-year amounts were reclassified from other current provisions to trade accounts payable.

All trade accounts payable are accounted for at their repayment amounts and are due within one year.
