			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>• On the principle of austerity plan
<p> To: &quot;Rigorous, that means we are trying simply not to spend more than we earn, defended Gilles Carrez (UMP), General Rapporteur of the budget to the National Assembly. This is still the least serious. It&#39;s been 35 years since we spend more than you win. &quot; </p>
<p> Cons: Attention Cycle &quot;infernal restraint, lower growth,&quot; warned the Socialist Michel Sapin, close to François Hollande.(&#8230;) Must be avoided that there is more possibility of moonlighting. &quot; </p>
<p> More broadly, the self-entrepreneurs fear that their services are subject to VAT, which would increase the cost to the customer and complicate their efforts. &quot;If the specific regime of VAT on maintenance, repairs had to be increased from 5.5% to 7% to meet the economic challenges in Europe and that of the euro&quot;, the Union of self entrepreneurs ( UAE). </p>
<p> • Taxing more large companies
<p> To: The boss of bosses Laurence Parisot is not opposed to the principle: &quot;It is possible to consider things temporary, exceptional measures, time adjustments. But we must not imagine a device that would be sustainable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> In Athens </p>
<p> &quot;Greece is entering a new era,&quot; commented George Papandreou during his press conference in Brussels. The Greek prime minister did not hide his relief in a speech to the nation on Thursday night. Greece was saved at the default. Among the measures adopted at European summits include the release of a new tranche of 100 billion euros and the deletion of 50% Greek debt, &quot;voluntarily&quot; from the private creditors (banks, insurers &#8230;). This debt and return to 260 billion euros, its level of 2009. The ambitious program of privatization has also been revised downwards. The objective is to privatize up to 30 billion euros by 2020 instead of 50 billion euros for 2015.</p>
<p> &quot;It will not delay to send us these details,&quot; claims Vaggelis Haratsis, CEO of the company financial management Ahepef Beta. Holding a lot of Greek debt, local banks will be hit hard by the discount will be recapitalized and 30 billion to cash in shock <a href="http://paydayloans-on.com">payday loans no teletrack</a><!-- . -->. This will involve probably the injection of public capital. &quot;If the banks really are nationalized, it will be the key for several years. In the end, they pay the inability to manage the crisis by politicians, &quot;said Vaggelis Haratsis. </p>
<p> In return for aid to Brussels, Greece has to accept an austerity to 2020 and ongoing monitoring of representatives of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. Experts to settle in the country to monitor progress with reform and adjust if necessary.Only in this way we can avoid recession and reducing unemployment is at 17%. &quot; It will also quickly overcome the social discontent, motivate the Greeks to return to work, to stop the strikes and occupations of government departments, and not to cheat on their taxes. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The fear of a slowing Chinese economy weigh on Asian stock markets. On Tuesday, the day after a session, however encouraging, the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong and Shanghai Composite Index unleash respectively 3.52% and 1.52 points to 18,209.70% to 2403.32 points. Investors react to the publication of a slowdown in Chinese growth to 9.1% in the third quarter, against 9.7% and 9.5% in the first and second quarters.After this bad figure, other regional financial centers are also displayed down: the Nikkei of the Tokyo Stock Exchange lost 1.55% to 8741.91 points, the Kospi index in Seoul fell by 1.51% to 1837.01 points, the S &amp; P / ASX 200 Index yields 2.07% at Sydney 4186.90 points, the BSE Sensex 30 in Mumbai plaice 1.73% to 16,730.10 points and the FTSE Straits Times of Singapore gives up 1.81% to 2728 , 55 points. </p>
<p> &quot;Economic growth is currently facing a more complicated on both external and internal plans,&quot; said the spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Sheng Laiyun commenting on the growth of China. In fact, Chinese exporters are beginning to suffer from particular sovereign debt crisis in Europe, their largest market, a difficult economic situation in the United States.The Chinese economy is also impacted by rising wages and strong yuan, has appreciated by 7% in a year against the dollar. &quot;The number of factors of instability and uncertainty increases,&quot; says Sheng Laiyun. </p>
<p> The concern weighing on Europe
<p> In this context, the correct figures for China&#39;s industrial production have gone unnoticed. This has increased by 13.8% in September year on year, according to BNS. </p>
<p> In addition, concerns about the debt crisis in Europe grew yesterday and weigh Surles markets <a href="http://payday-loans-i.com">payday loan lenders</a><!-- . -->. The German Minister of Economics Wolfgang Schäuble has indeed warned that the EU summit to be held in Brussels Sunday will not lead to a definitive solution to the debt crisis. And, while the central bankers of the euro zone had promised a response &quot;comprehensive and lasting peace&quot; to the crisis at the G20 finance this weekend in Paris.</p>
<p> China Eastern Airlines to Hong Kong and Tepco
