This followed an initial settlement at the same price, which wasconfirmed by another buyer and a seller Monday.

The full settlement represented an increase of Eur60/mt from May's fullsettlement at Eur830/mt.

A monthly contract price is considered fully settled once two independentproducers and two consumers have agreed the same price.

The month-on-month increase came amid the restart of Indorama'sdownstream 700,000 mt/year Sines PTA plant in Portugal, which sources said hadattracted PX imports from the Middle East, in addition to tightening supplieswithin Europe.

Support for the euro-denominated PX ECP also came against the backdrop ofa weak euro, which has remained below $1.17 this week.

Firm Asian spot PX prices, which hovered above $1,000/mt a few weeksearlier, also lent support to the ECP negotiations.

European PX spot prices were last assessed Monday at $945/mt FOB ARA, up$20/mt on the day.
