			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> More than a year after the introduction of laws, taxes and recommendations on the payment of bonuses in the banks raises the question of their effectiveness. The Institute of International Finance (IIF) has taken the lead by establishing the Oliver Wyman care to conduct a study on the changing structure of wages among 37 international banks. </p>
<p> Unsurprisingly, the study demonstrates the virtuous direction of the profession.&quot;Many banks have made significant and necessary changes in their payment system by adopting policies and practices in line with those advocated by the G20,&quot; said Josef Ackermann, the institute&#39;s chairman and CEO of Deutsche Bank, the first German bank. </p>
<p> Supporting Evidence: On the sensitive issue of deferred compensation &#8211; and therefore conditioned to sustainable profitability, which is one of the most effective, as the G20, to empower market participants &#8211; banks surveyed show their progress. In one year, the deferred bonus share has doubled to 39% of the total. The payment of these bonuses is not delayed a few months but three years or more in 85% of cases. Over two thirds of these variable compensation being paid in shares or securities linked. Bonuses are guaranteed over the wind in its sails.And the few new recruits who still get this behalf should be satisfied with a one year warranty. </p>
<p> Failure of British tax </p>
<p> &quot;Governance has also changed significantly, says Bruno de Saint-Florent, a partner at Oliver Wyman. In 2009, the frequency of meetings has increased by 50% compared to 2008. The involvement of teams of risk in these compensation process has become even less systematically, this year (98% of banks). A year earlier, they would intervene only in 46% of cases. &quot; </p>
<p> The IIR judge this too brief consideration of the concept of risk in awarding fees. The institute recommends a longer-term and more refined, along the lines of business. Experts also point out that banks are still too timid in their information.Less than half of respondents have ventured this year to disclose the amount of bonuses distributed. </p>
<p> Despite these criticisms, the realization of the IIR is very encouraging, but the optimism of the institute does not yet unanimously. One of the main architects of the reforms of finance, the former British Minister Alistair Darling, told this week that the British tax on the bonus had no effect on the industry. This 50% tax on bonuses exceeding 25,000 pounds, expired in April. Fatalist, Darling believes that the bankers are in any way &quot;too imaginative not to find all sorts of ways to not pay.&quot; The behavior of Credit Suisse agrees with him. The bank, which had decreased its bonuses in 2009, has just overtaken the tax expired, distributing exceptional bonuses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> What are the main principles of pension reform that will defend from 7 September to the National Assembly? </p>
<p> This reform is reasonable, fair, progressive and effective. It has three main points: a new age of retirement, taking into account the hardship for the first time in France, and a reconciliation between the public and private sectors. Increase to 62 the legal age of retirement is to hold an age of reason, drawing conclusions from the fact that we live longer. Simply increasing the contribution period was rather unreasonable: we should bring to 47 the contribution period to balance the system. By raising the bar to 62 years in 2018, we will remove the pension deficit at that date and until 2020.Afterwards he will talk again, this is normal. </p>
<p> Amendments will be tabled during the parliamentary debate to improve the consideration of the strain at work. What do they consist? </p>
<p> France is the first country to do so the link between pensions and arduous. In the current state of reform, an employee with a disability rating of 20% will retain the right to retire at age 60. I have long listened to the unions and specialists in this question. We need to look if you can better respond to situations of &quot;arduous delayed effect &#39;, that is to say, the case of employees who have had a very exhausting life, but are not medically verifiable when they are retiring. We are also looking at improving the prevention, because the first response to the hardship is to avoid being exposed.We must go further on this issue and improve the traceability of exposure to proven situations of difficulty. We are also considering the organization of occupational medicine for it plays a more important role in this field. </p>
<p> You&#39;re not afraid to create a new gas plant? </p>
