__________ (a)We do not recognize deferred taxes for a majority of the foreign currency translation gains and losses because we do not anticipate reversal in the foreseeable future. However, we have made elections to tax certain non-U.S. operations simultaneously in U.S. tax returns, and have recorded deferred taxes for temporary differences that will reverse, independent of repatriation plans, in U.S. tax returns. Taxes or tax benefits resulting from foreign currency translation of the temporary differences are recorded in Other comprehensive income/(loss), net of tax. (b)Reclassified to Other income/(loss), net. (c)Reclassified to Cost of sales. During the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify existing net losses on cash flow hedges of $6 million (see Note 13).
