Demand for appliances in Western Europe is expected to continue to
improve and grow in the range of 2 – 3% for the full year 2016. Demand
in Eastern Europe is expected to increase by approximately 2%, although
there remains a high degree of uncertainty regarding the development in
Russia and Ukraine. Demand in North America has improved for the past
three years. We expect a continued stable development and forecast
