Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(6) Income Taxes We recorded an income tax expense at an effective rate of 40.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to an effective rate of 44.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The 2014 rate was favorably impacted by a change in the overall mix of earnings, primarily an increase to non-U.S. income. The 40.4% effective tax rate in the quarter was higher than the United States Federal statutory rate of 35%, and we currently expect an annual effective tax rate of approximately 36% to 38%, due primarily to the French business tax, repatriations, valuation allowances and other permanent items. As of March 31, 2014, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $32.8. We had related tax benefits of $1.9, and the net amount of $30.9 would favorably affect the effective tax rate if recognized. As of December 31, 2013, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $32.3. We had related tax benefits of $1.9 for a net amount of $30.4. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months. We conduct business globally and, as a result, we are routinely audited by the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Generally, the tax years that remain subject to tax examination are 2009 through 2013 for our major operations in Germany, Italy, France, Japan, United States and United Kingdom. As of March 31, 2014, we are subject to tax audits in France, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Norway and Spain. We believe that the resolution of these audits will not have a material impact on earnings.
