Change in unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months  It is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits may change during the next 12 months. However, we do not expect changes during the next 12 months to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.  
Open tax years by major tax jurisdiction  Generally, years beginning after 2004 are still open to examination by foreign taxing authorities, and in Germany, we are open to examination from 2006 onward. In the United States, we are open to examination for 2011.
