Stora Enso is starting co-determination negotiations at Kemijärvi due to wood shortage in Finland


Stora Enso Oyj Stock Exchange Release 14 June 2007 at 11.00 GMT

Stora Enso is starting co-determination negotiations concerning
possible temporary lay-offs of personnel at its Kemijärvi pulp mill
in Finland due to the shortage of wood.

The wood shortage has been caused by the short and mild winter in
Finland, Sweden and Russia, which adversely affected harvesting
conditions. Reductions in wood exports from Russia, particularly for
birch pulpwood, and additional export duties on roundwood announced
by Russia are also aggravating the wood supply situation.
