They believe, first of all, not able to improve employment, boost growth and balance the budget. They also have a negative opinion on its action in terms of purchasing power. Worse, his reforms are out of step with the concerns of the French. As a result, business leaders believe that the project for France is "not credible" and lack of "clarity". For them, the head of state has not committed "in the right direction."

The government also posted a record unpopularity. Small employers are only 13% said that Jean-Marc Ayrault 3and his ministers take their concerns into account, despite a series of measures for SMEs4 and start-up announced on April 29 by the President of the Republic at the close of Audience entrepreneurship .5

Logical consequence of the recession hitting France, TPE6 leaders are worried. They recorded a decline of 0.8% of their turnover in the last three months and optimism is at its lowest since 2000. Small employers are only 42% provide a positive outlook for their business. 30% even expect a further decline in revenues in the next three months.

The government would undertake a new pension reform faster than expected. According to the World, this major reform could take place in 2013. It is not finally postponed to 2014, as previously announced by the Government. "We thought postpone until next year, but we will be forced to accelerate our schedule," says a source of daily Matignon. "It would be difficult not to give signs before the conference social July." Questioned on this Friday, the Prime Minister simply stated that it was the origin of the article in Le Monde, without formally refute this calendar. "The government, in time, take full responsibility," it is simply to explain.  

Advancing the implementation of this reform, the government hopes to reassure including Brussels, France's European partners and markets, while growth proves weaker than expected. According to the European Commission, France should therefore miss its target of reducing the public deficit to 3% of GDP in 2013.

Retirees made contributions

To carry out the reform, the government should build on ongoing negotiations between the social partners, which aims to save the pension complementary frameworks (Agirc) and employees (Arco) business card. There is also emergency financial reserves will be exhausted in effect the next 5 to 7 years. On this issue, the social partners are moving towards indexation partial and temporary retirement pensions, which could inspire the government in its reform of the general scheme. The idea of ​​management, which does not seem to alienate unions would cease to adjust annually the level of pensions exactly the amount of inflation. For several years, a point differential could be accepted.

"If the unions agree to supplementary pensions, we are tempted to inspire us," says an adviser to the World. In September, the Court of Auditors had criticized in his annual report, the tax benefits enjoyed by retirees, and found their standard of living higher than 15% of assets. The government might be all the more tempted to make that contribution assets were most requested by Woerth reform. To get the pill for retirees, "consideration" could be granted in respect of the financing of addiction, anxiety for this age group. The government should juggle the two reforms in 2013.

Biologists are angry. "On Monday, we take the afternoon strikes throughout, added to the gel transmissions leaf disease Banks to primary health insurance," says François Blanchecotte, President of the Union of Biologists (SDB). In Marseille, Patrick Lepreux, Bioprat union, began a hunger strike in protest against the reform. Biologists believe that the government, calling for a new lower rates of 80 million euros in 2013 goes too far. In 2012 already, the turnover of the industry fell 1.5% to $ 3.5 billion while the economy grew by 2.8% in volume.

New regulatory requirements

"For six years, the profession has dropped 700 million," says François Blanchecotte, exasperated that the government does not regain the agreement seemed to be reached with health insurance and provided a rate increase at least equal to the inflation from 2013 to 2015. "The adjustment variable, it is the employees," he warned, referring 8,000 jobs at risk over nearly 45,000 in the sector.

In addition there are new regulatory requirements. Biologists are concerned about the most demanding quality standards imposed on their tests (blood tests, urine …), from 2016, in the form of accreditation. "Reform creates factories analyzes," decried by some biologists. In any case it involves heavy investment and accelerates the concentration of laboratories.

Certification, which will improve the performance of laboratory tests, "will induce a surcharge of 3% of sales in the beginning, then 1.5% thereafter," said Philippe Charrier, Group Managing Director of Biology Labco. It will force small laboratories that perform are less than 100 patients per day and recorded a turnover of less than one million euros per year to regroup or sell.

Costs and higher unit cost in France

Accreditation and price reductions imposed on the analyzes involved measures implemented by successive governments to reduce healthcare costs. In the field of medical biology, flexibility is not negligible, if one compares the costs of the Hexagon in neighboring countries. According to a study released Tuesday Eurostaf will be at the conference of the magazine "Info Biologist" expenditures per capita medical tests in France are twice as high in Spain and 35% higher than in Germany.

The unit cost of actions is also higher in France, one of the few Western countries where laboratory tests are done in the city rather than in hospital. Examinations will cost 2-10 times more expensive than in Germany or Belgium. "The trouble is that in Germany, the results are issued after a very long time, often four days," puts an industry expert.

Reform legislation of medical biology is under consideration in the Senate. Unions fear it Stavros Dimas future conditions for the exercise of the profession. Yet this law favors laboratories pushing the deadline for accreditation 2020. And, at the request of biologists, it slows the takeover of financial investors now required for a laboratory to be majority owned by a biologist.
