Edinburgh Evening News: Shell axes 400 more Euro jobs
SHELL, the Anglo-Dutch oil and gas giant, has announced a further 400 job losses across Europe.
The news came on the back of staff cuts announced earlier in the week due to the restructuring of its exploration and production business.
The creation of EP Europe, a new eight-country operating division, will see a staff reduction of 1300 and not the 900 originally forecast. Shells exploration and production operations currently employ around 5450 staff in Europe.
Just two weeks ago, Shell said 350 UK North Sea staff and contractor jobs would be lost, but a further 260 posts have been added to that.
Around 200 of them will be onshore jobs at Lowestoft in East Anglia. Another 100 jobs will go in Aberdeen and London.
Shells restructuring is part of the companys drive to make cost savings of between £320 million and £510m by 2006.
Final details of the run down of Lowestoft, which will occur over two years, are expected towards the end of the year.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
