A government-appointed investigator is scheduled to report his findings on Sept. 11 about PSA Peugeot Citroen's plan to shed as many as 8,000 jobs and close an assembly plant in France.

Industrial expert Emmanuel Sartorius is charged with determining whether PSA's restructuring plan is needed and if job cuts can be averted. The French government has not said what it might do if Sartorius concludes the company's actions are unnecessary.

PSA tells Automotive News Europe that such a government study usually is conducted when a French company announces large domestic job reductions.
