Not everything has dragged on last night in Brussels. From 20 hours, the heads of state of the 27 EU countries have approved the launch of a large recapitalization of European banks, encrypted by the industry policeman to 106 billion euros. The principle was in fact acknowledged the last Saturday by finance ministers.

106 billion euros. This figure results from the examination of bank balance sheets after taking into account the loss of value to the end of September of sovereign debt Greek, Irish, Portuguese, Spanish or Italian, but also gains recorded on their German or British counterparts. On this basis, regulators assessed for each bank the way to go to 9% of regulatory capital ratio ("core tier 1" prudential banking jargon). This objective will be achieved on June 30 at the latest.And the addition is particularly heavy for Greek banks, of course (30 billion euros), but also in Spain (26 billion) and Italy (14.8 billion). In France, the bill is estimated at 8.8 billion, Germany at 5.1 billion.

A new showdown promises

This total was largely anticipated by the market and the banks themselves. However, a new showdown between the industry and promises to the authorities. "We ask banks to recapitalize. Not to cut their balance sheets, "argued a senior Wednesday ahead of the summit. Number of facilities provided to achieve because much of the effort flopped the sails, that is to say, by limiting their activities consume the most capital. But Europe is concerned about the impact of these strategies on the distribution of credit, especially in the east where the industry is largely owned by groups of Western Europe.The Council of the Union has insisted on its vigilance on this point. And regulators have developed their doctrine accordingly. End of June 2012, they calculate the ratio of each bank according to its balance sheet at September 30, 2011 …. It is therefore too late to play on the variable of total assets. Only an increase in capital will reach the famous 9%.

Putting aside the benefits

To avoid making capital increases in market conditions given the state of detestable share price values ​​the industry or, worse, to use the state to bail out the banks who can n ' have only one option: to put their profits in reserve, probably in much higher proportions for use. This means that the shareholders of the banks concerned will receive little or no dividend next year.Politicians hide it just, that sacrifice is almost as an objective.

All has not been lost to the banks. The Council of the EU, the European Banking Authority, promised to lay the foundation for coordinated action to help them take on the market. The sovereign debt crisis cut investors' appetite for foreign bank debts. However, they will raise more than € 600 billion next year. The European Central Bank has opened the floodgates of funding up to a year. But it can do much more as the industry needs stable funding, so many years. Government guarantees could be implemented.

How to help her children buy a home? Faced with soaring prices of the stone, more and more parents are wondering. For young people without a little help family, buy a property is often difficult. But the stone is more than ever the key to any well-constructed assets.

A DONATION as a financing

With the recent reform of the taxation of wealth, each parent can give full tax-free, but every ten years now, up to € 159,325 (reduction in force in 2011) to each child or € 318,650 for a couple . And if the child is an adult, he took advantage of an additional allowance of 31 € .865 (per parent under 80 years), allowing it in the end, even in the capital, to acquire a lovely pied-a -land …A strategy that offers the advantage of not "inflate" its own property portfolio, since it is your child immediately becomes sole owner of the property. Thus, it can allow parents to avoid the wealth tax if the value of their taxable net wealth falls short of 1.3 million euros, or to play down if it does not exceed 3 million euros.

This approach has its drawbacks, however. "A coming of age, the child who has de facto full ownership, may sell at any time, even if the parents object," says Brillat Michel, director of engineering heritage of the EU Financial France. To "block any attempt inappropriate," Louis Aussedat, notary Althémis Network, advises the inclusion in the deed of gift, and in the deed of purchase, a prohibition to alienate.This provision makes the sale to the agreement of parents.

Know that it is still quite possible to do this for the benefit of a minor, but we must in this case the approval of the guardianship court. And while the child is under 18, the slot is part of global real estate portfolio of his parents, with possible consequences in terms of ISF.

To a lesser extent, if you own a home savings plan, you can send your borrowing rights to your child, provided that it is itself the holder of such a plan (open for at least 3 years) no faxing pay day loans.Finally, give money in advance and not a property which you would already own, you can be exempt from land registration fee (0.715%).

