Personnel expenses increased by €17 million compared with the preceding year.

The increase in personnel expenses is mainly due to an increase in wages and salaries of €5 million as a result of the Collective Labour Agreement. In addition, the costs of external staff have increased as a result of higher rates and a higher number of external staff members. Hours worked by externally hired staff and directly attributed to own investment projects are deducted from costs of external staff as capitalised production. The amount concerned is €13 million (2021: €12 million).
