Overview of the parking lot at the occupied Renault assembly plant in Vilvoorde, near Brussels late March 1, where workers are holding about 2,500 finished cars as bargaining chips in a conflict over the planned closure of the plant as part of a major reorganisation announced by Renault on February 27. The carmaker is expected to announce a 1996 loss, its first in 10 years. Renault plans to reduce the number of European production sites to 12 with the closure in July of its Belgian plant, moving production of Megane and Clio models to sites in France and -Spain.
