"By the end of the scason we should be back to normal,” he said. About 80 percent of the chips are produced by the operations of Eurocan and partner West Fraser, and the remainder are bought from northwest sawmills. "We've tried hard to sell them domestically, but there’s not enough demand," Cates said. Last year Eurocan exported 60,000 BDU’s (bone dry units), the equivalent of 168,000 cubic metres of wood. Under its permit Eurocan could have sold up to 100,000 BDU’s on the export market. Under an Order-In-Council signed Dec. 12, 1990, Eurocan will have the right to sell 30,000 BDU’s in 1991 and 1992, 60,000. in 1993 and 100,000 in 1994, provided the chips are "surplus to domestic needs” and cach sale is approved by the regional forest manager. as fe ane We a A gna ae “se Ai, sd d~ ht Sane Sap SBM Rise Sane le - ¥ z : a lore
