“In the first three months of 2010, our business continued to stabilize substantially, said Continental executive board chairman Elmar Degenhart

“Sales and EBIT form a very firm basis for us to achieve the corporate goals we have set for 2010, al­though it is not yet possible to say how the European automotive industry will develop in the second half of the year.”
