This would be the second single strike at the SNCF since the election of François Hollande. The four organizations representing the public company (CGT, UNSA, SOUTH CFDT) on Friday filed a request for an immediate consultation. A mandatory procedure before filing a notice of strike. However, Les Echos reported that Saturday1, "at the beginning, they had already announced in a joint leaflet an" action all services unit in June 2013. " Which suggests that the strike will be held Thursday, June 13, 2013.

The unions want to denounce the railway reform and problems purchasing power rail can be read on the website of France Info2. The movement would be followed as the previous, say unions, who find that "the malaise goes."

Society and the state are in full reflection to improve the operational efficiency of the French railway system and eliminate its debt. Two reports on the subject were made in April 3: they both offer a return of all the orders of the State SNCF4 cash advance. A bill will be introduced in a few months.

Meanwhile, in March, the company announced that the railway will make between 1.5 and 2 billion in savings over the next five years. Which in addition to a plan to reduce costs of purchasing, IT spending … 700 million by 2015 already announced a few months ago.

An uncertain 2013 for SNCF

For the year 2012, the SNCF has posted "satisfactory" results in his boss Guillaume Pepy, who has renewed his mandat5 at the head of the company railways for five years. In 2012, the turnover of the Group increased by 3% compared with 2011 to € 33.8 billion. Better, its net profit tripled to EUR 383 million. And debt decreased by EUR 1 billion to 7.3 billion.

Nevertheless, the year 2013 will be difficult with large work Ile-de-France that will disrupt the quality of service, the economy still fragile and budget authorities, including those allocated to transport, which still suffer the crisis of public finances in France and Europe.

Please remember that a payday loan is a rather expensive line of credit. Much like taking something to the pawn shop.

 

Red card for the College of Pharmacists and the state. The Court of Auditors, in référé1 published on Tuesday denounced the "inertia" of the state who lack a framework for the College of Pharmacists in particular in "litigation and disciplines." In short, side control and sanctions pharmacies in violation. To such an extent that "the disciplinary role of the order is weakening." Some regional councils of the order of pharmacists and record "almost none" complaint. No wonder, because the number of controlled drug was almost halved between 2007 and 2009. In short, drug stores2 today is no longer controlled on average every 27 years!

The situation has worsened since 2009 and the creation of regional health agencies (ARS), relays the Ministry of Health in the regions, the Court noted. The 133 inspectors pharmacists working for ARS are actually allocate that … 27% of their time working the controls. Involved? The ARS affect other missions, mainly administrative, which have nothing to do with their heart business. The order is therefore not the only culprit. To remedy the situation, the judges demanded "a rigorous management controls" by the State, "in terms of public health risks as cost for health insurance guaranteed payday loan."

"Passivity administration"

"Passivity of the government" on the other hand could be costly to the College of Pharmacists. Not having been warned in time to a change in legislation in the biomedical field, the College may have to pay a fine of 5 million from the European Commission. This failure of 2007, sliding in response the Ministry of Social Affairs. Perhaps, but this is just the beginning: "This litigation, should it be lost, could expose the College to requests for damages amounting to tens of millions of euros."

The College of Pharmacists also benefits at the margin, the inertia of the state. Indeed, it does not solve all the payroll taxes it should. And the administration did not press him to claim. If the order was paid from 2010 to the CSG and CRDS on compensation paid to its members, the contributions on wages had not been paid between 2009 and 2012. In its response to the Court of Auditors, the Ministry of Social Affairs promises Urssaf will recover the monies owed if they are not resolved quickly.

 

First quarter accounts TF11 plunged into the red. The private audiovisual group chaired by Nonce Paolini released an operating loss of € 15.7 million and a net loss after minority interests of 6.3 million. Advertising revenues were down 12%.

LE FIGARO. – You have changed the way to present your accounts. Is it bad to underestimate your results for the quarter?

