    On 13 October 2015, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Solvay SA (‘Solvay’, Belgium) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of Cytec Industries Inc. (‘Cytec’, United States).

    2.   

    The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

    —   for Solvay: research, development, production, marketing and sale of chemicals and plastics, including mining chemicals, globally,
