Breaks conventional still face a huge success in business. Since the introduction of this device in 2008, their number continues to grow at a rate of 20,000 to 24,000 per month, according to a recent memorandum the Ministry of Labour. After a strong scalability driven by the crisis, the number of monthly requests has indeed stabilized since the fourth quarter of 2009, so as to exceed the threshold of half a million to break out of court last February. In total, conventional breaks accounted for 11% of CDI in 2010 after 7% in the first half of 2009 and 10% in the second half.
Small businesses are particularly in demand of this device. In the second half of 2010, three quarters of conventional ruptures have been signed in companies with fewer than 50 employees, while they represent only half of total employment.Overall, more than one company is big, and the less it tends to resort to conventional rupture. In establishments with more than 250 employees, the break is only conventional and 5% for contracts, against 13% in establishments with fewer than 10 employees. In contrast, the amount of compensation increases with the size of the company. The amount paid per employee in 7430 was certainly high euro in 2009, but half of the employees has actually received little more than the statutory redundancy payment, below which firms can not fall .
Disguised early retirement
If smaller firms are attracted by the flexibility of the device, breaking "friendly" is also not without pitfalls. The high proportion of employees over 50 years involved calls for a diversion of the rupture conventional at the expense of Unedic.In the second half of 2010, the breakdown was 23% of the conventional reasons for termination for employees aged 58 to 59, against 8% of those under thirty years … so companies would use this system to be financed by the Insurance which is similar to put in early retirement.
In some cases, break "friendly" is also related to a dismissal. The report by Mathilde Lemoine and Etienne Wasmer on the mobility of employees said that the profile breaks conventional evolves quite parallel to that of redundancy. This observation would argue, according to the report, for use of the device in lieu of redundancy at the expense of employees.If the Ministry of Labour is responsible for control conventions and to avoid abuse, the lack of support for employees during the preliminary interviews, often in small businesses, not easy by regular use of the device.

Paris rally in Tokyo in 2:30. It may be possible around 2050. EADS, the parent company of Airbus, has initiated studies to develop a prototype that physically resembles the Concorde, whose last commercial flights stopped in 2003. The engine of the aircraft of the future for business travel with a capacity of 50 to 100 seats, would at once to fly at high speed while being environmentally friendly, since its goal is zero tailpipe emissions. It will take at least ten years of development before considering the first test flight.
The project is called ZEHST through a partnership between EADS, ONERA, the French aerospace research lab as well as Japan. A feasibility study financed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and its counterpart Japanese, was launched.It is based on the initial results of research carried out by Astrium, a subsidiary of the giant European space aeronautics, as part of its program of sub-orbital aircraft, the Space plane.
Three types of engines
The unit will have three types of engines already on the market that will be used during different phases of flight: take-off up to 5000 meters with a turbo-jet close enough to those fitted to aircraft today, but "these engines will be powered by biofuels third generation developed from growing algae so clean," said Jean Botti, chief technology officer of EADS business card design. When climbing in altitude beyond 20,000 feet at 0.8 Mach, the unit will use cryogenic engines such as the Ariane launcher, powered by hydrogen.Then for the transition to its high speed (mach 4) and a very high altitude (32,000 meters) use ZEHST called Ramjet engines (now fitted to cruise missiles). A model is on display at Le Bourget.
Meanwhile, EADS is working on another concept known as Voltaire, an all-electric machine whose engine would not be placed under the wings but in the tail. The wings would obey the principle of morphing itself adapting to the different phases of flight, said Jean Botti in substance. The device is designed to make short trips with 50 to 70 passengers.

Thousands of passengers were stranded on Tuesday morning in Scotland as a result of the eruption of Icelandic Grímsvötn, which continued Monday spit a heavy cloud of ash and begins to disrupt air traffic in northern Europe. Eurocontrol, the European organization for aviation security, announced that 252 flights were canceled Tuesday.
