Christian Grolier, FO Improving public service

Nevertheless, more generally, the MAP worried cash advance to savings account. And, although the Government reiterates that this reform is based on assessments and aimed primarily at improving the functioning of public services. "Officers are struggling to make the connection between speech evaluation and the reality of their daily lives, is to delete numbers," says, with some understatement, Brigitte Jumel, the CFDT9. Christian Grolier, FO, attack him directly to the Government: "The job cuts continue at the same pace as Nicolas Sarkozy in non-priority ministries. Thus, 2060 positions will disappear again in taxes. "In fact, to stabilize the workforce, despite the creation of jobs for Education, justice, the police and the gendarmerie, the government plans to cut 12,000 jobs in other departments there in 2013.

All this is grafted to the number one disappointment: the treatments. The index point, which is the basis for the remuneration of officials, was raised for the last time in July 2010. Returned to power, the left has maintained a freeze. Marylise Lebranchu and announced that the upcoming discussions on the subject will be held mid-2014. "In practice, this means that the point is still frozen in 2014," growls Christian Grolier. The CGT10 is also rising. But for now, the labor front is not united. FO considering actions in September, while the CFDT remnant according Brigitte Jumel, "a dynamic of negotiations."

No potentially lucrative sector of the Web can not escape Google1. Net giant announced Wednesday the launch of a service streaming2 music (a subscription to a music library rather than buying securities unit). Google Play Music All Access will be available for a subscription of $ 9.99 per month, first in the United States, and then rapidly in other countries, including France.

To make its offer streaming attractive, Google did not skimp on resources. It would have won agreements with the largest majors, Universal Music, Sony Music and Warner Music. "Millions of songs" are available. Google relies on its ability to recommend content based on users' tastes and manage research to differentiate. With music streaming, Google does more than add another string to its services available in Android (the operating system for smartphones and tablets, including used by Samsung, LG, Sony).

Unmet goals

Group Mountain View 3change totally strategy in music. Until now, he was content to copy Apple's iTunes download service with its securities unit, called Google Play Music. But it has not achieved its objectives in sales, generating only "a few million" dollars in 2012 according to analysts. The U.S. is trying to solve a problem so far, its services on Android does not generate enough revenue. The comparison with Apple performance in the field may be cruel to Google. In the first quarter of 2013, iTunes, App Store 4 (the Apple App store), iBooks … generated over $ 4 billion in revenue. That's four times more than Google Play. This despite the fact that 900 million Android devices have been activated worldwide, against 500 million for Apple. Another concern, Samsung would pull more profits from Android as Google itself, according to the firm Strategy Analytics.

$ 900 action

For Google, it becomes urgent to restore balance. However, the market for online music and especially the streaming is one of the most promising. And it is still under construction. For now, they are "small players" as Pandora5, a kind of Internet radio with more than 200 million users, the Swedish Spotify, which displays 6 million premium subscribers paying out between 5 and 10 dollars per month, or the French Deezer, who clear the market. But the big players arrive. Google has taken the first step, Apple would consider the follow Amazon have a project in the area, according to the Wall Street Journal.6

Buoyed by these ads, Google stock has passed for the first time the threshold of $ 900, up more than 2.5%, to $ 907, while its market capitalization now exceeds $ 300 billion. It is similar to that of Apple, which totaled 408 billion, or 240 billion less than last September, when the action has reached its historical record.

From our correspondent in Washington

Maurice Taylor is well known United States. But only in the world of tire. His outspokenness that shocks the French syndicalists today, is however in the standard of an industrial world of Midwest where the bosses who have made themselves all alone are not afraid to call a cat a cat.

"Some do will see that waste where others will see of gold … When I saw this factory, I understood that it was an opportunity in pure gold of 24 carats ». From this investment, in association with Canadian industrialist Joseph Tanenbaum, Maurice Taylor has mounted an empire, redeeming over the years and worldwide, factories and activities that large groups as Goodyear abandoned.

Renamed Titan International, the group was introduced into scholarship in 1993. He today employs 3,600 people and its turnover approach 2 billion dollars. Maurice Taylor loves say that his style aggressive in respect of Wall Street analysts has earned him the nickname of "Grizzly».

It must be put in a institution and study its brain. He is not human. It is a extra-terrestrial ».

Maurice Taylor is not more diplomat with the U.S. government than it is with Bercy. "Who still believes what recount the politicians? It does mean anything. There has many egos to Washington.

We the see saying: "Put a tire Michelin on a tractor American, is like putting a beret on the head of a cowboy. Put a tire Japanese Firestone on a tractor American, is like making wear a kimono to farmer ".

The "grizzly» do not regret these About. "This is the truth at the time Michelin sold his agricultural tires to loss to United States. In our factories in India, one wants produce for the market local. This is what we do in Brazil also. It is necessary that consumers buy tires facts home ", we explains Maurice Taylor, without complex.

For the record, there are 2.5 million businesses with fewer than 20 employees in France who concentrate 66% of the workforce. And 94% of businesses are small businesses, employing less than 10 employees.

