    • Long-term fixed-interest debt securities issued by the Group: This risk is hedged using interest rate derivatives (fixed-variable swaps).

The above cash flows will have an impact on the consolidated income statements until 2050.

In 2013 and 2012, there was no reclassification in the accompanying consolidated income statements of any amount corresponding to cash flow hedges that was previously recognized as equity. The amounts recognized previously in equity from cash flow hedges that were reclassified and included in the consolidated income statement, either under the heading “Gains or losses of financial assets and liabilities (net)" or under the heading “Exchange differences (net)” totaled €29 million in 2011.

The amount for derivatives designated as accounting hedges that did not pass the effectiveness test during 2013 was not material.
