DATE ON WHICH A CORRECTION COEFFICIENT COMES INTO EFFECT (PLACES OF EMPLOYMENT WITH A HIGH COST-OF-LIVING INCREASE)

Labour costs increased by 3,3 % over the period considered, from EUR 35,2 Mio in 1999 to EUR 36,3 Mio during the IP.

Furthermore, the employment cost per employee has increased overall in line with inflation during the period considered.

Labour costs increased by 3,3 % over the period considered, from EUR 35,2 million in 1999 to EUR 36,3 million during the IP.

Such cooperation could also have accelerated European standardization, reduced costs and increased the quality of the services.

reduction of investment and maintenance/operating costs due to increased competition between manufacturers and maintenance companies,

Such a state of affairs leads to increased costs and longer delivery periods and is particularly penalising for foreign manufacturers.

When comparing these transport costs with the ones determined in the framework of the original investigation, it appears that transport costs have marginally increased, and not decreased, between the two IPs.

Average labour costs of the sample increased only by 4,2 % in the period considered, hence, this does not explain the profitability decrease.

This could foster technologies which reduce the costs of services and contribute to increasing competitiveness of European industry structures.
