    Voorbeeldzinnen

    1. His audience is falling off these days.
    2. Attendance had been falling off and such people as did come sat about indifferently.
    3. Climbing a ladder always includes the possibility of falling off and injuring oneself.
    4. Falling off’ is therefore ‘built into the ladder’; it is an intrinsic part of using a ladder and cannot be excluded. ‘Falling off’ is thus called the intrinsic hazard of a ladder.
    5. This hazard, however, does not always materialise, since many people climb ladders without falling off and injuring themselves.
    6. Bridges, ramps and gangways must be fitted with sides, railings or some other means of protection to prevent animals falling off them.
    7. Parts of the machinery where persons are liable to move about or stand must be designed and constructed in such a way as to prevent persons slipping, tripping or falling on or off these parts.
    8. The container must remain under the test pressure long enough to make it possible to establish that the pressure is not falling off and that the container can be guaranteed leakproof.
    9. Where there is a risk due to the load falling off the carrier, the machinery must be designed and constructed in such a way as to prevent this risk.
    10. This hazard, however, does not always materialise, since many people climb ladders without falling off and injuring themselves. This suggests that there is a certain likelihood (or probability), but no certainty, of the intrinsic hazard materialising.
    11. Germany here undertakes to ensure that by 1 January 2005 IBB’s development business is transferred to a newly set up, independent development bank belonging to the Land of Berlin and that, at the same time, the IBB special reserve is hived off from LBB towards the capital of the new development bank to the extent possible without falling below a core‐capital ratio of 6 % on 1 January 2004.
    12. The IBB special reserve of Landesbank Berlin will be used, to the extent possible on 1 January 2004, to provide capital for the new development bank and will, therefore, be hived off from Landesbank, without the core‐capital ratio (tier one) within the Bankgesellschaft group (following the hiving‐off of IBB) falling below 6 %, but not for an amount of more than EUR 1,1 billion. The part of the IBB special reserve that may still be necessary to provide capital for the Bankgesellschaft group in accordance with the above paragraph will be injected into LBB by the Land of Berlin directly or indirectly as a contribution in kind (which may, however, not exceed EUR 1,1 billion) in the form of one or more dormant holdings ranking as core capital.
    13. Only if the amount were EUR 21,6 billion would all conceivable risks mentioned above be covered, so that the group banks’ loans to property service companies, which on account of the risks were being committed and drawn down from rent, renewal and the other above‐mentioned guarantees, play no role in the calculation of the subsidiary banks’ and the group’s own‐funds ratios because they have a 0 % weighting in the calculation and are therefore not included and also not set off against the large‐scale lending limits. Limiting the maximum amount of liability to the economically realistic risk would, on the contrary, mean in supervisory terms that the credits would have to count as risk assets to the tune of EUR [...]*, the large‐scale lending ceiling would be exceeded and the falling own‐funds ratios would make a further significant capital injection necessary.
