Pensions' more than 11. 000 "untaxed

Discussed Tuesday by "government sources" quoted by AFP, the tax "special" on incomes over 11,000 euros per month to finance retirement, lived. If that threshold had been applied by household income, a couple of executives earning 5,500 euros each have been struck. A level consistent with the definition of "rich" François Hollande (PS) but remains visible in the middle class for Nicolas Sarkozy. The government is therefore seeking a way to help high incomes.

Among the possibilities is a slice of the additional income tax. This is part of decisions that must still be taken as setting the new age. "For the public finances, better go to 62 by 2018 (or extension by a quarter per year) to 63 years by 2030," argues a government source.Way to break in the speech? Response no later than Wednesday, with a press conference of Éric Woerth. The head of the state will not talk about retirement at this point.

The "pathéthique needle in a haystack" by Jean-Marie Messier

The email, signed by Jean-Marie Messier, was dated Sunday, June 30, 2002 at 10 am 23. It may look like a formal letter stating the last wishes of a CEO for a stay. The paper brings to light the scenes is a bit petty negotiations after leaving the group.

That Sunday, Jean-Marie Messier knows he was dropped by the main shareholders. The accounts of Vivendi Universal are in the red. A loss of 13.6 billion euros has been announced. While three days before a board of directors has rejected a narrow majority vote of no confidence against him, he is preparing to resign officially. His departure seems to be the only solution to reassure markets that have become hostile to personality and promises disappointed "J2M.

This Sunday morning, Jean-Marie Messier is therefore sending an email to one of his lawyers."Then I will summarize the points that I want to have all the details?", Begins the missive in a list. First point: "check the proper treatment" of several close aides including Xavier Couture, then CEO of Canal +. Third point: "ensure a legal cover" and an "unlimited coverage for legal fees. To pay them, said in a parenthesis Jean-Marie Messier, "it must be shielded." Other points: provide "social security coverage for my family," fees for the apartment in New York, to benefit from 20 hours per year of flights on aircraft or group chair the ceremony films were made by several Filmmakers on September 11."They are small and big important things," says the e-mail Sunday morning.

Reading this list by the presiding judge is not likely to put at ease Jean-Marie Messier. "It is both a needle in a haystack and it has a pathetic," he explains at the helm. I decided to leave VU but I was still looking for ways to hang myself by mentioning the date of such board or of the projection of films on September 11. Rereading it after eight years, is baroque! ".

The former CEO has said he resigned from the group by letter on the night of Sunday to Monday without worrying about the conditions of his departure quick pay day loan.He had refused a golden parachute clause inserted in his contract after the merger with Seagram, Vivendi, "yet it was the practice in American companies," says he. And he was not at the time of signing his resignation guarantees on his departure: "My decision was to leave and was independent of contract terms," he repeats at least four times in court.

Four days later, July 3, 2002, we find the time to file a handwritten letter addressed to the administrators group."J2M" indignant that he was asked to "make a decision that breaks his professional life," that is, to resign, that he was "promised straight in the eye to treat honorably" but ultimately it is a question not to grant him his starting conditions.

"This letter is not a boss but someone lost, lost, who knows what to do," justifies this time "J2M. The terms of his departure he has finally provided a driver, health coverage for five years and a sum of 18.6 million euros, a sum never touched, an arbitration in New York who stopped in the middle flight this "golden parachute". This short list is at the center of a prosecution for abuse of corporate assets

On this point, the court is no longer the place of the feelings by writing an email Sunday morning dark.At the bar in the courtroom sunny, Jean-Marie Messier adjusts his expressions when the time comes to discuss these golden parachutes to CEOs French inspired 2000s counterparts américiains. He uses a clear voice and clear expression. "I know the media sensitivity when you mention these matters, argues the former CEO. But I mean there was no prejudice. I acted in good faith. For the rest, I had no hand. I thank you for Vivendi Universal.

The real estate bubble in China more risky than in the U.S.