Indeed, while Europe's airspace remains open, some companies have already taken action. British Airways has decided, "a precaution" to ensure no link between London and Scotland until Tuesday 14h (local time). For its part, the Dutch company KLM canceled sixteen flights between Amsterdam and the northern United Kingdom and Air Lingus and Easyjet have suspended their relations towards Scotland and northern England. In contrast, the British government has ruled out a total closure of its airspace.The Irish Aviation has also ensured that "all airports remain open," although "some flights could be affected by restrictions imposed by other European service providers."
The Scandinavian countries are also affected. The cloud reached Tuesday western Norway and Denmark. However, according to the Norwegian operator of airports, the impact on air traffic remains "very limited" for now. Ashes should be extending south of the country by the end of the day. In Denmark, the airspace was closed below 6000 meters on north-west. Delays and cancellations were reported at the airport in Copenhagen.
'No threat' for France by Thursday
"The cloud should reach the end of the day on southern Scandinavia, Denmark and parts of northern Germany," Eurocontrol said Tuesday.It could then move to France and northern Spain in midweek, "if volcanic emissions continue unabated," says Eurocontrol. Information figaro.fr confirmed Monday by the French Pascal Scavina forecaster. Monday night, the Secretary of State for Transport has, however, wanted Thierry Mariani reassuring. "For the next 48 hours, there is no threat, no risk.From Thursday, all depend on the nature of the eruption, "he said on France 2.
After the eruption of Eyjafjöll a year ago, the scenario of complete paralysis of European airspace could it be repeated? According to Thierry Mariani, "it will not take any risks but we can certainly go through some clouds of ash without any damage to the engines and therefore without any risk."
On Monday, the force of the eruption of Grímsvötn was still considered "important" by the Icelandic Meteorological Services. If the main airport in Iceland, the Reykjavik-Keflavik, reopened Monday night, civil aviation was unable to say whether he would remain operational on Tuesday.

For Gap, the trading session which opens at the New York Stock Exchange will be very difficult. The clothing giant tumbles 17% in opening bell on Wall Street Friday. Gap said Thursday after the close that its annual results would be "significantly" worse than expected with a first quarter reported net income 23% lower than a year ago (233 million U.S. dollars) particularly impacted by the disaster on March 11 in Japan, the year already seems wrong party.
For the remainder of the year, Gap's performance will mainly be sealed by far outweigh the cost estimates on which was based management. "The group now expects that production costs per unit are 20% more expensive than anticipated in the second half of this year," said Glenn Murphy, the owner of Gap, in a statement.And even the price increases passed on its products will not help. Thus the net profit per share forecast for 2011 is now between 1.40 and 1.50 dollars, 1.88 to 1.93 against dollar before.
The cost increase is attributable to that in cotton. Pound of cotton surpassed the dollar in September (+65% in total over the year 2010) and continues its surge in currently trading at $ 1.60, amid global demand is not falling face a production which has been beset by bad weather.
The profit warning, issued by one of the largest textile groups in the world should thrill the sector as a whole. Especially as other major brands like H & M, struggling not to pass on these higher charges on their prices.The impact could be even heavier.

AREVA will be able to breathe. His former ally Siemens will pay him $ 648 million plus interest by a fortnight, following the breakdown of an agreement between the two groups. Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has in effect made public last night the penalty imposed by the German group for a case that began in March 2009.
Two years ago, Siemens has decided to withdraw from their joint venture Areva NP owned 34%, after failing to take a larger share. The German group did not then expected to reach an agreement with Areva output to form a new alliance with Russia's Rosatom nuclear.
Siemens has thus not met the terms of predetermined separation between the two groups no teletrek payday advance. The French decided to launch an arbitration against Siemens, liable to a penalty of 40% of the value of the shareholding of Areva NP.
The ITC has agreed with Areva and Siemens believes that has broken the pact of shareholders. The German group scoop the maximum penalty, a penalty of 40% of the value of its stake in Areva NP. The 34% share capital of Siemens Areva NP was valued 1.6 billion euros in March, when Areva took over Siemens' share in Areva NP.

