Forest industry won all the way in cartel case
Summary:
The Supreme Court will not take up Metsähallitus' demands in the timber cartel case. Aproximately 500 private forest owners, over 30 municipalities and Metsähallitus have litigated against Finland's three major forest companies for several years. They have all claimed compensation due to the wood cartel maintained by Metsäliitto, UPM and Stora Enso between 1997 and 2004. The ruling in the district court and in the court of appeal has in all cases been the same: It has not been possible to prove that those who sold timber to the companies suffered losses due to the cartel. The case is now closed. The Supreme Court on Tuesday announced that it will not take up Metsähallitus's appeal.

Forests with different-aged trees is an exception
Summary:
Heinäveden Koneurakointi has 50 years of experience of forest work. The company carries out felling mainly for the customers of Metsä Group. According to Pasi Mikkonen, he has never encountered a forest where continuous culture is practised. Arto Kaipainen, a forest expert at Stora Enso Metsä, agrees with Mr Mikkonen. They have only received one tender on exploitation felling. Mr Kaipainen says that the wood buyer carries out the felling based on the model agreed with the forest owner. The price paid for wood gained in exploitation felling is not the same as in clear felling, he adds. In practise, often part of the work is carried out as exploitation felling due to landscape reasons.

Uncertainty casts shadow on major companies' result season - forest companies more successful than others
Summary:
Even though uncertainty in the world markets has grown, the results of Finnish listed companies developed well at the end of the year, forecasts predict. The profit forecast for UPM, Stora Enso and SSAB looks promising. During recent years, forest industry has been the best-developing sector in Finland. The companies' results have been strengthened particularly by strongly growing pulp prices. Analyst Harri Taittonen of Nordea says that a significant question for the sector is how the decline in China's pulp demand at the end of the year affects Finnish companies.
