Ford decides to close Genk and Southampton plants

Ford closes the Genk plant while the new generation of Mondeo, S-Max and Galaxyare to be launched in 2013.A success could have boosted the site activity.

Even if new capacities have been set up in Romania (however lower than in Belgium), the choice of closing Belgian and British plants lets to think that Ford is not confident in a recovery of the European market. As its competitor GM, Ford gives the feeling to have a plan to ebb from a declining European market and turn towards more profitable regions like North America, Brazil, Russia, India and China.

 

With its restructuring process and its product plan, Ford targets a return to profits in Europeas soon as in 2015. The group unveiled a long term operational margin objective of 6 to 8% for Europe in 2015.

The European Union is committed to free trade negotiations with Japan

Details
The European Union is committed to free trade negotiations with Japan
- The European Union passed a resolution on October 25 to open free trade negotiations with Japan.  According to the resolution, non-tariff barriers create benefits - traditional or regulatory - for local businesses, and are more difficult to remove than tariffs. In the past, such barriers have prevented European firms to take full advantage of trade opportunities with Japan. Exports from the European Union to Japan could rise to 71% if the tariff and non-tariff barriers were reduced as much as it is possible.
- MEPs insist, however, on the fact that the negotiating mandate should include "clear and measurable objectives" for removal of non-tariff barriers such as the "rules of land use“, the restrictions on electric and hybrid cars, and preferential treatment enjoyed by midgets in Japan (cars under 660cc).
- The association of European manufacturers (ACEA) has clearly taken a stand against such an agreement. The main arguments are the asymmetry of the situation between Europe and Japan. In the context of such a free trade agreement, the Japanese would be much better off than the European manufacturers.
