Utility EDF to cut six pct of staff between 2017-2019

PARIS (Reuters) - French state-controlled utility EDF (PA:EDF) said on Thursday that it would cut staff numbers by around six percent between 2017-2019, as part of a broader restructuring in the company.

EDF did not precise the exact number of job losses in its statement, although a source close to the matter told Reuters earlier this week that the company would be cutting as many as 5,100 jobs in France.