SEND ACHETERET in a SCI

Here is the real estate company (SCI) who acquires the home and not you and / or your children directly, thus, again, to fund and pass more easily again. Parents are partners and own the shares of the SCI. A major advantage of this legal structure is its flexibility. A condition of relying on a notary or a lawyer to draft the statutes (beginning approximately € 2,000), all management schemes, or nearly so, may indeed be calmly considered: full or bare ownership only given to children, in whole or in part, etc..Parents may reserve the role of manager to get their hands on the decisions and procedures to meet the requirements (general meeting …). "In this configuration, the children, even adults, can not sell without your consent," said Gilles Etienne, Partner at Cyrus Council. The SCI can also borrow, even if minor children are involved. Only requirement: well set, with the help of a professional, their responsibilities vis-à-vis the debt and obtain the consent of the judge. Finally, the very existence of an ICS is not limited in time and value, as the designation of heritage that can be managed, is not fixed.

Scellier Act: rent-to-child

Parents who buy a home with the benefit of the tax reduction under the law Scellier can rent the apartment to their children.A three conditions: it must be the principal residence of the latter, that it is detached from the tax home of the parents (it is then placed on its side), finally, that actually pays the rent.

Dressed all in black, on Wednesday before members of the Bundestag, the Chancellor was in mourning for his father, who died Saturday. But visibly relieved after the decision of the judges of the Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe, the German chancellor had a big smile and great days of fighting to defend the euro. Reinforcing the federal government, the wise rejected on Thursday a complaint filed by German economists and a Conservative MP. This confirms the principle of aid promised by Berlin to combat the crisis in the euro area. But in exchange the Court ordered the government to involve Parliament more.

After wearing his cap red and getting up to announce a decision solemnly waited feverishly throughout Europe, the President of the Court Vosskuhle Andreas has removed one by one the arguments of the plaintiffs Eurosceptics.Or using in Athens in spring 2010 or the creation of the European emergency EFSF "do not violate Article 38 (of the German Constitution) the right to vote", and "neither sovereignty nor the fiscal room for maneuver future parliaments "have been compromised, he said. Known for their warmth towards Europe, the sages have therefore lifted the sword of Damocles hanging over the center-right government of Angela Merkel.

Advocacy for the euro and Europe

However, the game is not yet won for the Chancellor, who must bring together parliamentarians from the majority behind the new rescue plans for the euro area. Monday night, during a test vote, twenty-five members of the ruling coalition in Germany refused to support his bill to expand the powers of the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF) which Germany has pledged more 200 billion euros.The rebel MPs are also opposed to new aid to Greece, they will also be asked to vote. Thanks to opposition voices, it was adopted by the Bundestag on September 29 is almost assured. But if his majority is lacking, the blow could be fatal to the coalition, Merkel could then be forced to call early parliamentary elections.

Thursday, Chancellor has therefore engaged in advocacy for the euro and Europe before the German MPs. "The Constitutional Court has absolutely confirmed" the path followed by Germany, it was welcomed. "We can not and will not let the failure of the euro," Merkel argued, reiterating that the future of Europe is at stake"If we are to avoid a major crisis in the western world (…), we need to fundamentally rethink everything," she said, adding that the accumulation of excessive debt for decades was the cause of the crisis. Marking the importance of the issue, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble had gone in person in early July in Karlsruhe on behalf of the government argue the legality of the aid granted. The judges' decision "does not change the fact that decisions are difficult," he acknowledged Thursday, "but the debate on their compliance with the Constitution is over."

The Constitutional Court has in fact pointed out the powers of the Bundestag, which will give the green light "case by case for any aid of great importance." The Court held that the government has "the obligation to obtain clearance prior" to the budget committee of the Bundestag before making any commitment.No way also for Berlin to ratify agreements on a "community debt especially if it is linked to consequences difficult to predict," warned the judges. The idea of ​​creating common European obligations or "Eurobond" seems to finally buried the Rhine.
