			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Holiday, many employees do not know forget their work. Smartphones and laptops supporting a two-mails regularly consult professionals at these times, for many every day. A sign of the growing influence of the company on its employees? Yes, but not necessarily on its own initiative. A recent study * TripAdvisor for an overwhelming majority of its employees addicts (80%) said to themselves, without solicitation particular employer, which in their words do not even expect that that they work during their holidays. </p>
<p> For a majority of these employees, it is to make a first selection of the many emails received in the meantime. A study of Orse (Observatory on Corporate Social Responsibility) published earlier this month, 38% of employees receive because more than 100 emails per day.The study TripAdvisor has to figure as a disturbing one-third of employees, read emails professionals is the sine qua non for a good holiday. &quot;It is clearly of addiction, said Gerald Demortière, doctor. The employee loses the ability to abstain, to free himself from his business, as a smoker of cigarettes. &quot; The desire to control everything, to feel indispensable, the fear that the important things in our absence to play, grow never win. </p>
<p> Burn-out
<p> The vast majority of employees is estimated not to spend less good holiday so far. But this dependency has its drawbacks. &quot;This adds to stress, and does probably not more effective,&quot; said Eric Albert, founder of the French Institute of action against stress (IFAS). Worse, these &quot;workaholics&quot; may ultimately psychic exhaustion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The &quot;outstanding contribution to the very high income&quot; will not remain as is. Originally the government planned to implement from 2012 a new levy of 3% of the income exceeding EUR 500,000 per year and revenue per unit. It is this threshold in the draft budget law presented Wednesday. But Sunday, the budget minister, Valérie Pécresse, said she was open to a compromise with legislators, who for several weeks argue for a lower threshold. </p>
<p> In fact, the government is prepared to accept that the tax is triggered from 250,000 euros per unit. The level advocated by the current UMP Presidents of the Assembly and Senate, Bernard Accoyer and Gérard Larcher. &quot;This is a good level of understanding,&quot; they say in the entourage of Gilles Carrez, the rapporteur UMP budget to the Assembly. The draft budget law will be amended in October this.And review, the tax will yield € 300 million to the state, instead of 200 million. It will affect 15,000 to 20,000 homes in 5000 to 10,000 against the original. </p>
<p> Specifically, if the amendment passes, the contribution will trip from 250,000 euros in annual revenue for a single and EUR 500 000 for a couple. For now, it is expected that having a child or children shall not be entitled to any share in the calculation of the contribution. </p>
<p> Regular income concerned
<p> Another difference with the Income Tax (IR): the contribution of 3% apply to &quot;income tax reference.&quot; This &quot;reference taxable income&quot; includes wages, but also dividends, interest, capital gains and estate securities short, capital income. &quot;This makes the contribution on very high incomes more effective than the creation of an additional 45% of IR.Indeed, the IR is such that capital income would escape taxation at 45% and would remain taxed at 19%, &quot;said Gilles Carrez. </p>
<p> The government hoped that only households with high incomes are regularly taxed. This is to prevent a dealer who sells one year his business pays the contribution. For this, the income taken into account for the outbreak of the tax will be calculated as an average over three years. This will be discussed, Gilles Carrez wanting only the capital gains are smoothed over three years. The contribution should go out when the deficit below 3% rise in GDP, that is to say in 2014. But many outstanding taxes have been made permanent &#8230; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Relief.