<p> We will do everything to avoid it as too complex creates injustice. The common law, it will be 62 in 2018. Devices to keep the retirement age to 60 will be fair and operational. About 700,000 people retiring each year, 100,000 will retain the right to leave at 60 when our reform passed through the devices&#39; hardship &#39;and&#39; long careers. </p>
<p> Do you lower the threshold of 20% disability rate for the consideration of the hardship? </p>
<p> I think that this threshold is realistic.</p>
<p> And for polypensionnés, what do you do? </p>
<p> 40% of employees who liquidate their retirement have contributed to several schemes. It is a question more complex than it seems. Some polypensionnés have interest to be because they have such validate more than four quarters per year. We are looking for greater consistency between pension plans, but we want to look at the issue from both sides: the losers of the current system, but also its winners. </p>
<p> When do you intend to publish these amendments? </p>
<p> Nothing is off but probably in the days following the opening of the debate at the meeting. Besides, by then I continue my consultations with Georges Tron. </p>
<p> Bernard Thibault began to worry that the debate on pensions is overshadowed by these cases. Do you see an attack against you? </p>
<p> No.I welcome the attitude of unions who have not howled with the wolves and do not participate in the hunt for the man I&#39;m costs. Bernard Thibault do regret that the controversy overshadowed the debate on the merits of the reform. I think this results from the Socialist Party will do everything to avoid talking about a subject that divides them: the pensions. </p>
<p> Do you fear the mobilization of Sept. 7? </p>
<p> A significant reform, significant mobilization. But the French know that they live longer, it makes sense to share the extra time between work and retirement. </p>
<p> Are you afraid of being targeted by demonstrators on September 7? </p>
<p> That there are banners in my name or my image, I expect, since the opposition instrumentalist my name to caricature the debate on pensions.</p>
<p> Do you remain Minister of Labour after the pension reform or after the redesign? </p>
<p> I will do what the president wants me to do. But I feel very good in this department where I still have many projects to bear. </p>
<p> Which? </p>
<p> Once the pension law passed, we will undertake consultations on the reform of dependence. With Nora Berra we have made great progress on technical solutions but it is still too early to prejudge the financial terms of this reform. I intend, moreover, to resume with Nadine Morano the issue of inequality between men and women who did not sufficiently advanced, despite the many laws passed during the last fifteen years. I will also work on the topic of workplace violence. I have not forgotten the policy of the city.We need to support experiments in a pool of fifty jobs with Fadela Amara. </p>
<p> &quot;Segolene Royal is poorly placed to give me a moral lesson&quot; </p>
<p> Do you fear one day be referred to the Court of Justice of the Republic about the case Bettencourt? </p>
<p> I am very serene. I have nothing to reproach myself in this case, I am guilty of any conflict of interest and have already had occasion to explain in detail each of the charges which I have been . </p>
<p> Why then the Attorney General of the Court of Appeal considered there this solution? </p>
<p> I have not read that he was considering! He simply, if I understand correctly, responded to a letter which was sent. It examines the issues that are submitted before a decision is his role. I did not comment.However, I can only wonder at the letter sent by Corinne Lepage, who is a political process. I see that right now many are looking to be taking me as a scapegoat. But it&#39;s still a shame to receive lessons in morality from someone like her! What was her husband when she was Minister of the Environment? Do not he headed a law firm, specifically in the environment? </p>
<p> You speak of &quot;stoning political&quot; about you. Who are you targeting? </p>
<p> When I hear Ségolène Royal to denounce France 2 20 hours of the &quot;billionaires of the UMP,&quot; I say we&#39;re living in delirium. The &quot;billionaires UMP&quot; as she says, have given a maximum of 7,500 euros, transparently, under control of the commission of the campaign accounts, in strict compliance with the rules of financing of political life.And at the same time, Ms. Royal is funded by Pierre Bergé. She was sentenced by the court for the conditions under which it has paid two former collaborators, is poorly placed to give me a moral lesson. I have nothing to reproach myself, and I am sure that the judicial process, whatever the judge, will prove it. </p>
