Outsourcing has been going on in the UK and Spain for a long time, many of the traditional industries have been outsourced to Asian just like what happened to the US.

For example steel works, ship building (Scotland), there is virtually no mining left. All the cheap labour has taken away a lot of jobs

a lot of "outsourcing" happens within EU, where they relocate assembly lines and big service centers to Poland / Slovakia / Hungary (etc, wherever there is cheap labor and educated work force).
