Patrick de Carolis, the outgoing president, had promised to let a house to the square. Despite his best efforts, it is far from having completed the reorganization of France Televisions over the past two years.

Pflimlin Remy, who succeeded him on Aug. 23, has no time to lose as many sensitive issues lie ahead. The new CEO will have to pay, by the fall, the problem of financing of France Televisions. The law provides that advertising screens on the same day of the public channels is halted in November 2011. But many UMP deputies, led by Jean-Francois Cope, argue instead for continued advertising. This would prevent the State to provide 350 million euros in compensation payday loan.In the coming weeks, the new president must deal with these parliamentarians, the President of the Republic who do not wish to give up too quickly for his original project and the competing private channels which require that the law is enforced. If the new CEO gets to keep advertising during the day, it preserves a certain financial autonomy and be less subject to the vagaries of state budget. But behind the advertising file, it opens the privatization of France Televisions governed Advertising. He must choose between following Patrick de Carolis and bury the project, or restart the privatization process.

THE SOCIAL

The Head of State has decided on during a meeting just one hour with Prime Minister François Fillon and Labour Minister, Eric Woerth, in charge of the pension. This choice seems to reflect a message of reform on the horizon is "only" set at 2020, while the government did not exclude at the outset to give purpose to sustain the pension until 2030. But energetic measures will be implemented to ensure that indeed the financial balance before.It will then be possible to consider a further postponement of the age, the hardest doubtless having been made by blowing up the taboo of 60 years.

Tax rate raised to the "easier"

Nicolas Sarkozy has also officiated the form that would take the contribution of the "easier" to reform: a contribution equivalent to 1% additional tax on income for households at the upper end, whose marginal rate is 40 % (about 342,000 tax households affected, reporting more than 69,783 euros per share). The 1% levy will not be entitled to refund under the tax shield if it results in a total tax (income tax + local + tax + social security contributions … TFR) of over 50% of income.In addition, the withholding tax on capital gains from securities sales will be increased, perhaps around 1%.

A source familiar with the matter said last that the rate of salary pension contribution (7.85%) would be raised gradually to all staff to reach gradually the private sector employees (10.55%). In addition, prospective employees may have their pensions calculated on the best 25-year career, instead of six months. These elements were however not confirmed in the late evening.

A bill to be finalized by Friday midnight

These measures, which will be officially unveiled this morning, will now be subject to the unions and employers. The government gave two days to possibly drop a little ground, then he will write the final version of his bill before Friday midnight.The text should indeed be forwarded before the deadline for authorities to be consulted (Councils of the three public, boards of directors of social security funds). Otherwise, the whole of his schedule to be called into question: the text could then be presented to the Cabinet on July 13 and is discussed in committee in the Assembly during the week of July 19, before arriving in the Chamber in September.
