An agreement was reached between three parties, conservatives, socialists and a small leftist party, for a two-year interim government charged with implementing the austerity program "criminal" in Greece, said Sunday the leader of the left radical.

"Three parties have agreed on a plan to a government two years to implement the agreement on the loan (rescue of Greece). They have 168 MPs in the new Parliament, they have the majority, "said Alexis Tsipras, leader of Syriza, after 90 minutes of crisis talks with the Socialists and conservatives around President Karolos Papoulias.

The leaders of these parties had not raised any agreement after the meeting, the Socialist Evangelos Venizelos ensuring no more than a "limited optimism" after talks concluded in "deadlock", his Conservative counterpart Antonis Samaras explaining its Syriza side that refused to compromise. "I made every effort to achieve global cooperation," he told reporters.

If the agreement was officially no new legislative election would be held and the assumption that the country out of the euro area would move away temporarily.

"Vote and go anyway!" Displays the travel agency Nouvelles Frontieres, "Vote by proxy and win a free night for two nights and get" diffuse the tourist office in Les Sables d'Olonne, "Voting is open its mouth but better "placards at all is a sign of fast food in ten different languages, while the ski resort of Chamrousse proposed his" ski pass citizen "and that the General Council of Essonne offered tickets to a rugby match to persons who have completed their duty to vote. In short, all the slogans that incentives, like ideas, no lack of originality in recent weeks. The objective is twofold: to reduce abstention but also generate additional revenue, or at least ride the wave of presidential elections.  

When the ballot becomes a ski day

The tourist office in Chamrousse (Isère) has understood that he had a vested interest in dragging this track one: "We decided to align the end of the ski season with the day of the first round of presidential elections , by implementing a package to a Euro on presentation of the electoral map duly stamped "says Medhi Kerbati, director of the tourist office. Obviously, he had to get up early to vote at a time and enjoy a sunny day of skiing. The Director welcomes further: "In 2007, we sold between 300 and 350 pass the same day, while on Sunday we have been almost 4,000 packages a day, including 2800 'skipass citizens'." Therefore a boon to the small station with 90 km tracks. It would be even one of the best days of the season.  

Discounts or freebies appreciated

In Roubaix (North), fast food Burger Food Familiy partnered with the association "Brigade civic action" to grant 10% discount for two rounds of elections, upon presentation of the electoral map stamped. The manager, Ahmed Meguedmi, was very satisfied with the effects of operation: "We found that customers who were not usually crossed our doors, especially young people, but our clientele is 80% family time normal. On April 22, traffic on our restaurants increased by 30-40% compared to other Sundays, "he says cheap pay day loans. An approach more citizen when one remembers that Roubaix had obtained the record abstention in the first round of regional elections in 2010, over 71%. In the first round of this year's presidential, abstention remained high at 31.43%.

In the wake of the fight against abstention, in Arles and Aix-en-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhone), the taxi company and Co-bikes Taco has offered to the two rounds of elections free transport customers to their polling station. Was free from 8h to 13h, and the operation has been very positive as explained Aldric Monteux, co-manager of the company: "We were able to combine a citizen but also environmentally friendly, while trying to reduce the abstention. We have carried twenty, or forty trips. This was especially the elderly or people then cut transport, which would probably not displaced. "  

Campaigns sometimes left fallow

Another tourist office, that of Les Sables d'Olonne (Vendee), capitalized on an extended operation on the four weekends of presidential and legislative elections, of offering a third night for people who have established an attorney. In agreement with a dozen providers, the business case put forward here is quite as indicated Dixte Mathieu, marketing manager of the site of the tourist office: "We launched the operation on March 28 because not only the elections Presidential is a drag but tourism and more at this time we still see a drop in attendance of around 15-20%. It was a way to both promote our destination, and encourage people to vote. "  

The only cloud on the table: because of bad weather, the impact has been almost nil, although the website of the tourist office in question recorded an increase of nearly 17,000 visits over the same period (March 24 to 23 April) compared to last year. The operation, in turn, drained 1600 visits since the beginning of the operation.

This is the social security scheme for employees and students. It covers 57 million French people, more than 87% of the population. It also funds 86% of health spending in the country, with resources from mainly social contributions (48%) and CSG (36%).