Nonce Paolini. – This makes no sense! TF1 accounts are public and audited. The truth is that for about three years, given the variety of group activities, financial statement no longer reflects how the group develops. This change in presentation, many major European groups have also adopted, is an effort to further transparency.

The results of the advertising group, down 12%, were punished Exchange last week. What is your analysis?

This is a bad performance we can not be satisfied! But all media now suffering from the economic situation. We face strong pressure from advertisers and their wait. Added to this is a competitive situation without precedent in France: the market for free TV clash sees no fewer than 25 channels owned by nine different operators. Finally, in the context of hyper-fragmentation of supply, we face a fierce price war clearly triggered by one of our competitors. Also, the results can not be good.

You mean your competitor M6 Group

.

While the market continues to be seen for several months. While lowering prices, the M6 ​​Group in step with the decline in hearing both antennas M62 and W93. He practices comparable to Freeview promotions. This is normal because its main chain became the first chain TNT4! But embarking on a wild ride that collapses as the price is destructive of value. And this is in the interest of person or televisions, or the advertisers who need media healthy! It is not the viewers who could face a decline in the supply of programs if reason does not prevail!

Are there not a paradox in your hearings have rebounded over the last nine months and your bottom line?

This does not affect, in any case, the strategy that we have set ourselves: to offer premium advertising space to advertisers. With an average audience of 23.4% during the day, unique in Europe, we offer exceptional opportunities for contacts, no other channel can offer: the TF1's audience is more than twice that of M6! In addition, TMC5 resists and NT16 increased despite the increased fragmentation of the offer. HD17 and is head of six new channels launched last December. Also, the TF1 group, with our success in the digital, has the most advantages to benefit from any economic revival. What we want and what we succeed, is to touch the widest possible and not we focus on one target on which women M6 and most Freeview cannibalize public. Because it is simply forget all the other viewers who are also prescribers and economic actors! In short, it is not only the famous housewife under fifty who decides purchases home. The company has evolved. Also continue to offer programs that bring together the largest number we go. I would add that, unlike our competitors, we are severely handicapped by the obligation to sell the advertising of our four channels via two different boards. It will not be the case in 2015.

Jo was lovely audience scores during the broadcast of the first episode, a little less in the second. Should we rethink your strategy international fiction?

There are hearings France who works and those of France bridges. Also, both Jo hearings are not comparable. And they are above average! Beyond this series, you should know that for several years the French fictions are heavily loss: revenue not balance their cost, which has been growing! They mainly affect older audiences while the American series are full of a younger audience that advertisers consider the most interesting. The stakes are high for our cultural exception! And international co-productions are a very interesting way.

"Koh-Lanta8" was a strong brand TF1. After the tragedy that affected the show, do you replace it?

We were deeply shocked. Today there is a preliminary investigation in progress and it is only in the light of its conclusions TF1 determine. The death of our candidate is a tragedy, and we now know he had a heart defect that was fatal. To me, if there is a "Koh-Lanta" matter is that the suicide of Dr. Costa. He was the victim of a heinous media lynching. Most shocking is that his death has left marble perpetrators of these terrible accusations! You know, our mission and our goal is to inform and entertain. And death should never be at the rendezvous emissions we prepare.

Aurélie Filippetti, Minister of Culture and Communication, plans for its future bill to reform the rules to improve advertising revenue channels. What do you think?

Successive governments have increased the errors favoring oversupply television. We measure the disastrous effects on the health of the audiovisual sector, that is to say, its funding and suddenly its creative dynamism. We have emphasized throughout recent months with government on several changes needed in this area: for example, the terms of sponsorship, advertising and prohibited areas creating a shopping channel. On these three points, it seems that we have been heard.

This bill also provides for dust relations between TV channels and producers. What do you expect?

