The tax effects on the net activity related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, were as follows:


Tax benefit (expense)	2020		2019		2018
Foreign currency translation gains/losses	$	128.3	$	(18.4)	$	51.6
Unrealized net gains/losses on securities	(4.3)		(7.4)		2.1
Defined benefit pension and retiree health benefit plans	44.8		184.1		(85.3)
Effective portion of cash flow hedges	32.1		(7.3)		1.3
Benefit/(provision) for income taxes allocated to other comprehensive income (loss) items	$	200.9	$	151.0	$	(30.3)

Except for the tax effects of foreign currency translation gains and losses related to our foreign currency-denominated notes, cross-currency interest rate swaps, and other foreign currency exchange contracts designated as net investment hedges (see Note 7), income taxes were not provided for foreign currency translation. Generally, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. For those operations, changes in exchange rates generally do not affect cash flows; therefore, resulting translation adjustments are made in shareholders' equity rather than in the consolidated statements of operations.