In 2010, the CPAM (Caisse primary health insurance) paid 142 billion euros in benefits, an average of € 5,260 per person. This total includes:

-Benefits in kind: reimbursement of medical expenses, hospital fees …

-Cash benefits: daily allowances of sickness.

Its current deficit was 18.6 billion euros.

Note: the local scheme of comprehensive health insurance benefits paid by Medicare for the inhabitants of Alsace (Haut-Rhin, Bas-Rhin) and Moselle.  

The agricultural system

The agricultural system provides both operators (attached to the AMEXA) and agricultural workers. It is managed by the MSA (MSA). It protects 3.5 million beneficiaries and $ 28 billion benefit in 2010, € 4670 per person per year. As for the general scheme, this amount includes benefits in kind and cash. Reimbursements for medical expenses are also identical. Its deficit is currently $ 1.4 billion.

Namely: the scheme provides not only those working on farms, but also employees of service companies in connection with the agricultural community, as insurance or banking.

The social system of independent (RSI)

This plan administers health insurance for artisans, merchants and professionals. However, it manages itself as contributions. Indeed, the repayments are in turn delegated to agencies under contract who are insurers or mutual. It covers 3.5 million beneficiaries who receive benefits 6.8 billion.

The reimbursement of medical expenses and hospitalization are again identical to those of employees. However, some professions, such as professionals, do not receive any daily allowances in case of sickness.

The special insurance

Certain sectors or companies, for historical reasons, developed their own health insurance. They are special diets. There are 11 in total, among which are the regimes of sailors, soldiers, mining companies (which merged with the basic plan to end 2013), SNCF, RATP, the gas industry and electricity, the Bank of France, clerks and employees of notaries … But also the Paris Opera, the Port of Bordeaux, the National Assembly or the Senate.

All these schemes are grouped in the National Union Special (UNRS). They cover a total of about 5 million people. Reimbursements for medical expenses are generally identical to those of employees. However, some plans offer more benefits.

Two billion euros. The Intermat 1350 exhibitors, which was held from April 16 to 21 in Villepinte near Paris, have not mégoté their investments as they exposed construction machinery and construction worth a total of 2 billion. "This very large sum shows business optimism this year," explains Maryvonne Lanoë, commissioner general of the show.

This event is the meeting point for all actors of the French markets, Southern Europe and North Africa. "The trend is quite good, says Philippe Haugenauer, Sales Director France of Japanese Komatsu. We have seen the show many people who have projects, although few orders were signed on the spot. "With a turnover of EUR 18 billion, the Japanese group is the second largest manufacturer of equipment BTP in the world.

Strong rebound of the market

Reinforces a sense that the latest figures released by manufacturers. "The aggregate producers, who are our customers, have a very good first quarter, so a little unexpected," says Michel Herr, CEO of France Sandvik, the Swedish group specializing in drills and milling machines. The reason: the great works decided by the government after the 2009 crisis. "We take advantage of highway construction and high-speed lines, including those linked to Tours and Bordeaux, Michel Herr says. This allows us to benefit from a good order book for the second quarter. However, we lack visibility for the future. "

Despite its 15% growth in its European business in the first quarter, Saubot Alexander, general manager of Haulotte Group, Europe's leading manufacturer of aerial work platforms, believes that "this increase is lower than it should be given the fall market in Europe since 2009. " The activity is still far from the highest recorded in 2007 and 2008. Above all, Europe pales in terms of total growth over the period of Haulotte: 24%.

"The strong rebound in the global market for public works equipment recorded in 2010, to 17%, and 2011, 24%, is due in part because it had collapsed by 50% between 2008 and 2009" , said Maryvonne Lanoë. The activity remains well below the pre-crisis level.

"There are many projects, the problem is now often funding," says Philippe Haugenauer elsewhere. Dynamism that allows Buronfosse Renaud, chief representative of ICASA, the union representing the manufacturers of construction machinery, metallurgy and handling, be optimistic for the current year: "We envision an increase of business activity of the profession of 5 to 7% in 2012. "

The sum is still small, but she will have to grow strongly in coming years. In 2011, e-commerce subsidiary of the SNCF has made 88 million euros in business volume, that is the sum of all transactions in Europe via its website tgv-europe . com.

It is still only a drop of water, compared to 3.2 billion euros in business volume generated by all of Voyages-sncf.com last year. To achieve this, the company sold 60 million tickets in 2011, against 54 million in 2010. The site selling online has passed 30% of all tickets sold by its parent.

