The following is quoted from http://www.emigroup.com/news/index.asp: Alain Levy (EMI Group division's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) said: "We are now in the middle of a major redesign of EMI Recorded Music which will result in a reduction in our cost base, but will also make us more efficient and more competitive in order to drive growth. "We have made several very important organisational changes in the last few weeks, and more will come in the weeks ahead. Since joining EMI, David Munns and I have grown increasingly convinced that the company has a fantastic collection of people and assets and that performance, in terms of sales and profitability, can be improved quickly. "There's no doubt that some of our difficulties are a function of music industry practices. We're committed to finding new ways to do business and to placing long term, sustainable development at the top of our agenda. "Missing a target is not good news - but most important for EMI is the shape of things to come. We are on a path to reshaping the Recorded Music group and we are very positive about the future." -end of quote- Does this mean that Kraftwerk will be dismissed from EMI? DER AUTOMAT
