Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
On 5 October 2006 the management of the assembly plant for photocopy machines Flextronics International Europe in Venray (Limburg) announced that 456 jobs (out of a total of 696) will be scrapped, due to the fact that their main client Xerox wants to transfer the assembly of photocopy machines to countries like Mexico and the Ukraine. According to Flextronics direct dismissals may not be necessary. The reduction of the announced amount of jobs will be done by not employing temporary workers anymore and not extending temporary employment contracts. Furthermore, permanent staff members will be 'recruited' from other divisions like Flextronics Logistics.
