Description

On 20 January 2012, the Danish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries (Fødevareministeriet) announced that 108 employees will be made redundant. The redundancies include 61 job cuts in the Danish Agri-Fish Agency (Naturerhvervsstyrelsen), six in the ministry and 41 employees which have agreed to leave voluntarily, i.e. as part of natural attrition.

It is reported that layoffs in the Danish public sector are seen more frequently due to cuts and increased demands for efficiency.