Concern swells in China. While inflation has risen another 2.8% in April, house prices have soared 12.8% last month, their sharpest rise in five years. The measures launched in recent months by the central government to cool the Chinese economy struggling to reassure. So much so that some Chinese personalities out of their usual reserve to sound the alarm.

In a video interview published in the Financial Times, Li Daokui, professor at Tsinghua University (located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing) and member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the People's Bank of China, said that "the problem housing in China is actually much more fundamental and more important as the housing market in the United States and the United Kingdom before the financial crisis. " He said "it is not only a problem of a bubble.

A "social problem"

Soaring property prices may lead to "social problems of great magnitude," Li Daokui analysis. What would happen is China, at a time when wage demands and strikes have taken center stage in recent days. "When prices start to rise, many people, especially youth, are becoming very concerned." The home ownership, which already applies to few households would be increasingly difficult in the current euphoria estate .

The authorities have announced a round of measures since last January in order to stop the burning of property prices. The state has already imposed restrictions on sales of apartments, including the introduction of "flat shop" in Beijing. He has also taken steps to tighten credit flowing.New loans granted by banks in April, however, have reached 774 billion yuan (87.7 billion euros), or 182.2 billion more than in April 2009. Finally, the government announced the "gradual" introduction of a tax on real property.

Reform at the local level

To advise the Central Bank, this range of measures is a "first step", which will control real estate speculation. But it must involve "a long-term reform" of the Chinese real estate market, warns Li Daokui. "The second stage will address the supply problem." According to the professor, steps should be taken in the second semester or early next year to encourage local governments to provide housing for households moderate and low wage.For now, local authorities prefer to sell their land to generate revenue, Li Daokui regrets.

For him, the tax on housing advertised nationally is not a solution because it may further exclude households in the housing market. An opinion shared by Axa Investment Managers. In his weekly memo, the economist Hervé Lievore points to the "vicious cycle" moved "between investors, developers and local communities," the potential to fuel a "social discontent." Believing that the policy implemented by Beijing makes sense, analysts at Societe Generale also stress the need to manage the supply of real estate in order to curb rising prices and facilitate the accession of China to the property.

This 42% increase in sales is twice what the group had planned two months earlier. In late February, when the annual results of the group, the Director-General Jacques Aschenbroich had said the first quarter was broadly in line with the activity of the previous three months, emerged up 21%.

"Valeo's business in the first quarter confirmed the group's ambition to become the partner of automakers in the technologies to reduce emissions of C02, for which we plan to double our turnover of 2013, "commented Jacques Aschenbroich, quoted in the statement, issued after-hours trade.

The automotive industry in France is supported by the boom in orders, which marked the end of 2009 in anticipation of the phasing out of the car scrapping. The second half of the year remains uncertain, and Valeo has delivered on Thursday any evidence on the evolution of the activity on the second part of the year. "Despite a moderate decline in car production in Europe, Valeo anticipates second quarter 2010 sales of the same level as the first quarter," simply stated the group.

The supplier has unveiled a strategic plan in early March by which it expects to achieve a turnover of ten billion euros and an operating margin of 6% to 7% in 2013.

In 2010, Valeo anticipates a near-doubling of its operating margin to 1.8% emerged in 2009, a goal also confirmed Thursday night.

IMF: the euro area lags behind the recovery

The weather global economic summarized in three figures: production (GDP) will grow 10% this year in China, 3.1% in the U.S. and 1% in the euro area countries. For the whole world, growth is expected in 2010 to 4.2% and 4.3% in 2011. With a clear dividing line between the advanced countries, whose growth prospects are around 2.3%, while savings "emerging and developing" a galloping pace of 6.3%.

These new "World Economic Outlook," IMF showed that "the recovery unfolds better than expected. But new challenges have emerged and exceptional "cautioned Olivier Blanchard, chief economist of the Fund. He calls a "warm" restart in the advanced countries, which are still found a lower level of production of 7% it would have without the crisis.In the eurozone, the IMF also revised downwards by 0.1 percentage point to 1% its forecast for growth in 2010, although France, among others, has fared rather better with a forecast of 1.5% instead of 1.4%.