All stakeholders agree: we need a rebalancing of economic relations between broadcasters and producers. We all have an interest in creating a new heritage of works that can at once to collect the larger public but also to reap the benefits internationally. It should help us build the audiovisual gives future. And my motto is that you have a fiction that is exported. This rebalancing will require a new deal with the recovery of such shares in favor of co-chains, with the opportunity to invest in the creation taking stakes in production companies, which implies a new division between dependent and independent generation . Finally, it is necessary that our obligations in a broader European space co is allowed. Series like Jo or Crossing Lines, which will be broadcast on American network NBC Universal this summer, are successful abroad before France! In short, we must give the means to be conquerors!

 

The textile industry is a mea culpa. Two signs are committed Monday to pay compensation to the victims of the collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, Bangladesh. One of the first to be confirmed working with garment factories destroyed, the British Primark, said in a communiqué1 his local team "working on the establishment of an immediate and sustainable assistance to disaster victims." Specifically, the group made contact with a local NGO to provide "emergency food stocks' families and account" payment of compensation ", the amount is not disclosed. These funds will be paid to "children who have lost their parents," the "wounded" and "families of deceased workers."

While a demonstration was held in front of one of its stores in London 2dimanche, Primark will not pay alone. The group urged other retailers who use subcontractors collapsed building "unfold and offer their help." In the process, Loblaw first food retail group in Canada, recognized to be related to the accident through its subsidiary cheap Joe Fresh clothing and promised financial support to victims. "We are in the process of finalizing the contours," he says in a communiqué3. Like Primark, the Spanish retailer Mango admitted view past orders for 25,000 items from suppliers Rana Plaza in the early hours of the tragedy, but added that they were samples. According to the Clean Clothes Campaign4 Association, based in Amsterdam, the British and Spanish Bonmarché Corte Ingles also revealed their links with these workshops. Other companies that were suspected weekend5 including Carrefour brand Tex, C & A, Benetton or Wal-Mart, but denied.

The financial challenge of responsible production

While the drama was over 380 dead and thousands injured, about 3,000 people employed in the building, the pressure rises on the western textile giants. They are charged to enjoy a local labor at low cost without always ensure checks (security, social and production) on site cash advance flexible payments. In Bangladesh, where wages revolve around 30 euros per month, the union of textile workers (National Garment Workers' Federation) launched a petition 6to force the industry – and spéficiquement Primark, Matalan and Mango – to compensate victims. The text has collected nearly 64,000 signatures to date. "The negligence must stop. The deaths of these workers could have been avoided if these groups had taken the protection of workers seriously, "says Amirul Haque Amin, president of the union. The collapse of the Rana Plaza is the latest in a long list of industrial accidents that have killed more than 1,000 workers in Bangladesh since 2005, according to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) 7, which had a mission support at the scene of the disaster.

Most multinationals have yet signed codes of conduct intended to ensure that their products are made in responsible and ethical conditions, both on the front of the environment on the working conditions of employees. Primark, for example, is a signatory to the Code of Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) 8, an alliance of companies, NGOs and trade unions which also counts among its members the names of other clothing and Distribution: C & A, River Island, Stella McCartney, Inditex (Zara), Gap, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Sainsbury's, etc.. The challenge for companies beyond the marketing pitch. With the emergence of a global market for socially responsible investment (SRI) in recent years, the non-financial criteria are increasingly taken into account by financial players who invest in companies. At the end of January 2013, the global market for responsible investment reached 13.600 billion (more than 10,000 billion), or 21.8% of assets under management, according to the World Alliance of responsible investors (GSIA) 9. SRI in France weighed € 149 billion in 201210, up 29% compared to 2011.

Counselor far appreciated

But the site has not been the target of a hacker, the ads have been posted by a counselor. A spokeswoman explained that "all counselors are authorized to publish job offers received. All counselors validate their content "without further verification. The latter emphasizes that it is "a first for the institution" which released last year no less than 3 million offers on its site.

Thus, misunderstanding dominates the headquarters of the Institution of employment in France. The spokesman emphasizes that the perpetrator "has long worked for the small agency Cher and is appreciated both by his colleagues as job seekers." Another counselor has taken his post pending clarification of the motives of the agent, and the decision of the institution.

