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.
UK Coal announced the shutting of Ellington Colliery with the loss of 340 jobs. This was the last deep mine in the north east of England. Desperate efforts were made to stem the huge quantities of water pouring into the production unit at the Ellington Colliery in Northumberland with only limited success. This follows the closure by UK Coal of the largest coal complex in Europe - at Selby in summer 2004.
