Without the mastery of numbers and salaries of civil servants, France can not stabilize, as it promised in Brussels on government spending until 2014. And for one simple reason: staff costs (salaries and fringe benefits) account for 31% of the state budget, excluding debt service charges and pensions.

The government is obviously aware of the issue. That is why the index point, which is the basis for calculating the remuneration of officials, will be frozen in 2012 after having been in 2011. In fact, every increase of 1% of item cost 900 million to the state. In addition, the non-replacement of staff on two retiring will continue, with the key to some 30,000 job cuts per year.Bercy hopes to reduce the state payroll, $ 82.7 billion in 2011 to 81,700,000,000 in 2013.

Too many bonuses repaid

This is not the opinion of the Court of Auditors. In a report published in the fall, the judges of the Rue Cambon noted that despite the job cuts, "payrolls increased an additional 1% annually in recent years." Worse, in 2009, staff costs were up 500 million that they were included in the original budget. In 2010, the slippage would be 532 million according to the report by Gilles Carrez, the UMP rapporteur of the budget to the Assembly on the last supplementary budget of 2010.Finally, to stabilize personnel costs, the Court therefore considers that a more bitter potion is needed, made of a gel point here until 2013 and included a strict framework of the "categorical returns, even their reduction after 2013 guaranteed approval cash loans.

It is here that things are fishing, according to the Court. Normally, the state must redistribute to officials 50% of savings from job cuts. Thus, in 2009, the 860 million of gains a "two" would generate 430 million due to the redistribution agents. "But the handover was in fact rather the order of 700 million in 2009," wrote the Court of Auditors. Some departments have been too generous, others, like the National Education should pay more overtime than expected."In 2010, the Department of Defense would have surrendered 63% savings, that 68.7% of the Economy and the Interior Ministry has spent more than it has saved," said one expert on the issue.

At Bercy, we challenged this analysis: "The Court includes in its calculations of the elements that are not" categorical return "but that emerge from our policy of individualisation of pay." It is estimated that the slippage of the payroll is due only one error in forecasting retirements. Fewer starts, it's more wages to pay and return categorical overrate. "The departures in 2010 were 12% lower than forecast. But in 2011, they are hasse, "says one at Bercy.Time will tell which of the Court of Auditors or the Government, is right …

The unions had already waved the threats late last March. They put their threats into effect, calling all employees hypermarket distribution group to strike on Saturday to protest against including salary increases for 2011, considered insufficient. The appeal, launched by the FGTA-FP, the majority union at Carrefour (with 40% representation), is supported by the CGT, CFDT and CGC.

In total, the 65,000 employees of the French distribution group are known not to work and show around the shops this Saturday, the day the traditional busy in hypermarkets. Early estimates labor, the movement is widely followed in more than 200 superstores supermarket group. Over thirty sites are completely blocked, workers blocking access to supermarkets.Even when they are not blocked, the strike rate range from 30% to 85% as estimated by Dejan Terglav, general secretary of the FO-FGTA reported in the AFP. When contacted, the management of Carrefour has not confirmed those numbers, always carrying an inventory of mobilization.

From yesterday, union officials expected a high rate of mobilization of employees in a group unaccustomed to large-scale social movements. An impression confirmed this morning. "It's a movement that looks quite memorable. It is widely followed, "said Franck Gaulin, Steward central CGT.Jean-Claude Mailly, secretary general of Force Ouvriere (FOR), is expected today at Le Mans to support the movement.

Insufficient wage increase

While management offers its employees a 1% increase in wages to March 1 and another 1% increase on 1 October, union officials estimate that these increases do not cover inflation announced by 2%. "It does in fact represents only 1% over the year," says a leaflet distributed by the FGTA-FO.Even the promise of recovery to 10% (against 7% previously) discounts on purchases of stores, and the announcement of the reopening of negotiations next Wednesday, will not suffice to bring back the union leaders on their decision.

Moreover, the malaise is becoming stronger on the side of employees on the deteriorating conditions of employment and new working methods since the arrival at the head of the group of Swedish Lars Olofsson, in January 2009.

Opposition to the plans of division

While President Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday expressed its willingness to link salaries to dividends, the unions could ask for more support for their speeches.For beyond wage increases claimed, employees believe that the demerger proposal by listing the subsidiary Dia hard discount and the 25% of Carrefour Property land would bring six billion euros to the two main shareholders, Bernard Arnault and Colony Capital (14% stake and 20% of voting rights between them).

