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.
On 21 August 2009 construction company Heijmans announced that during 2009 the total amount of job cuts in 2009 would rise to 1,100. At the end of 2008, Heijmans had already announced the loss of 450 jobs. The actual loss of jobs was higher: 700 (see factsheet 12227). In the second half of 2009 this went up to 1,100. Futhermore, Heijnmans announced it will try to sell all its foreign activies. The company, one of the largest in construction in the Netherlands, has been hit hard by the crisis.
The Dutch authorities applied for aid from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) and it is currently being implemented.
