If the vote on the agreement – dealing with the social plan for Antwerp that could see around 1,250 redundancies out of a 2,300 total is positive – this could lead to a memorandum of understanding being signed and leading the way to securing a potential new investor.
Sources close to the vote at the Antwerp plant say that counting will start at 10:00 tomorrow morning with the result known by midday local.
