			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> &quot;There will be a reasonable evolutionary vision. By this sentence while caution Eric Woerth summarized what would be the attitude of the government on pension reform next week. </p>
<p> The text will be considered at the Assembly from Tuesday, when all the unions call a strike and demonstrate. &quot;There will be many people in the street&quot; without that &quot;France would not France, already primed by the Minister of Labour, on Thursday, before the Association of business and financial journalists. No way to change &quot;fundamentally&quot; the bill after that day, but the government &quot;will file amendments.</p>
<p> The game continues on balancing the grant &quot;most important&quot; requested by Wednesday François Chérèque (CFDT): 2018 reject the decision to raise from 65 to 67 years the age at which anyone can receive a full pension even without having contributed all his quarters. As it stands, the government draft plans to implement this measure in stages starting in July 2016 (ie, for all those born from July 1951) <a href="http://us-no-fax-payday-loans.com">No fax payday loans</a><!-- . -->. </p>
<p> Possible additional measures on the arduous </p>
<p> &quot;It&#39;s very important that there be two terminals of age,&quot; argues the Minister of Labour, for whom it would be &quot;unfair&quot; that people with long and often deliberately interrupted their careers &#8211; housewives, for example &#8211; able from the same age as the others (60, 62 in 2018) without financial penalty.However, &quot;I do not think everything is locked. Eric Woerth temporizes also possible additional measures to take account of hardship: &quot;You can probably go a little further, it is unresolved. We allow a maximum time. &quot; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> More than a month after the fiasco of the France team in South Africa, the French professional football is definitely getting worse. While professional football league (LFP) expected at worst to a deficit of 150 million euros, the National Monitoring Directorate Management (DNCG) has recently established its report on the finances of French professional clubs. And the finding is instructive: their accumulated loss stood at 180 million euros for the 2009-2010 season, including 140 million for the Ligue 1 clubs. Record. The precedent dating from the 2002-2003 season with a deficit of 167 million. </p>
<p> And yet, the French professional clubs we were accustomed to much better in recent years. &quot;This deficit is due more to a sharp decline in revenue related to shipments by a sharp increase in spending that we had already seen last year,&quot; said Vincent warmShe expert sports Ineum Consulting.Today, the situation is simple, both for small than for large clubs: he must sell players first and then build his team. This is far from easy. Why? </p>
<p> Spanish and English clubs are more buyers </p>
<p> Their main &quot;clients&quot;, English and Spanish clubs, bear the brunt of the economic crisis and could not like each year to buy the best French players. And unlike like the French clubs do not hesitate to buy great players, the calculation is done quickly. &quot;This deficit is a matter of timing. French football is constantly lagging behind the economic cycle.The French clubs have spent much of last year through the renegotiation of TV contracts in 2006, and the establishment of the right to collective image (which exempts a portion of payroll taxes to pay athletes, can not exceed 30% of the total, Ed), whose clubs n (were really benefit in 2009, &quot;said Vincent warmShe. </p>
<p> Although we are far from 800 million euros of debt the English club Chelsea in January erased by its Russian owner Roman Abramovich. But the fact that this ad is not necessarily good news when we know that UEFA is planning to launch its draft financial fair play in UEFA&#39;s two years at the initiative of &#8230; France. Thus, from the 2012-2013 season, clubs will no longer spend more than they earn.Again, the French clubs are not the worst placed in terms of expenditure, but in terms of income, they are far from being the first &#8230; </p>
<p> If one were to summarize the 2010 summer transfer window, we would call dull. Like any economic activity, football suffers from the crisis. Marseille and Lyon have already purchased a lot last year and Paris and Bordeaux have had a sporting season 2009-2010 more than complicated. Thus, the OM has bought Andre-Pierre Gignac and Loic Remy because they sold Mamadou Niang (at Turkish club Fenerbahce) and lent Hatem Ben Arfa (at English club Newcastle). </p>
<p> Aulas has made &quot;a little fun&quot; </p>
<p> What about Lyon? Until the &quot;little pleasure&quot; that became Jean-Michel Aulas, the Lyon president of purchasing Yoann Gourcuff for $ 22 million last Tuesday, the club Lyon had previously spent only 6 million euros with the former Rennes Jimmy Briand.Far from 82 million spent a year earlier. &quot;Unlike the big Italian clubs, English or Spanish, French clubs can not afford a repeat of&quot; such &quot;transfer window several times. The DNCG requires them to control their spending. And when the crisis gets involved &#8230; &quot;Says one expert. </p>
<p> Last year like this year, Lyon as Marseille have sold less and less purchased. But the fact remains the same: they have spent more than sold. The OL has purchased $ 28 million and sold for 3 million in summer 2010 transfer window (82 million against 45.5 million in the transfer window in 2009). For the OM, the losses amount to 13 million euros in the summer 2010 transfer window (about 23 million euros in the transfer window in 2009). For their part, had to sell Gourcuff Bordeaux to balance its accounts and finally Paris Saint Germain all the trouble to sell his &quot;big bucks&quot; to be able to buy a defender. The crisis affects everyone.Relatively speaking &#8230; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> FINANCE </p>