In the words of Dejan Terglav, secretary general of the FGTA-FO, reported in Les Echos this Friday, the organization also wants the Mutual Fund Business (CIPF) 'vote against the division (during the next meeting June 21 di ed.) CIPF owns approximately 1.33% of the shares but the double voting rights "said the union leader. Bringing to nearly 4% the number of shareholders opposed the project, with the fund Knight Vinke (more than 1% of capital).But for now insufficient to meet a third of votes needed to derail the project.

Symbol of the Republic on the old five-franc pieces in silver, Hercules is back. But this time, the hero of Greek mythology appears in a stylized manner on new limited editions of the Paris Mint, representing the "brotherhood" that brings equality (his left) and "freedom." This April 8, the Monnaie de Paris launches two new pieces Hercules gold and silver, the respective denominations of 1,000 and 100 euros, from 10,000 to 50,000 copies.

Never before had struck the institution of such values ​​on the coins of precious metal. Since the advent of the euro on 1 January 2002, the Paris Mint had issued "only" 100 gold and 500 euros and 50 euros in cash.Where did the idea to stamp the parts of such value? "We realized that besides collectors, these prints seduced more and more individuals: they are sure of wool socks," says an official communication. Often, "the elderly offer these pieces to their grandchildren," she says.

Safe haven

Clearly, these pieces serve as safe havens, to hoard, at a time when the price of gold and silver are the highest. The yellow metal went through the roof these days, from April 7 the bar in 1467 dollars an ounce. The money, meanwhile, has never been higher, displayed more than 40 euros per ounce on 8 April, an increase of nearly 122% in one year.

What pushed the Paris Mint for optimism."These valuable coins [...] are in line with the old parts 20, 50 or 100 francs in money for years 1960, 1970 and 1980, but also Napoleons for which the French retain a special affection," says the institution in a statement. He added that his "little" news "should be a landmark in the history of money."

These new parts are available at the Monnaie de Paris (open to the opportunity this April 8 until midnight) or via its website, and from specialist dealers in numismatics. Some post offices will also distribute the money 100 euros.

That would set the palace Boulevard without the views of the courthouse in Paris or a woman without her honor police stations? Television and cinema are big consumers of scenery, and public places can provide many. However, until now, governments were very few or very poorly organized to meet demands.
Launched in 2007, the Agency Intangible Heritage of the State (FIPA) remedy, among other things, this deficiency. This structure is responsible for enhancing inter-owned assets and intangible quickly addressed the rental of certain buildings. "Barracks, prisons, hospitals and many other public places have a great interest film, recalls Claude Rubinowicz, CEO of FIPA.Demand is strong but it takes a real professional approach to this type of benefit. "

Thus, most jurisdictions now have a focal point for handling requests for filming. Many sites traditionally closed to this type of offer, such as ECOSOC or some sub-prefectures, took the opportunity to open up. To avoid mistakes, the agency has published guides that list the legal issues to resolve. It also has standard contracts and price indications. The game is worth the candle. The shooting day is priced from 300 euros for a simple, anonymous office until 5500 euros for a prestigious venue.According to the FIPA, most of these public sites are not used 40% of the time, which makes them easy to rent and the income from these shootings are completely retained by the authority which manages the site. The sumptuous Farnese Palace in Rome, the headquarters of the Embassy of France, for example, has removed 146,000 euros to rent a house for eight days shooting the latest film by Nanni Moretti with Michel Piccoli, whose output is planned for September . The check in question has fully fund an exhibition on site.

In 2010, public spaces have hosted some 150 shootings, including 51 on sites managed by the Department of Justice (courts and prisons in particular) when they were sporadic until then. As the Department of Defense, which has the largest property portfolio in France, it should also draw growing profits from its bases, barracks and grounds.In total, in 2010, filming for the state have generated 2 million euros of revenues paid to the government. What encourage new vocations of moviegoers in the public service.

This is a new thorn in the fund Colony Capital and Groupe Arnault, all holders of 14% stake and 20% of the voting rights of Carrefour. According to statements by Herve Defforey, a son of the co-founder of Carrefour, the Tribune this morning, he either would not vote for the demerger proposal proposed by the two shareholders at the next general meeting of June 21 "I'm just a shareholder in Carrefour. But I will vote no, "said Hervé Defforey daily. The fund Knight Vinke (1% of capital) had launched the hostilities in the first announcing its opposition to the project and has been trying to rally up to shareholders to his cause.

