The production volumes of AS Norma will decrease since November 2008 as a result of the Russian and Ukraine car manufacturers´ 3-4 week shutdowns and Norma´s Western customers´ 2-4 week shutdowns at the turn of the year 2008-2009. The situation should stabilize beginning from March 2009 according to the available information from the customers.
