1.


On 29 June 2017, the Commission received a notification of a proposed transaction pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Toray Industries, Inc. (‘Toray’, Japan) and Mitsui & Co., Ltd (‘Mitsui’, Japan) intend to acquire joint control, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the EUMR, over Soda Aromatic Co., Ltd (‘Soda’, Japan).










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


Toray is a global company headquartered in Japan with activities in more than 20 countries, active in the manufacturing, processing and sale of fibres and textiles, plastics and chemicals, IT-related products and carbon fibre composite materials; provision of environmental, engineering and life sciences services,










—


Mitsui is a global Japanese group active in the provision of logistics and financing, development of major international infrastructure and other projects in variety of fields: steel, mineral and metal resources; transportation systems; chemicals, energy, food, healthcare, consumer, IT, communication and corporate development, at a worldwide basis,

Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under the Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in this Notice.
