Restructuring Charges [Abstract] |
Restructuring Charges | RESTRUCTURING CHARGES We periodically take action to improve operating efficiencies, typically in connection with business acquisitions or changes in the economic environment. Our footprint and headcount reductions and organizational integration actions relate to discrete, unique restructuring events, primarily reflected in the following plans: In 2015, we committed to a restructuring plan to integrate our Italian legacy operations with those of Indesit. The industrial restructuring plan which was approved by the relevant labor unions and signed by the Italian government in 2015, provided for the closure or repurposing of certain manufacturing facilities and headcount reductions at other facilities. In addition, the restructuring plan provided for headcount reductions in the salaried employee workforce. These actions are substantially complete. In 2018, we announced actions in EMEA to reduce fixed costs by $50 million. The initiatives primarily include headcount reductions throughout the EMEA region. Additionally, we exited domestic sales operations in Turkey. We expect these actions will be complete in 2019 with approximately $26 million expense remaining. The following table summarizes the restructuring actions above for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the total costs to date for each plan:
Millions of dollars | 2019 | Total
Indesit | $ | 8 |  | $ | 236 |
EMEA fixed cost actions | $ | 38 |  | $ | 52 |
The following table summarizes the changes to our restructuring liability during the six months ended June 30, 2019:

On May 31, 2019, we announced our intention to reconvert our Naples, Italy manufacturing plant and potentially sell the plant to a third party. Such actions are subject to continued negotiation and discussion with the Italian government, certain labor unions and potential third-party purchasers, and are subject to regulatory and legal review, as well as final approval of the relevant parties. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has not committed to a specific restructuring plan, therefore no liability has been incurred related to this matter.
