5. Restructuring

Restructuring expenses in 2012 were principally related to a reduction in workforce in Sweden and the previously announced curtailment of manufacturing in New York and Wisconsin. Those costs were partially offset by a reduction in accruals related to the relocation of the Company's headquarters. The restructuring activities in Sweden are related to lower demand for paper machine clothing in Europe.

The following tables summarize charges reported in the Statement of Income under "Restructuring and other, net" for 2012 and 2011:
