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.
Energy supplier E.On is to close its face-to-face selling department, where 450 jobs will be lost.
The company is under investigation following allegations of misselling products in its face-to-face and telephone sales operations, though it claims that the investigation did not require the closure.
The move to end face-to-face selling in shopping centres follows the decision to end doorstop selling in July 2012. In 2011, the ERM reported on 500 job cuts at E.On in the UK.
