On 13 December 2006 the US Antitrust authorities announced that

magazine paper in the USA in 2002 and 2003. No Stora Enso employee 
was charged individually. 

Stora Enso denies any wrongdoing and will enter a plea of not

investigation that began in May 2004. The Group expects the trial 
to occur in 2007.
