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.
The Dutch government announced that it would cut about 12,000 defence ministry jobs as part of an austerity push. According to latest news, about 2,300 jobs will be eliminated by not refilling vacant positions and another 4,000 jobs will disappear through natural wastage.
The job cuts are more ambitious than previously estimated. Last year, the government indicated it would probably cut about 10,000 jobs in the ministry, which employed about 68,000 people.
