       Sept 24 (Reuters) - Belgian chemicals group Solvay
announced on Tuesday plans to enter into talks with labour
unions to cease production at its Salindres site in France.
    "The envisaged discontinuation of these activities would
result in the elimination of 68 positions," Solvay said in a
statement.
    The group expects to eliminate these positions between early
2025 and October 2025.
    The Salindres site is responsible for producing
trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and its fluorinated derivatives. Both
are organic compounds classified as PFAS according to the OECD
definition.
    The company said it expected to save around 50 million euros
 ($55.79 million) as a result.