<p> On the corporate side, China Eastern Airlines (-9.82% to 2.57 Hong Kong dollars) on Monday announced an agreement to acquire 15 Airbus A330 family for a selected list price of $ 2.5 billion, for delivery between 2013 and 2015. </p>
<p> The action of the firm Olympus camera dropped by a further 8.87% to 1.417 yen to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, bringing to 43% since the sudden collapse of his dismissal Friday of its British CEO accused of mismanagement President Honorary Japanese company. </p>
<p> Note that Tepco, the operator of the nuclear accident in Fukushima, yields 1.38% in Tokyo, after asking the first tranche of public assistance of some 700 billion yen (6.7 billion euros) for finance part of the compensation of victims, according to Japanese media on Tuesday.</p>
<p> On the front of currencies, the euro rose 0.28% to 1.377 dollars on Tuesday. Oil is meanwhile down in Asia after the confirmation of a slowdown in Chinese growth in the third quarter against a backdrop of skepticism about a speedy resolution of sovereign debt crisis in the euro area. The barrel of &quot;light sweet crude&quot; for delivery in November, up in the early electronic trading, lost 9 cents to 86.29 dollars, around 6:00. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> After the events of spring Arab countries that have stirred strong tourism such as Tunisia and Egypt, it is time to first results. As part of the Institute of Economic Forecasting of the Mediterranean world (IPEMED) led by Jean-Louis Guigou, the Mediterranean Travel Association (Meta) published assessments that it may take a little balm to the heart of tourism professionals present in this region. </p>
<p> &quot;The attendance figures, down in the first eight months of from 40 to 50% from a year 2010 already bad, should be better in the second half of the year,&quot; said Stephen Pauchant, president of the Meta. According to his calculations, the outlook for 2011 should reflect a fall of 15% of international tourist arrivals (27.3 million) in the area between Morocco and Egypt.However, for the entire perimeter of the Mediterranean, Stephen Pauchant expects an increase of about 2.17%. </p>
<p> The sense of security is &quot;acceptable&quot;
<p> The price reductions, promotional campaigns, the arrival of new customers came from Eastern Europe and Asia do not explain everything: the sense of security has improved in these countries <a href="http://payday-badcredit.com">bad credit payday advance</a><!-- . -->. Probing of tourists, the institute noted that TravelSat indices had improved. &quot;Now the feeling of security is considered&quot; acceptable &quot;,&quot; said Olivier Henry-Biabaud, president of TravelSat, the index is comparable to some European capitals during a short stay because the stress of city life can be important &quot;. </p>
<p> The fact that in Tunisia, during the Arab spring, no hotels have been attacked, no tourist was concerned, adds to the perception of safety.Important source of foreign exchange, tourism is expected to return in the long term growth. &quot;The tragedies of past attacks demonstrate that the concept of resilience is strongly rooted in these countries, says Maxime Weigert, expert on tourism in IPEMED. Not only tourists return after tragedies such as that of Luxor in 1997 (58 tourists killed), but the learning curve reaches the same level as if nothing had happened. &quot; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The fans thought they were lights beverage spared the tax on soft drinks made by the Government in late August. Did not count on a UMP Amendment / New Centre approved in committee Wednesday as part of the review of the draft budget 2012. While the amount of tax on sugary soft drinks is on track to be doubled, MPs are now looking to expand the scope of this tax on soda beverages containing sweeteners. </p>
<p> The government, which did not include this option in the first place, now says not to exclude the idea. &quot;It is the wishes of the parliament, we will discuss,&quot; said the spokesman of the government, Valérie Pécresse, on the set of Canal + on Thursday. </p>
<p> The stakes are high for the government because the sugar-free drinks, but with sweeteners that give a sweet taste, is increasingly consumed.Today, they account for 17% of the soft drinks market with strong brands like Diet Coke or Coke Zero. </p>
<p> No figures have yet been provided about the extra tax revenue that would generate this new amendment, if adopted in plenary session. The previous amendment adopted by the Finance Committee of the National Assembly, to double the amount of tax, also remains to be validated by all the members. By itself, it could generate a windfall estimated at 250 million euros a year, instead of 120 million euros initially planned. The rate of contribution on the sodas would be increased to 6.22 euros per hectolitre in 2012.Then he would be raised from the beginning of 2013, to January 1 of each year, at a rate equal to inflation (excluding tobacco) in the penultimate year. </p>
<p> Support the agricultural sector
<p> As announced in the Figaro, the objective of this expansion drinks with sweeteners is to finance the lower cost of agricultural labor &quot;to allow our farmers to sell their products at the same price as Germany and Spain&quot; explains Valérie Pécresse. The government has in fact reduced in 2012 from 210 million payroll taxes on permanent farms. The tax will be reviewed and corrected to about half. </p>