Yves Tyrode, the CEO of Voyages-sncf.com, however, appreciate "the dynamism of European sales, which rose 24% between 2010 and 2011." And he expects to win market share in Europe. He especially appreciates the fact that success in Europe "can bring foreigners in France, and increase the number of nights."

In June, applications for the iPhone will be launched in Germany, Spain, Belgium and Switzerland. This is a real driver for growth: last year, 20% of connections on the site in France came from a mobile phone, even if the transaction rate is lower, only 4% easy to get unsecured personal loans.

Investment in a search engine

The success of the destination France also explains the restoration of the branch "travel agency" of society. "After four years of downturn, we stabilized the volume of business of the travel agency at 224 million euros," said Yves Tyrode. The success was important to offer camping (53%) and package deals (15%).

"The role of France as a destination should be confirmed in 2012, said Yves Tyrode yet. This is one factor that allows us to target new growth of our business this year. "

Travel sncf.com do not hesitate to invest elsewhere on this theme. In March, the company took a 45% stake in Hexatourisme, a search engine designed to promote France as a tourist destination worldwide. On this project, the subsidiary of SNCF is alongside the Deposit (which owns 45% stake) and Maison de la France (10%), the public agency for tourism development of France. "We are still in a phase of investment, even if the site is already being tested," said Yves Tyrode.

For Jardiland, spring is even more active this year. At the end of the most important commercial of the year, the second network of garden centers by turnover and number of stores (205 and 14 abroad) should welcome a new shareholder. Indeed, Batipart, the investment company of the family Ruggieri, who holds 35% stake in Jardiland, wishes, according to our information, disengage. Charles Ruggieri, who was among the players in the development of FDR and significant shareholder of Korian, has invested 122 million euros.

The Conte family that owns about 65% of it's famous sign is not in a position to buy such participation. Concerned about the future capital of the company, the family that controls the capital, however, commissioned in autumn 2010 Lazard to find a buyer for 35% stake in Batipart even to consider a global sale of the company , according to several sources. When asked, the president of Jardiland confirms the mandate of Lazard, but dismisses any idea of ​​surrender and advance another scenario: "We are seeking capital for our development, especially internationally," says Michel Conte, who hopes to complete Operation "before the end of the first half."

The option Truffaut

Contacts with LBO funds, however, reinforce the idea of ​​a significant operation in the capital. "Last year, twenty funds have shown interest Jardiland, this sleeping beauty. Four are still interested, PAI, Astorg Equistone and Axa Private Equity, "says a close case. The latter held the rope – appointment is made with the management Jardiland for mid-April – but nothing is signed yet.

Interested stumble over two problems: "these funds are all taking majority stakes, but the family would retain control Conte," said a relative of one of the funds short term personal loan. According to our information, the Director General, Guilhem Porcheron, was notably landed last October for trying to demonstrate that the wish of the family was unrealistic.

The other sticking point is the price. "Usually, we value the garden 6-7 times EBITDA (gross operating surplus, Ed), more than the DIY networks. However, in Jardiland, the cost reduction program has not given any results, "said another speaker in the folder. The ebitda of Jardiland fell last year, reaching about 30 million euros for a turnover of 811 million euros. "Jardiland worth about 350 million euros, but the value of the ticket to capital remains to be defined. For funds also, capital is scarce and they are very vigilant, "the source added.

The future of Jardiland is closely followed by all market participants. And especially Truffaut, Louis Delhaize Group subsidiary, which also holds the Cora hypermarkets and supermarkets Match. Reportedly, the sign of the family Bourriez, very present in the Ile-de-France, the file would look again. Truffaut had already considered, two years ago, to buy its rival, to cover the territory. "There is no proposed merger of any order between Truffaut and Jardiland," says one, however Truffaut. Same response in Jardiland. "Doing so much sense, but the family Bourriez only lacks the necessary funds. The sale of Cora in Hungary was partly necessary to repay some debts, "says a close family. Find the ideal candidate for Jardiland seems difficult.

The Chinese do not like only the French luxury products, but also focus on the simplest of materials, like wood. Thursday, the National Federation of the wood (FNB) has protested against China's imports of logs, the logs were felled with cut branches but still covered with bark.

