"Danish-based shoe manufacturer Ecco is to recruit an extra 50 people this year to strengthen its sales and marketing, computing and human resources functions. The appointments are driven by the need to combat tougher competition and the global economic situation.    The company also says that it plans to trim its global business too. Its Danish staff will be cut by 91 in January 2002, and Danish production refocused on new products and special projects."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
