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 French National Forest Agency (Office national des Forêts) has announced to cut 226 positions in 2019. This will be achieved by not replacing the retiring employees and by removing from the organigram 145 vacant positions already frozen since June 2018. The National Forest Agency manages natural areas in France. Its work is conducted as part of a multi-year framework agreement with the state. It ensures the sustainable management of French public forests (nearly 10 million hectares).
The agency, a commercial and industrial state-run body (établissement public à caractère industriel et commercial, EPIC) has decreased its workforce substantially over the last 30 years. A previous restructuring was recorded in 2012: 700 job reductions between 2012 and 2016.