<p> Former Atos Origin has officially completed in early July the acquisition of the holding company consolidating all IT activities of Siemens, Siemens IT Solutions and Services (SIS), which gave birth to a new entity, now called Atos. In exchange, the German group was to take up to 15% in the new entity. The merger helped to improve the financial position of the group.&quot;The growth in operating margin was performed in the context of preparations for the integration of SIS,&quot; said Thierry Breton, adding that the group is now well positioned to increase its competitiveness, and is ahead of schedule to deploy program realization of merger synergies <a href="http://payday-loans-application.com">cashadvance</a><!-- . -->. </p>
<p> Growth in the UK due to public commissions
<p> In terms of performance by geographical area, the UK market of the company that turns out to be the most dynamic yet. Group revenue increased by 3% in the United Kingdom, supported in particular by the return of public commissions that have operated in the area of ​​facilities management (6.6%) and HTTS (+7%) after a freeze period of new contracts during the economic crisis, said Michel Alain Proch, chief financial officer of Atos.</p>
<p> Moreover, in Europe, the activity of the company specialized in IT services has suffered persistent problems in the markets, which led to a very high selectivity of the contracts. This is the case of Benelux, where the turnover of Atos was down 4.1% and France, where the decline in the activity of specialist services is 2.9% in the first six months of the year. These are two historic regions for the group, accounting for one third of its business. As for the new entities Chinese, Turkish and Russian, the results should impact the sales of Atos about 50 million, they will be integrated with results from the fourth quarter, it said. The transfer of these entities occurred on July 1, when the acquisition of SIS by Atos.</p>
<p> The group now expects an operating margin of 6.2% for all of 2011, for an annual turnover of around 6.8 billion euros. Atos also confirmed a target cash flow up 20% to 170 million euros. </p>
<p> These encouraging results have been applauded by the Paris Stock Exchange on Wednesday. The title of the SSII took 5.01% to 39.16 euros to 10 hours. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> French hopes of a major Airbus order from American Airlines had started to be felt on June 30. An article in the Wall Street Journal announced an order in effect prior upcoming 250 aircraft from European aircraft manufacturer with the third largest global airline industry .* </p>
<p> These hopes were not disappointed. The official announcement has fallen American Airlines places order for 460 Airbus A320 aircraft with 260 and 200 Boeing 737. This is a record contract in the history of aviation from AMR. Even better, some 365 options on Airbus against Boeing&#39;s 100 for those raised. This is a turnaround in favor of Airbus fleet since the American company did not count any European aircraft since 2009.&quot;Airbus Boeing enters a pure client, there is a &#39;mix&#39; Neo A320 and A320, which responds to the risk of cannibalization between the two devices,&quot; said Yan Derocles, an analyst at Oddo Securities. </p>
<p> The options are for delivery in 2025, while orders already confirmed will be made within two to eleven. So far, Airbus continues its momentum in the Paris Air Show. Indeed, in June, two historical controls had already been reached: the Malaysian company Air Asia going contract for 200 copies of the Neo-A320 for a total of $ 18 <a href="http://payday-4all.com">savings account payday advance</a><!-- . -->.2 billion, while Indian IndiGo in seeking 150. </p>
<p> The A320 shares to glean Neo 737
<p> Strategically, American Airlines hires a phase of renewal of its fleet and intends to reduce its fuel consumption.In fact, the company looks to new generation aircraft, whose engines are designed to consume a minimum of oil. Airbus, the A320 Neo meets this requirement and just walking on the toes of the Boeing 737 Next Generation, delivered since late 2010. Neo The A320 should be available by 2015. American Airlines will be the first U.S. company to deploy this aircraft. </p>
<p> However, the amount of the order was not disclosed, while the company saw the amount of its net loss increase during the second half of 2011, reaching $ 286 million more than estimated by analysts. In addition, the suspense continues as to the entire command must pass Air France KLM during the summer. She will choose only European aircraft? Stay tuned. </p>
<p> * Number of passengers / km, according to IATA. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The earthquake of March 11 in Japan can be seen in the accounts of the mobile phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson. Controlled equally by the Japanese Sony and Swedish Ericsson, the joint venture made a loss of 50 million euros in the second quarter, the first for over a year. Its turnover was also affected, falling 32% to 1.19 billion euros. </p>
<p> &quot;The impact of the earthquake has had an impact on the supply chain and delivery of approximately 1.5 million product especially at the beginning of the quarter,&quot; said the Swede Bert Nordberg, CEO of Sony Ericsson. Its mobile phone sales declined to 7.6 million units. What Sony Ericsson should immerse the tenth largest in the world. </p>
<p> Already, the whole of 2010, the group had fallen to sixth place, because of Apple&#39;s breakthrough in the rankings, according to research firm Gartner.Then, in the first quarter, Sony Ericsson has continued its descent into hell to register for the ninth World manufacturers. The thrust of the champions of smartphones such as Apple, Samsung, Research in Motion, which manufactures the BlackBerry, and the Taiwanese HTC, very involved in the smartphone using Google&#39;s Android, partly explains the loss of land. However, even the American and Chinese ZTE Motorola went to Sony Ericsson. </p>
