On 27 April 2017, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of the Merger Regulation by which Evonik Industries AG (‘Evonik’, Germany), controlled by RAG Stiftung (Germany), acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of parts of J.M. Huber Corporation (‘Huber Silica’, US) by way of a purchase of shares and purchase of assets.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Evonik: the production and supply of speciality chemicals, including precipitated silica,
