Restructuring and re-launch of enterprises going through crisis
"In Europe the chemical sector is going through a critical phase: the downturn of major markets has stifled production, the pressure on margins has increased (due both to oil prices and to the growth of overseas competition) and profitability has been affected by unfavourable exchange rates. In every sector (commodities, industrial gas and agrochemicals), the sustainability of European companies will depend on the ability to undertake restructuring actions aimed at improving cost position on the one side, and on the ability to differentiate the offering (service and innovation) to counter Asiatic competition, on the other."
