PS Unfortunately, our visit to Veracel was cancelled by Stora Enso management. It was a shock as we have visited 3 prior years. And there was no compromise given for a drive though trip. Reportedly, there have been incidents of missing clonal material with other visitors. This view is not shared by the other major members of the Brazilian industry, including Aracruz.. There is an understanding that two way communication is important and benefits both parties. We believe it is premature for Veracel as there is some forestry fine tuning that remains to be evaluated.
