I think Harry said the Dutch produce 1000 pages a year (?). Hachette
produces something like 800 pages a year. Here are some figures I got
from the Disney database:

Indexed stories for year 1998:
1. Italy        9023
2. Denmark      4157
3. France        812
4. Netherlands   613 (?)
5. Brazil        440
6. Europe         88

(Note: part of pages not counted).