"Since 2007, Chinese imports of logs have soared, says Lawrence Denormandie, president of FNB. In 2008, China imported about 30,000 cubic meters of logs in French oak. In the first half of 2011, imports stood at 121,000 cubic meters. "

Log prices upward

Chinese companies import raw product, and then transform it into boards and furniture, which are then exported to Europe. China's economic growth partly explains the growing need for wood, but also points Denormandie Lawrence "the Chinese authorities' desire to protect their own resources." The fear comes mostly from the accelerated movement. "Currently 15% of the volume of oaks harvested in France go to China, as against only 6-7% just four years, warns douzain Nicolas-Didier, managing director of the FNB. For beech, the volumes exported to China account for 10 to 12% of production, against 5-6% previously. "

This phenomenon affects first sawmills. "These purchases push log prices upward," complains Julliot Dominique, president of the sawmills Together Châlonnais. FNB advances up 20% for oak and beech to 15% last year. "The difficulty in obtaining timber under normal conditions begin to threaten the supply of certain French sawmills," says Dominique Julliot.

"We want reciprocity agreements"

It then becomes difficult to invest in new machinery or upgrading facilities. Consequence: mill closures are accelerating. Between 2008 and 2010, their number decreased by almost 11% in the Hexagon.

"We do not require a cessation of exports, however, plays Lawrence Denormandie. We want reciprocity agreements. "China has implemented a series of import taxes, low on logs and becoming stronger as we get closer to the finished product, designed to protect domestic industries . There are none in Europe. "Quotas for export would not be a bad idea," says Lawrence Denormandie.

Monitoring greenhouse tomatoes by computer processing of GPS fields, sales of wheat on the futures market … French farmers have nothing to do with their ancestors. Now they are showing their attachment to the land of a sudden high-tech.Plus question, for example, to sow the fly in vegetable and grain farms. The embedded software on tractors is more effective. Sebastien Objois, wheat producer in Evry, came to be convinced to stand agricultural equipment of the Exhibition of Agriculture. He witnessed a demonstration of interest Farmstar, which uses data from satellites SPOT 4 and SPOT 5. With this system, a digital pad and connected to the preprogrammed drill or spray can, depending on the characteristics of the field, sow more or less dense or spread more or less treatment.

"With board computerized equipment in the tractor plugged Spot 4 and Spot 5, you can sow your field with an accuracy of 2 centimeters," says Michel Fuga, who came to promote the Farmstar Porte de Versailles. Advantage for growers: Pesticide use is reduced by 5-15%. This saving can be amortized over three years the cost of equipment (about 15,000 euros).

More free time

Technological advances also benefit dairy farmers. With milking robots, the constraints of the morning and evening disappear. The cows go by themselves to trafficking. "The monitoring of the herd is behind the screen using a special software," says Eric Swartvagher, administrator ANEFA, National Association for the employment and training in agriculture.

Computers are also present in vegetable greenhouses. "Eating tomatoes above ground is now available from a computer, which controls the amount of water and air," says Angelique Delahaye, president of France and producer of vegetables in Touraine.

It is not enough to produce, we also sell the goods. The use of futures market or delayed deliveries, and a deadline for a given price, is becoming more common. "I practiced for several months to sell my pigs and to buy my food. But it took me to form, "says Philippe Upstream, pig farmer in Brittany.

"These new techniques not only meet the objective of increasing yields, and therefore income, but also a willingness of farmers to benefit from free time and family life close to those of society," said Christophe Malvezin, Agricultural Counselor, Embassy of France in Washington and former agricultural adviser of Nicolas Sarkozy.

Despite these advances, the French agriculture still has a wide margin for improvement. "While the United States, 80% of crops are produced by biotechnology, in France it is delayed, concludes Guy Vasseur, president of the Permanent Assembly of Chambers of Agriculture (APCA). France can not be a spectator in this area of ​​what is happening in the world. "

680,000 visitors to the agricultural show this year

Vintage 2012 International Exhibition of Agriculture (SIA) is very good. "We record 680,000 visitors, slightly more than last year," says Jean-Luc Poulain, president of SIA. This figure could be revised upwards as a computer bug has disrupted the counting inputs. "Merchants have never worked so hard that Wednesday, we recorded one of the lowest attendance days, with 55,000 entries," says Jean-Luc Poulain. The Friday night has been successful in statistics, with nearly 107,000 visitors for the biggest day of the show. Again this year, the SIA will remain the largest agricultural fair in the world with this feature: together in one place all the farm animals.