<p> The industrial problems digesting the news. &quot;We said from the beginning that it was normal to participate, provided that everyone involved in the fight against deficits.Simply, we do not want to be the adjustment variable of all the deficits that pass and on which we have not much to see, &quot;said Jean-Rene Buisson, president of the National Association of Food Industries (Ania ). The doubling of the tax sodas would, he said, an estimated increase &quot;between 0.2 and 0.3 cents&quot; per can. </p>
<p> No problem for Michel Diefenbacher UMP (UMP): &quot;These drinks, which are not basic necessities, benefit from the reduced VAT rate.They must be able to withstand the additional load generated by this new contribution, &quot;says he in a sub-amendment. </p>
<p> But for now, nothing is yet definitively confirmed nor on the doubling of the tax, nor about its extension to drink with sweeteners. </p>
</p>
<p> End of aspartame in system U
<p> The distribution group Système U has chosen to abandon the use of aspartame in soft drinks sold under any brand, starting in January. For the first time a manufacturer makes such a decision. This choice responds to the concerns of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on the effects of this artificial sweetener. </p>
<p> Système U has already banned the use of parabens in cosmetics and Teflon in cookware. Its chairman Serge Papin, expresses his desire to &quot;become a leader in healthy products.&quot;

<p> How to make a hitch to his dog kibble? Appeal to teachers, as do the manufacturers for ages in their advertisements, not enough. It is also pet the pooches in the grain. Nestle, the world leader in animal nutrition with Purina (Friskies, Fido, Felix &#8230;), is launching this week at the Austrian television advertising directed at the first of the canine race! A 23-second spot that touts its brand Beneful. The brand hopes to honor &quot;the unique relationship between dogs and their masters.&quot; </p>
<p> The matter was taken very seriously by Nestlé. The group uses its team of specialists in animal behavior, based in Missouri <a href="http://pay-day-loan-s.com">quick pay day loan</a><!-- . -->. They have identified the sounds that dogs, whose hearing is two times finer than that of humans, are particularly susceptible.Beneful spot, which features a dog bowl in front of her and his mistress, and has a grinding noise similar to that of a dog toy, a barely audible hiss of humans and a fairly high-pitched signal. Dogs are supposed to react differently to advertising based on their &quot;individual experience&quot; and the games they are used with their master, provides Nestlé. Last year, Nestlé Purina was pioneered in Germany with scented billboards that opened the appetite of dogs for a walk. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The New York Stock Exchange began the week as badly as he had finished the previous one. The debt crisis in Europe and the United States and the gloomy outlook for global growth still hovering in the markets. At the close, Wall Street lost 2.37% to 10,655.30 points, the Nasdaq 3.29% to 2335.83 loose points and the S &amp; P 500 drops 2.85% to 1099.23 points. Friday, Wall Street had already been a difficult session. </p>
<p> On the macroeconomic front, the ISM manufacturing index in the United States has, however, unexpectedly increased to 51.6% in September (the consensus of analysts expected 50.5%) and construction spending rebounded in the month of August 1.4% (against 0.5% expected).These publications serve to mitigate the concerns about U.S. growth occurred even as the markets again questioned the ability of Greece to meet its budgetary commitments. </p>
<p> But the crisis of public finances continues to produce its harmful effects on the markets. Bad news yesterday in Europe, where Greece has announced that it would lack its budget deficit targets. The second Country Assistance Plan will be the focus of several summit meetings this week: Monday, finance ministers of the euro area were meeting in Luxembourg hours from 5:30 p.m. and Tuesday, those of the entire European Union.This will then be the turn of the Franco-German debate the future of Greece and &quot;ways and means to accelerate economic integration in the euro area&quot;. </p>
<p> A new week promises to be tense on Wall Street, where investors are worried more about a possible erosion of corporate earnings, without the support of foreign demand. Past two years, export sales have averaged 30% of the turnover of listed companies in the S &amp; P 500, allowing the results of many of them to exceed the expectations of analysts. In addition, many U.S. multinationals have benefited in recent months the relative weakness of the dollar to support exports.But the euro shows a quarterly decline of more than 7% against the greenback, depriving companies of the damper. </p>
<p> The U.S. ISM better than expected
<p> Most analysts have already lowered their expectations of results. According to Thomson Reuters data, earnings for the third quarter are expected up 13.3% over the same period of 2010, against an expected increase to 17% in early July. </p>
