More Mills Raise Prices in Europe

http://www.arcticpaper.com/en/Pressroom/News-archive/Arctic-Paper-announces-a-general-price-increase-of-5-7-for-coated-fine-papers/ 
Arctic Paper wishes to announce to its customers a price increase on all CWF paper grades, both in sheets and reels. The price increase will range from 5-7% and will differ from the current price levels per country and paper grade.
The price increase will affect deliveries from 15 April 2013. Further price increases in 2013 seems to be inevitable, to secure a minimum profitability.
Following on from their earlier warning for a return to solid pricing policies in the face of sustained cost increases, Metsä Board has announced a price increase for its uncoated fine paper business in Europe.
The increase will be at least 50 Euro per tonne and take effect for all deliveries invoiced from 15th April 2013.
