Norske Skog`s Corporate Assembly has unanimously approved the Board of Directors recommendation calling for a profit improvement plan.

 

An important part of the plan is a de-manning program targeted to reduce the number of employees by some 1,000. The largest cuts in relative terms will affect administrative functions, but the mills will also see considerable reductions.
