Sales in Other rose by €224 million compared with 2016 to €2,242 million, mainly as a a result of higher sales prices in the raw materials trading business. At minus €764 million, income from operations before special items in Other was up €286 million on the prior-year figure. This is largely attributable to valuation effects for our long-term incentive program.
