     1   MS. STEEL:   If I have anything, it will not be any more than 10
     2        minutes at the very most.
     3
     4   MR. MORRIS:   Can I just give everyone the documents.  I have
     5        the handwritten documents, if they want to look at them
     6        over lunch, and also these other documents.  I will see if
     7        they are all stapled properly together.  (Handed)  I do
     8        think, actually, I have got your original here.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It does not matter.
    11
    12   MR. MORRIS:   I will give you my -- and I will explain this
    13        afternoon.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will resume at two o'clock.

    19   MR. MORRIS:   What kind of area of forest is needed to keep
    20        McDonald's provided with paper for its paper usage in the
    21        year, every year?  And I will start off by referring to
    22        some points Mr. Mallinson made.  This was very sort of
    23        detailed.  In some ways it is a detailed issue, in other
    24        ways it is actually quite simple, depending on which way it
    25        is approached.
    26
    27        If we go to Mr. Mallinson, who was a forest expert, day 56,
    28        page 38, lines 7 and 47, he said that the hundred year
    29        cycle was reasonable for the Scandinavia forest cycle, and
    30        that was a major supply area for McDonald's, as we know.
    31        He said on page 39, line 56, the Enso-Gutzeit mill and
    32        Scotland are comparable - that is his word - comparable
    33        regarding yield.
    34
    35        And then at line 60 on that page, he said thinnings go to
    36        pulp production mostly, thinnings from the forest.
    37        Although there was some toing and froing on that subject,
    38        I think Casper Von Erp also referred to thinnings.
    39
    40        In fact, before I carry on with Mallinson, let me go
    41        through the final bit on Casper Von Erp about this subject
    42        because I should have dealt with that before we got heavily
    43        into Mr. Mallinson's testimony.  Mr. Von Erp said on pages
    44        21 to 36 of day 63, that Enso was the main virgin paper
    45        supplier.  That is in Finland.  On page 21, line 25, that
    46        they had no specification on the type of forest to use, you
    47        know, regarding any environmental concerns.
    48
    49        Page 22, line 38, most Enso paper was from thinnings, he
    50        said.  Page 22, lines 54 to 60, some of the materials left 
    51        in the forest and it is not included in the calculation. 
    52 
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just pause a moment.  (Pause).  Yes.
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:   Then there was some details about use of chlorine
    56        derivatives in the production.  And then on page 27 -- oh,
    57        yes, that was a separate point, about packaging was
    58        imported from Canada.  Page 27 and also page 29, line 47,
    59        how packaging had been imported to Europe from Canada, even
    60        in one circumstance that he mentioned, despite there being