Three and a half month break. Traditionally scheduled for June 15 statement, and therefore the simultaneous payment of the ISF, is unusually extended this year to 30 September. Additional time to consider the tax-free solutions. While the general principles remain the same, the practical, they, live.
• Combining the highest rate of tax reduction, 75%, and the highest ceiling taken into account, 50,000 euros, generosity proves the most profitable. To be considered, donations should be made for organizations listed in the law: including foundations of public benefit, research institutions or public or private higher education, and training businesses.
Despite the undeniable tax advantage given to them, foundations fear being victims of the new tax data.Without having exact figures, most of them believe that people who are outside the ISF this year are widely distributed among their donors. To cope with this situation, Charhon Francis, president of the French Center Foundation, calls on governments to increase the cap considered to 100,000 euros. Others, like the Little Brothers of the Poor, remind their donors that they may use the original formulas as temporary donation of usufruct. The property in question, whose incomes are sold for at least three years, no longer fall within the tax base to the ISF.
• Direct investment in SMEs is the second track the most effective in limiting the ISF. Now, only 50% of payments are taken into account as against 75% previously and the maximum amount deductible is planed from 50,000 to 45,000 euros.To prevent certain abuses of the past years, several types of SMEs have been excluded from the device. They are those engaged in real estate or financial activity and those that operate power generation by wind or solar. Note: It is possible to mix investments in SMEs and donations to foundations and accumulate wealth tax cuts. But the ceiling is taken into account for 45,000 euros and 50,000 euros, not as is the case for donations only.
• Other support for tax exemption, the FCIC and FIP are subject to new rules. These funds, which invest in unlisted companies, are eligible for a reduction in ISF of 50% of the share invested in eligible SMEs in the limit to 18,000 euros. New constraints were imposed this year.They have no such opportunity to focus on certain sectors, such as art, jewelry, wine cellars, renewable energy.
The FCIC must invest at least 60% of their assets in eligible SMEs in the abatement of ISF, but they have a room for the rest of their investments. Some FCIC or FIP continue to use it to diversify some of their assets in listed securities. Others prefer to invest in eligible SMEs all capital raised. "This helps to maximize the tax benefit.Indeed, only the portion of the assets of FIP or FCIC invested in unlisted SMEs entitles the ISF reduction of 50%, "says Fabrice Imbault, managing partner of A Plus Finance.

This Friday at 11 am, the Professional Football League (LFP) will kick off the award of broadcasting rights of football championship of France from 2012 to 2016. The stakes are high, because these fees represent 668 million euros per year for professional clubs. This year is the outstanding total. On the one hand, the LFP to maximize its revenue, on the other Canal +, L1 traditional broadcaster, wants to reduce his bill, a current amount of 460 million euros. In 1999 and 2004, the LCS had raised the stakes by pitting Canal + and TPS. GST but was bought by Canal +. In 2008, the LCS had found a new ally with Orange which spent 208 million per year for the big game on Saturday evening and mobile rights. But Stephane Richard, the new CEO of France Telecom, has thrown in the towel. Canal + remains only candidate.
Between the LFP and Canal +, a real dialogue of the deaf.From the outset, the encrypted string against this plague tender premature and believes that she wants only to maintain its current offer with the big game Sunday night and three magazines. For his part, Frederic Thiriez, president of the LFP, claims that the outcome of the tender should be equal or superior to 668 million today. The economic equation is complicated: how to achieve this amount if Canal + does not put more than 460 million? The hole is potentially 200 million.
Prize Structure
"Not at all," Jean-Pierre Louvel tempers, chairman of the Union of Professional Football Clubs UCPF. "With the explosion of smartphones, the mobile may be worth lot more than the current 60 million paid for by Orange. Secondly, the LFP can make its product more attractive by improving its exposure with a game Friday night and a special day during the winter break, "he says online payday loan lenders.In fact, the LFP and the law firm Clifford Chance should put together a bid with many prizes: a match on Friday evening, a Saturday afternoon games on Saturday evening, a Sunday at 2:00 p.m. , games on late Sunday afternoon and the big poster on Sunday evening. Added to this lot and the three mobile magazines.
