Other non-current liabilities

Non-current liabilities were EUR 71 million at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: EUR 72 million). Due to the implementation of IFRIC 23, as explained in the Significant accounting policies, the Other tax liability is reclassified to the new Non-current tax liabilities line in the Consolidated balance sheets.