<p> Aim to highlight you still not back so weakened that? </p>
<p> It seeks to weaken me! But I do not feel at all weakened. Throughout the summer there has been a little game of trying to prove so-called affairs on my municipal campaign, the sale of land at Compiegne &#8230; Every time, everything has deflated half a day. An accumulation of rumors and slander is not a truth. What sites are seeking to do business commercial on my back does not make me guilty.</p>
<p> Your absence from the meeting Brégançon around the head of state, last week, is it not a denial? </p>
<p> The meeting focused on fiscal deficits and budget preparation. I just remember that I am no longer Minister of Budget. Therefore my presence was not normal. </p>
<p> A new request for a hearing she will soon be presented to the Cabinet? </p>
<p> I have no idea. Again, all this, they are rumors spread by some newspapers or sites. I believe in freedom of the press, but I do not believe in freedom to slander. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The fall is twice larger than expected. Sales of existing homes in the United States have unscrewed from 27.2% in July compared to June, according to figures released Tuesday by the National Association of Realtors (NAR). A statistic which agrees with the economists providing a relapse of the U.S. economy. </p>
<p> Sales of existing properties and have hit a 15-year low in July. The June sales have they been revised downward to 5.26 million units, against 5.37 previously. </p>
<p> These figures are certainly worse than expected catastrophic but are not a total surprise. They indeed correspond to the decision of the tax credit established by the Federal Government to support sales. &quot;Citizens are very rationally rushed on the market before the expiry of the measure in May,&quot; says Laurence Yun, chief economist of the NAR.&quot;Since that date, signature of contracts of sale were far less numerous. Expect a break until late September. &quot;Other economists expect a further slide in sales volumes until 2011. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Radio Silence. Since the leaks to the press last July that Sanofi-Aventis has made an initial offer of $ 69 per share or 18.4 billion dollars, the pharmaceutical company and the American biotechnology company, Genzyme, have decided to no longer communicate on the subject. On the occasion of the publication of the results of the group in late July, the CEO of Sanofi-Aventis, Chris Viehbacher, confirmed to Le Figaro that the group will continue its acquisition policy. &quot;We will continue to make acquisitions. We work on small and medium-sized operations. Small can be up to 5 billion dollars. The averages may reach twenty billion dollars. However, we do not want mega-mergers. &quot;. </p>
<p> Between $ 75 and $ 80 </p>
<p> A silence that analysts interpret as the beginning of discussions between the two parties.And, according to The Wall Street Journal, these negotiations have started badly. While Sanofi encamp on his positions, namely an initial offer of 69 dollars per share, the leaders of Genzyme seller would not be below 80 dollars. &quot;I do not see Sanofi pay more than $ 80. However, the shareholders present capital of Genzyme &#8211; Relational and Carl Icahn &#8211; will not accept offers of less than 75 dollars, &quot;said Hervé Manign, specializing in mergers and acquisitions. If Sanofi-Aventis declined to specify the amount of the envelope before it, the analysts amounting around 20 billion euros. The group comes easily to renegotiate a credit line of $ 7 billion to 2015. </p>
<p> &quot;Sanofi is not obliged to do this operation&quot; </p>
<p> If both parties wish that the discussions continue, they must s&#39;entendrent on the initial offer.&quot;Genzyme is a very tempting prey for Sanofi, because it would allow him to catch up on organic products, which have the advantage of being more difficult to generics, said Herve Mangin. But Sanofi is not obliged to do this. On the one hand, an acquisition too expensive tarnish the good investments made by Chris Viehbacher since his arrival at the head of the group. On the other hand, it would force the group to increase its capital, which would reduce the value of the transaction. </p>
