Things settle a bit, the first social service that the government should take. The decree establishing the terms of a partial return to retire at age 60 for employees "who started work at 18 or 19 years and have contributed for 41 years" will be released "late June, early July at the latest," said Marisol Touraine, the Minister of Social Affairs and Health. "It is a priority measure of justice", she insisted on the eve of the opening of the consultation with social partners asked him to run Jean-Marc Ayrault on the subject.

The Prime Minister on his part said that there would be some leeway on how to start part 60. For now, only employees who actually contributed 41 years are concerned. Those who reach this time thanks to bonuses under the military service, unemployment, maternity or sick leave are not. Well, not yet

The Minister has merely to recall the target year of the return to retirement at age 60 (150,000 beneficiaries) and cost (one billion). "I will make a trade based on financial constraints", for his part nuanced Jean-Marc Ayrault faxless payday advance. In short, nothing is locked and discussions within the government have not started.

SMIC: no fork

Same uncertainty about the level of boost to the minimum wage before the summer that Francois Hollande said. Jean-Marc Ayrault has even refused yesterday to give a range. "The same rule applies in this matter as on others, dialogue and respect for partners, justified the Prime Minister. We spent five years with a president who decided everything, and it worked poorly. "Do not bother to repeat past mistakes, even if the decree should be published quickly increase, in any event before the conference Social in July.

"The Prime Minister has no incentive to plant on these two decrees augurera as this evil if his vision of social dialogue," warns Pascale Cotton, the general secretary of the CFTC. Number 2 of the central Christian "refuses any escalation of the minimum wage" and recalls that "supplementary pension funds do not have the means to finance a partial return too much to retire at 60".

Settlement period for theft

After stealing a vehicle, the insured must receive a settlement offer from the insurer within 30 days. The amount of compensation is the estimated value of the vehicle during flight. If, after this period of 30 days, the vehicle is recovered, the insured can choose between:

Born primarily the desire to escape the influence of the United States and Europe, the group of Brics, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, is still seeking an identity. For now, the five emerging economies, which account for 40% of world population and weigh almost a quarter of global GDP, have in common especially their insolent growth. A favorable economic foundation for greater integration, but that has yet to consolidate.

More ambitiously, the desire to define a common diplomacy is squarely a figment of the imagination, as are large differences within the Brics international political crises. Not to mention the simmering conflict between India and China, who have not settled their border issues.

Nevertheless, the Brics are taking shape. And the fourth summit of the five emerging countries to be held Thursday in New Delhi could lead to some concrete decisions. "The Brics are a unique group. It is not based on geography, as the European Union (EU) or the Association of Southeast Asian (ASEAN), "notes Sudhir Vyas, Secretary for Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Delhi. Adding: "Beyond their role as drivers of global growth, the five countries are united in their desire to seek durable solutions to global challenges, they can afford."

Although Beijing and New Delhi have revised their growth forecasts downwards, the two capitals show figures to be the envy of Europe and the U.S.: + 7.5% of GDP increase in China this year + 6.9% in India. According to a report released Wednesday by Knight Frank and Citi Private Bank, India could become the world's largest economy by 2050. "China will overtake the U no teletrack payday loans.S. in 2020, and will be overtaken in turn by India in 2050," analysts said.

Compete with the dollar

Wednesday, the eve of the summit, trade ministers of Brics had several working sessions in New Delhi. "The consequences of the financial crisis (in Europe) affect everyone. We must work together to overcome the problem, "said the Indian Minister of Commerce and Industry, Anand Sharma. Chen Deming, his Chinese counterpart, dearer: "It is urgently necessary to prevent the crisis in the European Union is escalating."

The agenda of the summit of Brics is vast. It only last a few hours, in a transformed Indian capital into a fortress. It will discuss food security, health, but also the puzzle of the Iranian nuclear and Syria. The highlight, however, will create a "bank of Brics", already nicknamed "South-South Bank." The project, proposed by the Indians, is still in its infancy. But the idea is timely then that the Brics seek to formalize their lives by forging institutions.

Bank of Brics would particularly called upon to finance infrastructure projects in developing countries. It is also a great way to circumvent the euro and the dollar … the benefit of the Chinese currency. This is not to please all members of the group. Brazil, in particular, complained about the undervaluation of the yuan. "This project shows that bank emerging attempt to withdraw from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, which are dominated by Westerners," says John Mashaka for its part, an analyst at Wells Fargo Capital Markets.

It is in the Christofle workshops in Saint-Denis, near Paris, where the Assizes are held the craft, the Secretary of State for Crafts and SMEs today unveiled a thirty measures. Frederic Lefebvre also presents the first dictionary of trades and crafts made by the Higher Institute of trades. While the economic slowdown weakens small companies, the government has sought to limit their cash flow problems. The State must pay the bills upon receipt of an amount less than 5000 euros. "I wrote to all the major French companies and representatives of local communities so that they apply the same rule," says Frédéric Lefebvre.

The artisans can compete more easily for the procurement of up to 15,000 euros, against 4,000 euros previously. "There are thousands of markets that they are going to get easier. We work to promote the hiring of apprentices as an element of choice for businesses in public procurement. Finally, I remain determined to convince the public purchasers to join our project of setting up a central website for the TPE easily know where to find listings of government procurement, "said Frederic Lefebvre.

