The target of the negotiations was to find measures to adjust activities in Finland to meet the weakened demand of mobile phone chargers. In addition, the target is to further improve customer relationship management by enhancing cooperation between sales and R&D functions through a rearrangement in the organization structure. As a result of the negotiations, 36 people in Finland will be laid off for four weeks' period during the first half of the year. Members of the Management Team will contribute to the adjustment measures with temporary salary cut of 5%. In addition, due to the change in the organization structure and a decrease in the amount of work, a total of four permanent and one temporary employments will be terminated. At the end on 2008, the total number of personnel in Finland was 64 people.