While the split in July 2010 with the activities of Accor IPO Edenred, his former branch in tickets and restaurant gift had convinced investors that Carrefour raises many more debates.The proposed restructuring of the retail giant is to introduce financial markets on the one hand, 25% of Carrefour Property, which houses its land assets, and secondly the entire share capital of its Dia (hard discount) .

To support the relevance of their project, the Carrefour group on Friday put a strong argument, namely the potential interest of private equity funds for Dia. According to the confidences of sources familiar with the matter told AFP, these funds could provide at least 3 billion euros for the hard discount subsidiary. Pending confirmation of a possible takeover, the soap Crossroads should not stop there, and new twists are not to be excluded before the next general meeting of the supermarket group.

Both parties actively campaigning

"To be approved at the General Assembly special projects division of Carrefour must obtain two-thirds vote of members present or represented," the newspaper said. Forcing the two shareholders to put their side of the maximum possible shareholders, focusing on the strategic value of their projects, many still doubt. On the other hand, the low participation of Knight Vinke fund forced him to campaign actively to achieve the 32% needed to block the project.

Depending on the participation of shareholders (present or represented) at the next general meeting, the votes that he should be convinced therefore vary between 15 and 25%, the Tribune analysis.But whatever the outcome, the high mass of the shareholders of Carrefour already figure among the hot issues to watch, when the big dance starts annual general meetings.

Wen Jiabao's speech at China's parliament on Saturday took on the appearance of mea culpa. Chinese Premier, speaking at the 3000 delegates to the NPC, met for ten days in Beijing, acknowledged that the price increase was the source of calls for protests that flourished in the country. "We need to consider price stability as the priority of our macro-economic control," he said.

During the inaugural session of the annual meeting of the National People's Congress, Prime Minister described the inflationary expectations of "problems which are closely the standard of living of the population, the overall situation and stability of the country." Rising consumer prices rose 4.9% in January over a year.The government promises to reduce it to "4%" this year.

Always fight against inflation, the Chinese authorities want to implement "a prudent monetary policy," which will require the limitation to 16% of the increase in money supply M2, which includes the aggregate of currency in circulation, accounts demand deposits and savings accounts.

Avoid the shock wave

Even if the Prime Minister made no reference to the popular liberation movements that are shaking the Arab world, his speech illustrated the authorities' concern to avoid any risk of spread to China. "Some issues that are subject to strong reactions among the population have not been resolved completely.Food security is poor and some sectors are vulnerable to corruption "he acknowledged.

To fight against these problems, the government would "continue to pursue a policy stimulus. Efforts will focus on "rural development", "improving the level of the population" and developing "social sectors".

According to this discourse that determines the main directions for the country's official year, "the educational resources and lack of quality medical and their distribution is uneven." Moreover, "the property prices have recorded an excessive increase in some cities," said Wen Jiabao, who promises to develop social housing."Social contradictions raised by the illegal requisition of land and demolition of illegal houses have multiplied," he added.

Target of 8% growth

These investments will be in a GDP growth of around 8% this year and an annual increase of around 7% over the next five years. These figures, which marked a slowdown from the 11.2% GDP growth recorded during the last five years had already been discussed by Wen Jiabao in late February at the Forum on China Internet.

Despite continued efforts to invest, the government wants to reduce the budget deficit will be contained in "about 2% of GDP".

Warning against the challenge

When the Prime Minister recognized the inequality at the source of disputes, an editorial published by the Beijing Daily, official newspaper of the Communist administration, launched a warning against the calls for protest. "Everyone knows that stability is a blessing and a curse chaos," said the newspaper stating that the "disorder" that has shaken the Arab world "has led to a massive disaster for the peoples of these countries." "It is worth noting here or abroad, some individuals feeding on ulterior motives trying to trigger chaos in China, using the Internet to foment illegal gatherings," it said.Following an appeal to all Chinese citizens so that they "conscientiously protect the harmony and stability".

In recent weeks, dozens of Chinese dissidents have been arrested and police have threatened to deprive alongside dozens of visas to foreign journalists if they continue to cover "illegally" appeals from sites based abroad.