The killing of Newtown has plunged America into mourning. And aroused the anxiety of American parents, already traumatized by several tragedies in schools. Perhaps more quickly than elsewhere in the United States, any event, as tragic as it is a bearer of good business: from the terrible shooting, sales of backpacks bulletproof are booming.

Tact with incomplete, a dozen companies unsheathe anxyogènes slogans, which usually operate in the United States: "The question is: your life or that of your child worth it $ 229?" Says the head of company Black Dragon Tactical, which sells anti-armor killing to integrate into the bags. It's just "a security in case your child is in the wrong place at the wrong time," he says. Same tactic for Amendment II, a company that sells turnkey backpacks bulletproof to "protect defenseless children of a crazed gunman."

Disney Princesses and Avengers

Those of this company based in Salt Lake City are well suited to appeal to youth: Disney princesses for girls, superheroes The Avengers for boys and a model SwissGear to preserve the style of adolescents easy payday loans. As for the bullet-proof plate in carbon nanotubes, it is inserted discreetly, and weighs just 500 grams. However, it is capable, in its basic version, stop 45 caliber and 9 mm. For .44 Magnum, it will opt for an overlay, charged about $ 100 plus $ 300 (average) to pay for the bag. Plus delivery.

Amendment II ensures that from Newtown, its sales are three times higher. Remains to be seen whether Americans freshly shocked by the killing, will consider it necessary to protect their children in the long term. If Barack Obama said his administration would submit "in the coming weeks" in Congress reform proposals on the wearing of arms, Americans still fear. And rob stores of weapons, including semi-automatic weapons of war, as they are not yet prohibited. The powerful gun lobby in the United States rubs hands.

Our special envoy in Brussels,

David Cameron has touched a nerve in Brussels, not to say explosive: he demanded the summit, a real austerity for 55,000 European civil servants it deems too highly paid in this time of crisis. "They are 250 to win more than me!" Has offended the British Prime Minister, referring to the annual salaries above € 100,000 CEOs of some of the European Commission

David Cameron has asked the EU president, Herman Van Rompuy, "at least" six billion euros on wages and pensions Eurocrats over the period 2014-2020. This is the price of his support for a compromise on the EU budget, in addition to maintaining the "British rebate", a discount on the contribution of 3.6 billion euros in 2011.  

Touching a chord with British tabloid press and hostile to the European institutions, David Cameron has proposed a 10% reduction in the salaries of 55,000 employees, $ 3 billion euros economy increased age retirement to 68 years against 62 years ago today – 1.5 billion euros in savings – and reduced the amount of pensions Eurocrats, amounted to 1.5 billion euros.

End of inadmissibility of Van Rompuy

The President of the EU has raised an objection of inadmissibility to this request, explosive Brussels. In his second budget proposal, Herman Van Rompuy, the lower limit administrative costs to 536 million over 7 years, a reduction in "very modest" should be in Brussels no faxing pay day loans. "This is a key element of the negotiation" recognizes a diplomat. "If Herman Van Rompuy accept more cuts on wages, is that he sees dawn agreement," commented a trader.

Britain is not alone in requiring a lower institutional life, in this time of crisis. France, the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark and Finland a true advocate for austerity in Brussels. But François Hollande Judge Cameron excessive requests. "This is a radical proposal" says the French president. "We are not against the principle of lower operating costs," added the head of state, "but it is necessary that Europe can continue to operate."

Faithful to the line of its predecessors, François Hollande, refused to sacrifice the seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, hotly contested. "I am very attached to the seat in Strasbourg, often targeted in its proposed reduction credits" he insists.  

The reduction of administrative costs was discussed during the bilateral David Cameron and François Hollande Friday afternoon. The British rebate was also discussed. Failing to reduce, France wishes to pay a lesser extent, cap or participation. But the preservation of the British rebate is the red line in London, to which Van Rompuy did not dare touch.