<p> On the macroeconomic front, the manufacturing sector has grown stronger than expected in September in the United States, according to the purchasing managers&#39; index released Monday. This index, calculated by the Institute of Supply Management (ISM), stood at 51.6 against 50.6 last month in August and 50.5 expected. </p>
<p> Construction spending rebounded against all odds in August after falling in July, according to official figures released Monday by the Commerce Department.They rose 1.4% year on year to stand at 799.15 billion dollars, while analysts expected a decline of 0.3% following a decline (revised) 1.4% the previous month. </p>
<p> Oil continues to fall and the dollar to strengthen
<p> Oil prices have closed lower in New York lundisoir in the wake of the stock markets, despite the encouraging figures on manufacturing and sales of automobiles in the United States. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, a barrel of &quot;light sweet crude&quot; for delivery in November lost $ 1.59 from Friday&#39;s close, and accounted for 77.61 dollars. </p>
<p> On the currency markets, the dollar continued its rise against the euro, the euro falling by 1.46% to 1.3192 dollar. </p>
<p> Also note, the protest movement against the excesses of Wall Street gains momentum.The New York police said on Sunday that most of the more than 700 demonstrators arrested Saturday as they marched down the Brooklyn Bridge to protest against the excesses and other finance had been released. Further rallies are planned. </p>
<p> Yahoo! Alibaba in the crosshairs
<p> Alibaba China Internet group would be &quot;interested&quot; in acquiring a large U.S. shareholder Yahoo! (2.73% to 13.53 dollars) and has been approached by private equity firms interested in mounting such an operation, said on Monday the Wall Street Journal. Yahoo! is the main shareholder in Alibaba, with 40.5% of its capital, but relations between the two companies are very tense for months.Alibaba has in the past tried to buy this participation, but the direction of Yahoo! there is still refused, partly because of the importance of the contribution for its own market capitalization. The group, which has dismissed its CEO, Carol Bartz, is valued around $ 17 billion in stock. Alibaba is not listed but the whole group is valued around $ 30 billion. </p>
<p> Intel (-3.35% to 20.62 dollars) will acquire Telmap, an Israeli company that designs software for mobile browsing. Details of the agreement were not disclosed, but Israeli media reported that the semiconductor giant would pay between 300 and 350 million dollars (224 euros 261 million).Telmap will become a 100% subsidiary of Intel, retaining its brand, its management and 210 employees. </p>
<p> For its part, Citigroup (-9.78% to 23.11 dollars) would be subject to an investigation by Japanese authorities for lack of information on financial products, according to Reuters. The Japanese Financial Services Agency seeks in particular to know if Citi did not breach disclosure requirements. It also attempts to determine whether the bank is not involved in laundering operations. </p>
<p> Also note, WellPoint (-4.53% to 62.32 dollars) has increased its budget share repurchases of $ 5 billion more. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> After China, Russia and India, Renault-Nissan continues its conquest of the BRICs with Brazil, a market that the Alliance considers particularly promising. Japanese Nissan, 43.4% owned by Renault, will announce next Tuesday the construction of its first plant in the country. It would produce about 200,000 cars a year according to Nissan. This would be after a source quoted by Reuters car to make affordable electric cars. The manufacturer will invest $ 1.5 billion (1.1 billion euros). A figure not confirmed by Nissan, but the sum generally allocated to the creation of a new plant. The site could be located in the State of Rio de Janeiro. So far, Nissan produces its cars in the Renault plant in Curitiba, in Parana state. </p>
<p> Meanwhile, Renault will expand the capacity of its plant to better meet market demand.The investment could be around 200 million euros, according to estimates from an internal source to the manufacturer. The Curitiba plant produced 190,000 cars last year, about 30,000 Nissan vehicles. </p>
<p> Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault-Nissan, said in June, during the presentation of the new strategic plan of the Japanese, that Nissan would announce an investment in Brazil by the end of the year. He also promised two weeks ago, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the major announcements about upcoming BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China). </p>
<p> Renault-Nissan, whose global market share stood at 10.3% in 2010, wants to catch up in Brazil, where the Alliance was granted last year that 5.9% of the market ( 4.8% for Renault and 1.1% for Nissan). The French manufacturer this year is 5.5% of market share and 7.4% in 2013, with 250,000 vehicles sold (against 160,000 in 2010).He estimates that Brazil, last year&#39;s third market, could become the second to the horizon behind France. </p>
<p> While the market is currently dominated by Fiat, Volkswagen and General Motors, which share almost two-thirds of sales, the French rival Renault, PSA Peugeot Citroen, also seeking to hold its own in the game PSA , had already announced in 2010 an investment of 530 million euros in Brazil, including the development of models tailored to the local market and increased capacity. The plant in Porto Real, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, should be capable of producing 220,000 cars from next year, against 150,000 now.</p>
