After Nokia's last act here in germany, this company is banned from my shopping list forever.

Yes, really bad "image" move to close down a factory just to move it in East Europe.

Many companies did the same here in Italy and move into Asia their production plants.
It seems in some EU countries citizens are just chickens to be ... spoiled.

I'm involved in the electoplating industries and a lot of uk and ireland companies either move their production to asia (very bad issues with quality though. ;D) or now the Czech republic due to the lack of Health and safety and lower wages.
A lot of the companies are well known brands.
