Description

State-owned rail freight company CFR Marfa is to cut 2,500 jobs in 2014.

As announced, the Romanian Government promotes a cost-cutting restructuring programme envisaging, among other measures, a job reduction plan aimed at decreasing operating losses.

According to media reports, a recent privatisation effort encountered obstacles but a new plan is to be implemented by 2015.
