Ford said it has ceased production at three plants in Russia, is closing plants in France and Wales, and has cut shifts at factories in Valencia, Spain and Saarlouis, Germany.

Ford said it will have cut 12,000 jobs in Europe by the end of next year to try to return the business to profit, part of a wave of cost reductions in an auto industry facing stagnant demand and record-level investments to build low emission cars.

The challenge of investing in electric, hybrid and autonomous vehicles while having to overhaul combustion engines to meet new clean-air rules, has forced Europe's carmakers to slash fixed costs and streamline their model portfolios.

Ford said it has ceased production at three plants in Russia, is closing plants in France and Wales, and has cut shifts at factories in Valencia, Spain and Saarlouis, Germany.

"We have largely concluded consultations with social partners regarding restructuring actions," Stuart Rowley, president, Ford of Europe told Reuters.

Approximately 12,000 jobs will be affected at Ford's wholly owned facilities and consolidated joint ventures in Europe by the end of 2020, primarily through voluntary separation programs.

Don't worry, Merkel is preparing to sell out Europe to sell more cars in Mercosur and pollute the world with more cars and poison European customers with Brazilian meat with no quality or animal welfare control.

Thanks Merkel;
- More cars to heat up the globe and pollute
- Helping the car industry, famous for their tricks and fraud regarding co2 emission
- No animal rights, corruption in food chains
- Less CO2 from animals in Europe, many many more CO2 in south America
- Throw away the health of European citizens
- No more control over the food chain how and where it is produced
- Dead cows will fly to Europe and make it 1 degrees warmer in 2030

"Merkel wants the EU-Mercosur agreement. But France and Italy: "No to invasion of South American meat"

The German chancellor and 6 other European lader want to close the trade agreement quickly with Argentina, Brazil, Paraguy and Uruguay. The automotive and pharmaceutical industries are in favor

After twenty years of negotiations, a trade agreement between the European Union and South American countries is near. Not everyone is enthusiastic. The Party for the Animals and farmers find each other in the resistance.

The Dutch food market can prepare itself for "massive dumping of chicken poultry, bad beef, heavily sprayed sugar" and other products that are manufactured in places in the world where animal welfare plays no role, says Marianne Thieme, party leader of the Party for the Animals. She warns the government that agriculture in the Netherlands will soon be "broken down".

Very cheap and contaminated meat
In Germany, there is mainly joy about the impending deal: the car manufacturers are ready to mass-export their vehicles across the Atlantic. But in other countries, such as France, Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands, there are concerns. The Mercosur agreement also means that South American countries can more easily sell their agricultural products in Europe. The farmers feel threatened. Environmental organizations and political parties warn against the import of dirt-cheap and contaminated meat.