<p> 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. </p>
<p> 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 <a href="http://paydayloans-on.com">payday loan</a><!-- . -->.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. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> In an essay published last April 15 to Eyrolles, Mary Visot, editor in charge of the government&#39;s economic policy at the Figaro, in an educational analysis of the upheavals caused by the economic crisis on the relationship between state and business. </p>
<p> Putting into perspective the level of government intervention resulting from the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the ensuing crisis, the author recalls that during the French economic history, it is &quot;what happened who chaired the degree of state intervention in the economic sphere, rather than the color of government policy in place. &quot; From the planning of post-war to regain control of capitalism in 1981, periods during which the state has invested heavily in the economy are not unusual, said Mary Visot.</p>
<p> Still, the public interventions in 2008 and 2009, have influenced, the circumstances require, the balance of power between the state and enterprises. The bank rescue, aid to the automobile sector, have included more control over legitimate businesses, including the convening of Carlos Ghosn at the Elysee Palace on the production of the Clio in Turkey is an example. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The trials of Bernard Tapie judicial ended. Charged with the raising accounts of two of his companies, Groupe Bernard Tapie (GBT) and Bernard Tapie Finance Real Estate Federation (FIBT), who were insolvent, Bernard Tapie has been released by the Paris Criminal Court on Friday . What the prosecution had requested in February. </p>
<p> &quot;This release was expected in fifteen years. The court held that it would never have been there and there would never have to be a liquidation, welcomed Mr. Maurice Lantourne, attorney Bernard Tapie. </p>
<p> His other lawyer, Herve T?mime, even says that Bernard Tapie, &quot;has been a settling of political scores and this case was for him a brake on business and politics.&quot; According to him, this release is primarily a &quot;rehabilitation with accountability&quot; of Credit Lyonnais.In 2008, the Consortium for implementation (CDR), a public body responsible for settling the liabilities of the bank, accused of having swindled Bernard Tapie in the resale of sports equipment manufacturer Adidas, has been ordered to pay 285 million euros the former minister. </p>
<p> Settle his accounts with the law </p>
<p> Bernard Tapie has always claimed that his two companies have not been bankrupt, had he not been swindled by Credit Lyonnais in connection with the sale of Adidas. His lawyers had argued that &quot;the offense of bankruptcy is no longer possible&quot;, since &quot;the first element&quot; essential to a bankruptcy, ie liquidation or judicial relief, no longer exists. </p>
<p> The FIBT owned industrial heritage and financial Bernard Tapie and GBT wore his personal assets. The two holding companies were declared bankrupt in 1994.A winding canceled December 7, 2009 by the Paris Criminal Court. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Meeting this week in Cannes to show the real estate professionals around the world were rather optimistic, anticipating economic recovery, after having faced the most serious crisis the industry since the mid 90s. </p>
<p> The total investment in real estate business in 56 major countries is expected to jump 30% to 478 billion dollars (362 billion euros) this year compared to 2009, low point of the crisis, after a dive 23% in one year, according to a study by Cushman &amp; Wakefield Council. Including a forecast bolstered by the outcome of the Director General of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who said Wednesday that global economic recovery was &quot;better than expected, with 4% projected growth this year after a recession in 2009.</p>
<p> But &quot;if the economies of Europe, Middle East and Africa emerging from recession, economic recovery will not be uniform in these regions, warns a study by Jones Lang LaSalle board. However, with the hope of restarting the economy, coupled with the attitude of banks willing to finance new projects demonstrating good profitability, the construction sector seems to go back <a href="http://payday-badcredit.com">online payday advance</a> !!!???!! !???!!!. </p>
<p> A tower of 37 floors of Defense </p>
<p> The French bank Societe Generale has thus acquired the rights to build a tower of 180 meters and 37 floors in La Defense, the largest European business district, located in the northwestern suburbs of Paris.&quot;This is a strong indicator of release of the housing crisis&quot;, said to AFP Philippe Chaix, Director General of EPAD, public planning of Defense. </p>
<p> The same optimism prevails as well in Montreal, on the North American continent, to Barcelona in Spain, yet one of the countries most affected by the crisis although it was most struck residential property. </p>
<p> The 21st International Market Professionals Real Estate (MIPIM) in Cannes hosted 18,000 participants (exhibitors and visitors), from 78 countries, the same number as in 2009 but down 36% compared to 2008, according Nadine Castagna, Director of MIPIM. To confirm whether the recovery is quite the appointment in 2010, professionals will meet from November 10 to 12 at MIPIM Asia in Hong Kong. </p>