<p> A month ago, Sanofi-Aventis published in the second quarter sales up 4.6% to 7.8 billion euros, but down 1.2% at constant exchange rates. Net income from operations rose 7.6% to 2.5 billion (+4.5% at constant exchange rates).If the activity is driven by emerging markets (+19.4% organic growth for the half year), sales in Europe and the United States will continue to decline with further loss of patents, but after 2013 the group remains confident with the launch of new products. Sanofi-Aventis development Jevtana particularly in the treatment of prostate cancer has just been approved in the United States, and iniparib (BS1201) in the treatment of breast cancer. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> ArcelorMittal blows hot and cold. The steelmaker displays uninviting outlook for the third quarter, but he nevertheless kept his goals in the second quarter. </p>
<p> ArcelorMittal plans a third quarter slowed, with lower operating performance. The group on a table and a gross operating surplus (EBITDA) of between 2.1 and 2.5 billion dollars. ArcelorMittal explains that the period will be marked &quot;by a combination of seasonal factors and the effects of economic slowdown in China.&quot; The goal of a 10% increase in global demand in 2010, described by the group earlier this year, now seems difficult to achieve.On the other hand, the group&#39;s factories, which have operated in the second quarter to 78% of capacity against 80% expected in late April, are expected to slow to about 70%. </p>
<p> Long awaited on the subject, ArcelorMittal also said: &quot;For the second half of the year, the challenge will be to pass all cost increases to our customers.&quot; </p>
<p> More encouragingly, the world&#39;s largest steelmaker has managed to keep its goals in the second quarter. The steelmaker has unveiled an operating surplus in line with expectations at $ 3 billion after an increase of 150% compared to last year. The net continues, as expected, grow, and was 1.7 billion dollars against a loss of 792 million last year. &quot;The improved second-quarter performance is consistent with our expectations and reflects the continuation of the slow and gradual recovery,&quot; said Officer.</p>
<p> An independent company for the stainless activities under study </p>
<p> Turnover was slightly below expectations at 21.65 billion dollars against 23.1 billion expected by the consensus of analysts. </p>
<p> Finally, ArcelorMittal said currently evaluating the possibility of creating a separate company (spin-off) of its stainless steel business. &quot;We have confidence in the future of the stainless steel business and believe that creating a separate company will create further added value for all shareholders,&quot; said the group. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> A little respite on Friday in Asian markets. After more than five consecutive days of decline, the most important place on the continent Asia-Pacific represents a reversal of trend. The Nikkei started Friday&#39;s session up 0.47% earning 43 points to 9234 points. An advance that the Tokyo market has struggled to keep since mid-session, the majority of gains were erased. </p>
<p> In contrast, Hong Kong, the trend is clearly down because the benchmark Hang Seng yield 1.38%. In Australia, the Sydney Stock Exchange ahead slightly (+0.1%). </p>
<p> The mining stocks rose </p>
<p> In Tokyo, the market is mainly guided by higher mining shares following the downward revision of tax on the profits of these companies decided by the Australian government. This has encouraged new JX Holdings Inc., an oil refiner and producer of copper jumped 3.5%.Inpex, oil explorer, rose 3.2%. Komatsu, the largest manufacturer of earthmoving Asia, gaining 1.5%. </p>
<p> In contrast, the values are auto oriented down significantly, especially for Honda (-1.89%) and Toyota (-2.27%), after the monthly statistics considered disappointing sales in the United States. </p>
<p> Evolution contrast to oil </p>
<p> On the oil market, crude prices were mixed in electronic trading. In morning trading, a barrel of light sweet crude for August delivery gained 18 cents to 73.13 dollars a barrel, while Brent North Sea for delivery in August, yielding six cents to 72.28 dollars. Oil prices fell Thursday in New York on a market worried that sent the barrel under $ 73.</p>
<p> Volatility remains high on the market </p>
<p> Investors remain nervous about the possibility that the slower recovery of the global economy becomes more pronounced. On Friday afternoon will be known monthly unemployment statistics in the United States before the opening of Wall Street. They could reflect a deterioration of the labor market for the first time since December, according to economists. </p>
<p> The indicators Thursday were accentuated anxieties of investors. The ISM index of activity in the manufacturing sector declined more than expected to 56.2%. On the front real estate, the promise of selling homes fell more than expected in May (-30%). In China also, the two indices of purchasing managers showed a slowdown in manufacturing activity in June </p>