The salary of the head increases with the size of the company but never reach stratospheric heights. And he climbed to 77,270 euros for those whose numbers are between 20 and 50 people and barely exceeded 107,000 euros for more than 50 employees. All sizes and in all sectors, the average annual net earnings of a pattern of SMEs stood thus 65,200 euros, up 7.1% year on year. An average of 5433.33 per month. All sizes and in all sectors, CGPME estimated in 2010 to 138,760 the number of business leaders in France, down 11.4% compared to 2009 due to the high number of failures recorded this year.

Up ten points since 2011. But above attitudes have evolved. While 30% of French people considered "necessary" three years ago to back up to 65 years term the statutory retirement age, 60% are now convinced. A small majority left (52%) is even favorable – that is to say there changes had on the subject. In addition, two-thirds of employees over 50 years in favor of this reform. "As the need is proposed to ten years, many people think to escape," qualify the authors of the study.

Is this the result of some media trivia drama? In one year, the look that parents are on the Internet, especially social networks, is clearly tinged with anxiety.

At the heart of concerns, Facebook, the most popular social networks. It is used by 57% of 9-16 year olds and 80% of 13-16 years, according to a study by the American company Trend Micro security expert cloud. Her children spend an average of one hour per week for the youngest of them, and more than three hours for over 13 years. And, despite a growing concern: 79% of parents and 59% of children consider Facebook "dangerous."  

If fathers and mothers are always worried that their young become friends with adults who pretend to be children, ie they are in contact with pedophiles, adults are also more likely to fear that their children being harassed by other children. "If young people are ruthless them in the real world, this feeling is exacerbated on the Net where inhibitions are lifted," said Damase Tricart, European Marketing Director of Trend Micro.

Parental control bit used

Parents do not, however, remain inactive face their fears. They are more numerous (over a third) set themselves to the Facebook account of their children, especially in order to limit the people with whom they can contact.

Children aware of the "dangers" of the Net, also accepted more easily than their parents are "friends" with them on Facebook. "However, young people continue to engage real competition to see who has the most friends on Facebook, noted Damase Tricart. Which leads sometimes to accept anyone as a friend. The need to inform and explain the risks involved are real. "

In addition, children are more often observers actors on social networks. Their first activity on Facebook is watching what their friends, then they seek their friends and photos and finally they put online information or photos.

In contrast, parental control devices that can be bought, usually with a virus, are actually quite rarely used. The changing patterns of Internet access also reduces the possibility of direct control of parents. There are still two years, web access is made mostly from the PC, which could be installed in a room "common".

Now, more than 20% of young people have their own access to the Internet via a smartphone or tablet. To complicate matters, these terminals are inherently mobile, it becomes even more difficult for parents to monitor their children's use.

To listen socialists, new financial forecast shows that the COR Woerth pension reform of 2010 was not funded. To build the contours, the former Minister of Labour was based on the latest available ciphers payday loans. Updated forecasts …

On paper, the equation seemed simple enough: Spain has more than 800,000 empty homes, the legacy of the housing bubble that is still described "economic miracle" until the beginning of the crisis. The Spaniards, taken between unemployment affecting 25% of the active population, the restrictions of austerity and locking bank loans, not buying. The Spanish real estate, however, interested foreign investors. Europeans, but also Russians and Chinese, attracted by potential bargains in a country can guarantee the legal security of their investment.

The real estate sector in agony, believes keeping a remedy unexpected and begged the government to roll out the red carpet outside investors. Result: foreigners who buy property at least 160,000 euros, the average price of housing in Spain, will automatically get the right to reside.

The measure, announced in late November by the Secretary of State for Trade, surprised the Spaniards. Some saw it as a commodification of migration policy. A sale to the highest bidder, residence cards. But the initiative is presented as a solution of last resort to rescue the real estate disaster. Because the operations have collapsed since the start of the crisis in 2008, -28.8%, -24.9% and -17.7% in 2009 to 2011. Only the end of the tax incentives for the purchase of a home in 2011, anticipated by agents, explains a slight increase of 6.3% in 2010. And in view of the forecast (the European Commission expects a GDP contraction of 1.4% in 2013 and a slight growth of 0.8% in 2014), real estate agents do not believe that the situation will improve in the medium term.

Madrid, without hiding, aims Russian investors. Nationals of the Federation are those who have received the most Spanish visas last year, and the Spanish sun is one of their favorite destinations for a vacation stay.

But the Spanish government did not expect probably not angry reaction from another country, Morocco. The Ministry of Finance Alawite kingdom issued a statement to warn its citizens: "The acquisition of real estate abroad by persons ordinarily resident in Morocco is subject to prior approval" of the administration, said Rabat . Before inserting the nail: These permissions "are granted only in exceptional circumstances" and engage in a real estate transaction without the sesame "is an offense."

Support structures to Moroccan immigrants have not found enthusiasm for the measure. "The people who come to us do not have 160,000 euros to invest," they say, for example, the Association for Solidarity socio-professional integration of immigrants (Asisi). But the Spanish initiative could attract wealthier families, tired of red tape … and interested in this opportunity to place their savings abroad. A hypothesis that says the Moroccan press, the authorities of the country concerned, while foreign exchange reserves have fallen over the last twelve months, 21.5 billion dirhams (1.93 billion euro) 17 billion ( 1.53 billion euros).
