Estonian supermarket chain operator A-Selver will lay off 220 employees with the planned discontinuation of its operations in Latvia. The company opened 6 locations in Estonia in 2008. Council chairman Andres Järving said, "Selver decided to expand in Latvia at a time when the depth of the crisis that has taken place by now could not be predicted by anyone."
