I offentlighedens øjne er det sikkert svært at forstå, at en fransk virksomhed beslutter at lukke en af sine afdelinger i et andet land end Frankrig, men denne beslutning, der alene påhviler virksomhedens ansvarlige ledelse, er sandsynligvis blevet fremmet af en sammenlignende analyse af produktionsomkostningerne.
In the eyes of public opinion, it is indeed difficult to see why a French undertaking should decide to close down one of its sites outside its own country; but this decision, for which the Renault management is entirely responsible, was certainly encouraged by a relative and comparative analysis of the production costs.
