Stora Enso to Shrink Workforce

In past releases, we had reported that Nordic paper companies experienced losses at the end of last year given slow demand from customers for newspapers and magazines. This year has not proven to yield any improvement and total production in the forest sector has slumped by some 30 percent.
On Finnish company, Stora Enso, will now lay off off up to 1,100 workers, cut production and close mills in Finland as the paper maker continues to struggle with dwindling revenue.
Stora Enso is one of the world's largest forest product companies making magazine paper, newsprint, fine paper, pulp and packaging boards.

I understand UPM is making the same cuts and shutting down equipment. Can anyone comment on this and other European manufacturers?