Canal + contends that the splitting of lots reduced the value of the whole and that the chain can not explain the matches from Friday evening to Sunday evening on the air. Above all, the group believes that the key is not lots but structuring the necessary reform of financing of French football. This can mean a reduction from 20 to 18 clubs of L1 and a lower financing League 2 which receives 19% of the amount of football rights, or 120 million euros per year.Clearly, to reduce the bill of football, Canal + offers to save on money paid to the L2 and concentrate on the manna of human L1 18 clubs instead of 20. Categorically rejected suggestions by Jean-Pierre Louvel the UCPF. "The L2 is used to form the top players and eliminate two clubs L1 would have serious consequences on the regional economy." But the big clubs, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, Bordeaux, Paris … might be tempted by a championship tighter.
The tender may thus be complicated. The LFP has put a reserve price on all lots, it might be unsuccessful. Negotiation of mutual agreement between the LFP and Canal + could then be opened. And if all lots not find a buyer, the LFP has the possibility to expose some matches on its TNT channel future pay, CFoot.This channel will be widely distributed on satellite and cable ADSL and fans can subscribe to monthly or deed.
Sad record. In France, more than a third of all software installed on PCs in 2010 was pirated, according to the latest study by Business Software Alliance (BSA), an international group of software publishers. This represents a market value of 1.9 billion euros, on a global market estimated at 9.5 billion euros. "The retail market is worse than that of businesses, but it is more difficult to control," said Eric Beaurepaire, a member of BSA.
Worldwide, software piracy generates a shortfall of 44 billion and ten billion for Europe alone. The United States is the country where the loss in value is most important, accounting for 7.1 billion euros. But in some "small" European countries, legislation and a little flexible when the market is still underdeveloped, the piracy rate is approaching 70%, as in Bulgaria or Romania.More generally, emerging markets are at a peak, with a piracy rate 2.5 higher than in mature markets, with a total value estimated at 21.7 billion euros.
At the head office and messaging
Pirated software the most concern the office and mail systems. What makes Microsoft the publisher the most penalized. Exposure correlated with its market share. The case of misuse is the most common deployment abusive (a company buys a license for 100 PCs and installs it on 200). "Cases of pure piracy, with the use of unlicensed software, are more rare," says Eric Beaurepaire.
This does not prevent users or even entire departments of large private companies fraudulently install software on their devices, possibly bypassing the procedures established by IT departments."Such practices can have dramatic consequences for societies. Pirated software can be corrupted with viruses … "insists Eric Beaurepaire. Not to mention the risk of financial penalties for the company.
Departments also
In France, where industry, technical fields and those related to the creation on the Internet appear to be less virtuous, no area is spared, not even the utility or ministries! Moreover, there is no real correlation between the rate of software piracy and its price. The most expensive are not necessarily the most coveted.Thus, security software, which does not always worth a score of euros, are not copied less than for professionals, which can be worth several thousand euros.
Paradoxically, the French might be followers of illegal copying, they say they are also very sensitive to the respect of intellectual property. A poll conducted by Ipsos for the BSA found that 68% of French people support the remuneration of inventors the world average is 71%. Aware of the risks of "software purchased on the street or" borrowed "between friends", the French, however, not hesitate to perform multiple installations, they do not perceive a real fraud.The advantages of software legally acquired access to technical assistance, protection against intruders … not enough to convince either the French users, less sensitive than the rest of the world to these arguments.

Rumor conveyed by the German magazine Der Spiegel that Greece had threatened on Friday to leave the eurozone was denied on all sides. "A provocation" by the Greek Minister of Finance, a "dumb idea" according to the chairman of the Eurogroup Jean-Claude Juncker, a "completely fanciful hypothesis" for Bercy.