<p> Higher taxes on imports
<p> Renault-Nissan also want to be able to benefit fully from the growth of the Brazilian market, last year became the fourth in the world, with 3.3 million vehicles and an increase of 10.6%. In recent months, growth has slowed significantly, however, even if the first 8 months of the year, it still reached 7.5% over the same period in 2010. The country could fall back to fifth or sixth place this year, according to the local builders association. </p>
<p> Increasing their industrial presence in local, French manufacturers are also able to escape the measures recently implemented by the Brazilian government to tax heavily on imported cars and thereby encourage investment in the country.</p>
<p> Renault-Nissan was headed for emerging markets, giving priority to date every time to one of two manufacturers. In Russia, the Alliance is currently negotiating the takeover of Russian Avtovaz before the end of the year, Renault could hold 35%. In India, Renault will produce four new models by end 2012 in the Nissan plant in Chennai. Remains China, where the Japanese are strongly represented, but Renault is still absent. An absence that seems more than ever out of place when Nissan is growing in Brazil. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Bernard Bigot, High Commissioner for Atomic Energy and alternative energy, draws lessons from the catastrophe of Fukushima. </p>
<p> The FIGARO. &#8211; Germany and its industry turning its back on nuclear power. Do you regret that choice? </p>
<p> Bernard BIGOT. &#8211; The German decision is final. The choice of Siemens, it makes sense: even a very large international company has no choice but to follow the policy direction of his home country. Yes, of course, we regret this shift: the nuclear returned to 20% in the German energy mix and it will therefore increase the use of fossil fuels to make up the loss. The need for electrical interconnections will also grow to increase import capacity, which will weigh even more on costs. </p>
<p> The cost of this decision has recently been estimated at 250 billion euros for Germany.What would happen if France were to make the same choice? </p>
<p> It is quite normal that the competent institutions are seeking to quantify the opportunity cost from the current nuclear power generation for everyone to measure the financial consequences of the choice that was made out of nuclear power in 2022. We must examine the assumptions, but the figure quoted seems a reasonable order of magnitude. As for France, whose nuclear is more than three times larger than the German fleet, I believe that at this stage, no figure can reasonably be argued, because alternative resources are not the same . The impact may be even heavier than the simple application of a rule of three.How much is an open question. </p>
<p> Is it possible however that the French nuclear production back? </p>
<p> Our country has decided to preserve its energy independence as much as possible, and nuclear power contributes significantly. In 2003, energy imports have cost 23 billion euros to France, or 10% of its export income, all economic sectors. In 2010, this figure rose to 48 billion, or 25% <a href="http://payday-loans-cheap.com">pay day loans</a><!-- . -->. This year, we should surpass the 60 billion. Suffice to say that without nuclear energy costs explode in unprecedented proportions. This does not mean that we should give renewable energy: in the next five years, CEA proposes to double its budget and staffing in this area, respectively, to the tune of 300 million euros and 1,800 people.The government wants the CEA adopts renewables the same approach as for the nuclear namely stimulate research and encourage the emergence of powerful industrial sectors. </p>
<p> In addition to France and six months after the catastrophe of Fukushima, the world nuclear power is still flickering it? </p>
<p> Such an accident in a large industrial country known for its industrial skills was seen as a legitimate shock wave in the world. Today is the time for questions: what are the reasons for this catastrophe on the one hand, how to protect the other. Meanwhile, a barrel permanently installed above the $ 105, the differential change unfavorable to consumer countries and the strengthening of climatic requirements lead to the need to maintain nuclear.All countries are conducting security audits: complementary investments in facilities that should result in increase their robustness. </p>
<p> The first reports on the stress tests suggest they think that plants are safe? </p>
<p> Two points can be distinguished. First, the facility design: it shows a good resistance in most countries, which involve changes at the margin. However, the chain of exploitation, which covers both human organization that the reaction of the authorities, should be carefully checked to ensure that safety is ensured at all times. In Japan, it was deficient, and valuable time was lost: 100 m³ of water per hour, that is to say a quarter of a fire truck, would probably permit the early hours of to avoid radioactive releases into the air. </p>