Dependence credit

For Europeans to wonder why their economies pull themselves together much more slowly than America, Olivier Blanchard gives two main explanations. Europe is "more dependent on bank credit as the U.S. market where finance plays a greater role for business and they have restarted the fittest." Furthermore "the policy responses have been later and less strong in Europe," he adds.

This means that the IMF does not disavow the fiscal stimulus packages, including Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the boss, was one of the strongest supporters, from January 2008 fast cash advance. But "it is urgent to develop strategies for fiscal consolidation in the medium term" now stress the same experts. They note that the budget deficits in advanced countries have now reached 9% of GDP on average and that "the debt / GDP ratio should exceed 100% by 2014 if nothing is done.

Rebalancing Economic Policy

The situation is more delicate than a too abrupt adjustment of public finances could hinder growth already shaky.Hence the advice to double trigger "to fully implement fiscal stimulus measures planned for 2010, except in countries which already have a strong increase in their risk premium and must begin to rebalance their budgets now," as Greece. But the most advanced countries should undertake a substantial fiscal consolidation in 2011.

Emerging economies are the reverse face "to an influx of capital, a good thing in itself, but can become excessive," warns Olivier Blanchard. He recovered one of his favorite anthems "the currencies of a number of emerging markets remain undervalued in considerable proportions regarding the yuan." It calls for a revaluation of the currency, both in relation to the dollar than the euro, the only way to give oxygen to Western exports and ease the risk of overheating in Asia.This rebalancing of economic policies will be central to discussions of the G20, whose finance ministers meet Friday in Washington.

Societe Generale: a case to $ 1.25 billion

After the affair in 2008 Jerome Kerviel, Societe Generale will she once again in turmoil? A dispute is ongoing between TCW, the U.S. subsidiary to 100% of the bank specializing in asset management, bond, and his former chief investment officer, Jeffrey Gundlach, fired for "theft, dishonesty and conspiracy, December 4 2009. "This case is completely different from the Kerviel affair," explains Jacques Ripoll, director of asset management business and services to investors in Societe Generale.

Jeffrey Gundlach, former chief investment officer at Trust Company of the West (TCW), claiming 1.25 billion dollars (about 940 million euros) to the 100% subsidiary of Soci?t? G?n?rale, it is stated in the document Reference Societe Generale on page 204.This corresponds to 1.4 times the net profit recorded in 2009 – or 678 million euros – the bank chaired by Fr?d?ric Oudea! "This amount is totally surreal, the goal is to impress," said Jacques Ripoll. "Do you realize, this is equivalent to 30 pay by Jeffrey Gundlach. Over the past five years, Jeffrey Gundlach won $ 134 million and 40 million for 2009 alone.

"A very marginal impact on Societe Generale"

It all started last December 4 when TCW, which manages $ 115 billion in assets, bought one of its competitors, MetWest. But it is his manager, Tad Rivella, which takes the place of Jeffrey Gundlach, dismissed. A transition that is grinding his teeth. And that degenerates in litigation before the courts.

Last January, WCA filed a complaint against Jeffrey Gundlach to whom she seeks 200 million dollars in damages. A month later, the American manager responds with a cons-complaint in which he stated that TCW would not honor a verbal agreement on his employment contract, his salary and that of his collaborators. For Societe Generale, there is no question of compromise. "Today, more than in the past, we no longer want to be taken hostage by managers or traders who, by their deviant behavior, put their interests before those of the group. Frederick Oud?a has made his war-horse, "said Jacques Ripoll.

After a difficult 2009, Societe Generale was slow to emerge from the crisis. "The case Jeffrey Gundlach have a very marginal impact on the accounts of Soci?t? G?n?rale and its shareholders.In the long term, our ethical and responsible decision (to have dismissed Jeffrey Gundlach, Ed) will be very positive for our shareholders. " "The worst is behind us," concludes Jacques Ripoll.