<p> Play the card Android
<p> Xperia product line, totaling 16 million units, has been slow to be renewed, which explains the loss of land until the first quarter of 2011. However, recent losses do not affect the strategy of the joint venture. This is a &quot;hiccup.&quot; &quot;We do not change our goals, plans or anything.We see a great demand for our products and we approach the last two quarters in a very positive, &quot;said the boss of Sony Ericsson. The focus on Android, the Google operating system for smartphones, the most sold in the world. Already 70% of its sales of smart phones, designed to connect to the Internet, are equipped with Google software. Sony Ericsson claims therefore about 11% of the global market segment. Bert Nordberg hopes to achieve, ultimately quarter sales of Google Phone in the world. But it does not specify when this should occur. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Monaco is a territory of its own. Wedged between the mountains and the sea, the principality with its 32,000 inhabitants occupies only 2 square kilometers facing the Mediterranean. But this territory, where luxury cars are competing, and traveling in the roaring Formula 1 Grand Prix during the spring pulls its weight in gold. </p>
<p> According to a recent study by Knight Frank is in Monaco that the average price per square meter is the highest in the world for real estate: it takes an average of 66,500 dollars per square meter (about 46,000 euros per meter square) to find a luxury good. It rises to 100,000 euros per square meter for an apartment on Avenue Princess Grace by the sea The same study gives a figure of 28,000 euros per square meter for real estate in Paris.Prices of course reserved for apartments and houses except that this little something extra that seek privileged. </p>
<p> These are likely to have adopted Monegasque resident status which allows in particular not to be taxed on capital gains or estate inheritance (for the French recently become residents, the tax status, however, is more favorable). Havre many sports, home to thirty different nationalities ultrasécurisée, the principality&#39;s also rents apartments for the price of gold even though rents have fallen 25% since 2010 in some neighborhoods.During the Grand Prix, a terrace well placed can always find a buyer at 20,000 euros for three days! And in the district of Larvotto close to beaches, where the square meter is between 30,000 and 50,000 euros and where transactions are rare, a large two-room 80 m2 with terrace in a building built in the 1960s by the family shows a Pastor rent of around 3500 euros <a href="http://no-fax-fast-cash-advance.com">fast payday loan no faxing</a><!-- . -->. To enable Monaco to stay in their cherished Rock, however, to the principality their rental properties to softer prices. </p>
<p> It was around the palace, found the oldest property in most Italian charm. &quot;Not far from the palace, a house of 600 m2 is for example to sell 40 million euros,&quot; it says in John Taylor. </p>
<p> The land shortage
<p> What is rare is expensive and Monaco has to deal with a small area. There is hardly any free land.In the 1970s, a whole district, that of Fontvieille, had been reclaimed from the sea is now a new port, shops, homes, this is the beating heart of the industrial and economic principality and that is the stadium of AS Monaco. </p>
<p> Prince Rainier had toyed with the idea of ​​winning a territory of 5 hectares of the sea and to build some 300,000 m2, but the project was abandoned following the 2008 crisis.The subject he returns to the agenda in the medium term? It could be a way for Prince Albert of its mark in the history of Monaco and to give new impetus to the principality. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Monitor prices and margins on agricultural products launched in September 2010 will make its findings on Monday. According quotidienLes Echos, the 250-page report, commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with INSEE and Agrimer, the responsibility of leading retail chains in maintaining the sales price to consumers despite lower commodity prices. </p>
<p> Cherries five times more expensive
<p> The experts, headed by Philippe Chalmin, an economics professor at the University of Paris Dauphine, studied agricultural production subject to the most serious crises in the last ten years such as milk, beef and pork, and fruits and vegetables. According to their findings the distribution has made such an important and constant gross margin of red meat even though the farmers of this category recorded the lowest incomes.</p>
<p> The situation is similar with regard to pork. In ten years from the final price going to farmers has increased from 45% in 2000 to 36% in 2010. At the same time, one devoted to retailers jumped 39% to 55%. The long-life milk, gross margin was doubled when the signs that producers declined. Distributors also apply high margins on fruits and vegetables. Cherry cherry has been charged five times more expensive to consumers that it was paid by the distributor. Only segment where margins have been reduced signs: the yoghurt.The report provides no explanation but Les Echos believe that the power companies such as Danone, which reach more to negotiate prices is one reason. </p>
<p> Annual Report
<p> The report, which should help parliamentarians better navigate the debate between producers, manufacturers and distributors for years, however, said it is difficult to track the price of a product from production to exposure in the linear. Investigators also complain that the distributors did not provide all the necessary elements to determine the composition of the margins.Information they hope to meet next year, the Observatory should indeed provide an overview of the situation every year. </p>