Transmission and recovery companies will be encouraged. "We will develop regional branches of repayable advances of funds, with the chambers of trade and craft areas and support networks that help entrepreneurs such OSEO and Siagi, said Secretary of State . We will provide an opportunity for buyers to keep an artisan when staff have over 10 employees. Today, a cottage industry, when it is created, is to use up to 10 employees; in the future, a buyer may acquire a company employing 20 employees without it losing its status as an artisan. ".. …… Develop exports

A government portal, listing the aid that can benefit small-scale entrepreneurs, will be implemented. Artisans will participate in the commission of reducing paperwork, composed equally of government officials and business leaders, which will be implemented on March 19. "About 10 measures will reduce and simplify the calculation and payment of social contributions. For example, the Contractor may choose the monthly or quarterly surveys of its social security contributions. The lag between the time of its collection of revenues and the payment of social security contributions will be reduced, "says Frédéric Lefebvre.

The poles for Innovation of Crafts will be developed. "I hope that the craftsmen and designers collaborate more. I am setting up a double signature "made by" with the name of the craftsman and "designed by" with the name of designer, enabling artisans to defend their talent and authenticity in the global marketplace, "explains Frédéric Lefebvre . The cabinetmaker Rinck won a solid commercial success by working with Philippe Starck and other designers. Hundred thousand euros will be allocated to projects where a designer and craftsman have worked together.

To develop the exports made by artisans, which exceed 6 billion euros a year, Paris Airport opens the first half of a space dedicated to the craft at the airport of Roissy-Charles de Gaulle. Spaces of the art of French living will be opened in New York and Tokyo. "I hope that the great American fortunes, Asian, South American or Russian sponsor of French craftsmen labeled" business of living heritage and crafts. " Artisans will be able to win new business, "says Frédéric Lefebvre. This operation sponsorship will be launched in the first half in Moscow and Miami.

Conclusion of the Secretary of State, who does not forget the campaign: "Artisans are strong pillars of France defended the president. They embody the work, a key value that France remains the fifth largest economy. They create jobs, growth, and defend the identity of the territories. "

Nicolas Sarkozy's promise to the workers and employees is clear: lowering of 4 billion euros labor costs at the minimum wage, will increase their take home pay. To finance the measure without worsening deficits, it intends to eliminate the employment bonus (PPE) and increase the taxation of dividends. A device that is the electorate.

 

Inequalities between men and women die hard. On wages, women continued to earn 20% less than men in 2009, INSEE said Wednesday in its latest publication on employment and wages. If this gap has narrowed significantly since 1954 (he was then 35%), it is virtually stagnant since the early 1990s.

This inequality is calculated based on hours of work the same for men and women. But if one takes into account the number of hours actually worked over the year, the gap increases again, due to the higher proportion of women working part-time while they earn nearly 30% of less than men. Positive, however, wage inequality tends to be reduced in less than 25 years.

INSEE explains this persistent inequality by "a qualifying structure" different from each sex. More men, for example, are managers (19% against 12% of women). Even within the same occupational category, inequalities remain payday loan online. And sometimes compounded: a female manager in the private sector and 23% earn less than men.

Involuntary part-time

This is partly the effect of the famous "glass ceiling" that prevents women from accessing certain positions. It is also, according to INSEE, the resulting choice of training, industries or career operated by women. Many of them, for example, moving towards the sectors of health or social work, pay less.

The highest proportion of female part-timers do not necessarily result also a choice, especially motivated by family reasons. Even among those who have no children, the proportion of part-time employees is 17% higher than that of men. A figure that reflects the overrepresentation of women in the service sector, where part-time is more widespread.

SNCF will release on February 16 as "good" annual results, in the words of its leadership. Yet they will undergo a severe movement of the plane. On 14 February, the president of SNCF, Guillaume Pepy, unveiled to participants of a seminar on "business model TGV" that his group would carry out an impairment of € 700 million on its TGV . "The value of TGV, now in the books of the SNCF, amounts to nearly 4.5 billion euros," he said, according LaTribune.fr who reports his remarks. We will depreciate the 700 million euros because we have too many trains and they are mostly old. "

The fleet has 457 SNCF trains whose average age is 17 years. This decision comes as the SNCF profitability of the branch TGV group – very profitable long – has deteriorated in recent years. An evolution largely attributed by the public company to the concomitant increase in tolls which it must pay with Réseau Ferré de France (RFF), owner of the tract payday loans for bad credit. Since late last week, SNCF and RFF have agreed on changes in rates of tolls until 2018. Guillaume Pepy was this medium-term visibility a prerequisite for engaging in orders for new trains. He said Tuesday that such investments would only be possible when the operating margin of the travel industry would reach 20%. Or it tops out at 14% today.

Until 2015, the fleet will continue to welcome new trains: 15 "Euro Duplex" will be delivered by Alstom in 2012, 11 in 2013, 11 in 2014 and seven in 2015. According to its chief financial officer, David Azema, who intervenaitle February 15 parliamentary days when the rail is in fact particularly after 2025 that the station should replace trains end of life.
