Readers comments:

We have found an extract from a web page in Russian which suggests it has a connection with Gibraltar - can any reader who knows Russian tell us more?

А польское предприятие ТOR-PAL ищет в Минске поставщиков древесины хвойных пород, деревянных элементов, крепежных материалов. В экспорте пиломатериалов из Беларуси и России в Соединенные Штаты Америки и страны Западной Европы заинтересована компания CHALLACOMBE TRADING из Гибралтара

I don't know Russian very well but from what I have understood from the
text you published in your last newsletter, it seems that the Challacombe
Trading is a firm from Giblartar who is interested in export of wooden
materials from Bielorussia and Russia to US and Eastern Europe. The first sentance states that a Polish firm Tor-Pal seeks in Minsk suppliers of wood and wooden materials as well but I don't know whether it in any way conects with the second sentence. It might be just an advertisement as well. (Tvind Alert correspondent)
