Prices for brown kraftliner moved a step higher in July, albeit later in some cases than producers had wanted.
The outcome of the latest price round was an increase of €20/t, often for deliveries from 1 July but sometimes only starting later in the month.
There were reportedly no exceptions to the €20 figure but this was just half of the originally planned hike.
Producers refuse to give up on the second half of their targeted amount and say they want to negotiate implementation for August deliveries.
