Stora Enso must cover cost of river clean-up, states Mykkänen

THERE should be no question over who should compensate for the environmental damage caused by a logging operation undertaken in Suomussalmi, Kainuu, by Stora Enso, according to Minister of Climate and the Environment Kai Mykkänen (NCP).

Mykkänen on Friday stated to Helsingin Sanomat that Stora Enso as the commissioner and executor of the operation must compensate fully for both the damage and the costs of the clean-up and rehabilitation efforts that are underway at the site.