TCW: an IPO, no surrender

In a context where Societe Generale seeks to distance himself with the business of asset management, this case does not fall more, especially since the bank is considering introducing its subsidiary American Stock Exchange. "The IPO of TCW is not on the agenda today. We will consider that once the full potential of TCW implemented. In this regard a doubling of assets under management is a worthy goal for our team. In the two years ahead, our goal is clearly to help TCW to develop. Moreover, the IPO of TCW does not mean we want to cede control.

The bank hopes to delay an end to this matter before scheduling the operation, which could be followed by another IPO: that of Amund. Last December, Soci?t? G?n?rale merged most of its activities in the sector with those of Cr?dit Agricole to create Amund, the number three European asset management after Allianz and AXA, and prompted to enter the stock market " within five years. " An operation that TCW has been kept out, only 20% of capital has been brought to the joint venture.

Between 700 million and 1 billion of additional losses

At a conference with investors organized by Morgan Stanley, Frederick Oud?a, President and CEO of Societe Generale, confirmed Wednesday, according to Les Echos, the bank may suffer in 2010, additional losses of 700 million to 1 billion euros related to its portfolio of toxic assets. This portfolio contained at December 31, 2009 to 35.5 billion euros of risk weighted assets.

In addition to his 2009 results, published last January, Societe Generale had announced that its portfolio of illiquid assets, whose value reached 37 billion euros at end December 2009, generated a net loss of 2.8 billion over the year, including $ 1 billion in the fourth quarter alone.

Flu Vaccine A: The state will pay 48 million

The letters are left on Monday evening. Reportedly, the Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot has finalized negotiations there nearly three months with pharmaceutical companies. To date, the Government had decided to terminate 50 of the 94 million doses of vaccine against influenza A previously ordered.

Doses reserved – totaling approximately 700 million euros – in June and July 2009, at a time when the World Health recommended to the States two injections per person. A requirement under attack in November 2009. The European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) was then estimated that injection was sufficient. This change of foot forced the French government to reconsider its brutally volume orders. Last January, Roselyne Bachelot announced on TF1, the government would not pay the "50 million doses not delivered."A cold shower for the three laboratories involved: GSK, Sanofi Pasteur, Novartis.

Heard today in the Senate by the parliamentary commission of inquiry charged with shedding light on government management of the epidemic of influenza A, the Minister of Health outlining the results of negotiations.

The State should pay the final 48 million euro to pharmaceutical companies instead of 358 million euros initially planned for 50 million doses canceled. Conducted by the Institution of preparation and response to health emergencies (Eprus), negotiations were conducted by laboratory laboratory. "It was man enough, but correct," says one observer of the case. Logic in a big business. Especially that similar talks were held in many countries.In Europe, France and Great Britain are the last to not have fully resolved the issue.

Allowances equal to 16% of the amount set aside

The government immediately set the overall ceiling of compensation it was willing to pay 50 million euros payday loan no faxing . Given the low number of relevant doses (50 000), Baxter has escaped cancellation of orders. But with the three other laboratories, the negotiations were tough. Driven to the wall they demanded equal treatment. So that, finally, the Eprus set the maximum amount of compensation to 16% of the canceled order for each of the labs.

The Eprus and Swiss drugmaker Novartis have been finally agreed Monday. Novartis will receive 10.5 million euros, or about 16% of 65 million at stakeBoth parties waive any recourse to justice.

With GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), failing agreement, the government decided to unilaterally fix the compensation to 36 million euros. But the pill is hard to swallow for the British lab, which has collected 224 million euros if the services Roselyne Bachelot had not canceled the order of 32 million doses. GSK should take note of the proposal, but consider formally accept it.

Finally, negotiations have been particularly harsh with Sanofi-Pasteur. The world leader in vaccines against influenza had himself proposed to cancel the order of 9 million doses of an original total of 28 million.But the subsidiary of Sanofi-Aventis has found less pleasant to have to cancel another 2 million doses.

Unless last-minute deal, the government should send a notification on grounds similar to those of Novartis and GSK, is a payment of 2 million euros over the initial 12.5. Monday evening, the French lab was still hesitating to sign the proposed transaction or initiate an action.
