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.
French oil and gas services company CGG Veritás has announced plans to cut 10% of its employees worldwide by the end of 2014, corresponding to around 900 employees. The job cuts will take place via the closure of sites in Norway, Nigeria and Venezuela. It is not yet known how the redundancies will be split across the three locations. The company said that the decision to implement the restructuring plans had been motivated by a decline in revenues in the second quarter of 2014, with the group registering net losses of 325 million USD, as well as by adverse market conditions. The company also plans to reduce its fleet from 18 to 13 vessels and sell off land-based activities in North America. The group employed 9,688 staff at the end of 2013.
