Sales in Other rose by €537 million compared with 2017 to €2,771 million, mainly as a result of higher sales volumes in the raw materials trading business.

At minus €450 million, income from operations before special items in Other was up €204 million from the prior-year figure. This was largely attributable to valuation effects for our long-term incentive program.