However, the financial position of Greece has indeed been raised on Friday at an informal meeting in Luxembourg, attended by several Ministers of Finance of the euro area, Christine Lagarde, and his counterparts from Germany, Italy, Spanish and Greek. At that point also to the subjects on the agenda – aid to Portugal, the regulation of financial markets, the successor of Jean-Claude Trichet as head of the ECB – "have not even been processed, lack of time, "says Les Echos on its website on Saturday, citing" a source described as European. "
Accelerating privatization
At the heart of discussions among members of the euro area, the ability of Greece to honor the commitments made in the context of assistance of 110 billion euros granted by the EU and the IMF a year ago. According to Les Echos, the Europeans have been willing, in exchange for new measures of fiscal adjustment, to pay 20 euros to 25 billion additional to Greece, where they would prove insufficient.
A sum which would, according to business daily, covering almost all the financing needs of the country in 2012. With a deficit recently revised upwards to 10.5% of GDP against 9.4% previously, it seems unlikely that in Greece reaches, as originally envisaged, to borrow again by itself on the market bond in 2012 no teletrack payday loans.
Previously, the Greeks will make new efforts, however, warned the Europeans. Including accelerating the ongoing privatization. While the report had planned disposals of EUR 2 billion in 2012, "it will take much more raking Athens, about 25 billion by 2013," said the European source quoted by Les Echos. "If these measures are not sufficient, Greece should further tighten the screws tax," she added.
Debt restructuring again rejected
However, the assumption of a debt restructuring Greek seems once again rejected by the participants.While Lars Feld, one of economic advisers to Angela Merkel on Sunday felt that the restructuring was "the only way forward so that Greece is a little relieved that creditors and help to solve the Greek problem" President of the Eurogroup Jean-Claude Juncker reiterated after the meeting that such an option was excluded.
Greek newspapers have relayed their side, however, the slopes on Saturday morning "workout" soft "after they discussed Friday. The opportunity for Greece not to pay interest rate for two years in exchange rate subsequently increased, or lengthening the duration of bonds maturing in 2011 and 2012 have been particularly considered. The financial situation of Greece will once again be the next meeting of the Eurogroup on 16 May.

Doubts seize the oil markets this weekend. On the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex), the price of a barrel of light sweet crude for June delivery broke down the psychological barrier of $ 100 on Thursday. He confirmed his decline at the close on Friday. After a session of ups and downs, it closed at 97.18 dollars.
On the whole week, the barrel has lost 14.7%. This is the largest decline in weekly percentage terms since the week 19 December 2008 when prices fell by 26.8%.Prices had not changed at these levels since March 16, when the uprisings in the Arab world and worry about the nuclear crisis in Japan had made prices soar.
The downward trend is the same on the Intercontinental Exchange in London where a barrel of Brent North Sea crude for June delivery traded at 108.42 dollars, down 2.38 dollars compared to Thursday. These days, the decline was due to analysts' pessimism about the future numbers of jobs overseas.
Surprise contradictory indicators, the U.S. economy created more jobs than expected in April (244,000). Nevertheless, a barrel continued to decline in early trading, before settling at around 99.45 dollars in mid jouréne in New York.Job creation does not erase the bad macroeconomic indicators released in recent days, suggesting that the recovery remains fragile.
On Thursday, investors are learning that new jobless claims in the United States increased sharply during the last week of April, 474,000 applications for allocations, while economists were expecting a decline. The day before, the numbers of firm ADP showed that job creation in the private sector in the United States slowed in April, well below forecasts of economists.
These announcements point to a decline in oil demand in a context of high oil prices. In addition, a continued rise in U.S. oil inventories, which should have been starting to fall a few months of the summer of large displacements.
In this context, the sharp rise in the dollar makes things worse.Thursday disappointed by the decision of the ECB not to raise interest rates next month, traders got rid of their euros. Result: the single currency, which was worth $ 1.49 yesterday, falling almost 2% to 1.4547 dollar. A situation which penalizes the purchase of dollar-denominated crude and thus rendered less attractive.
