Dutch insurance company Eureko informed its 200 employees in the Bucharest region that it will stop its activity in Romania by January 2013. As a result, 200 jobs will be cut.
The company, which has been operating in Romania since 2004, claimed that the decision is due to the high cumulative financial loss incurred.
