			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Gran Via, Saturday afternoon, thousands of Madrid overflowing sidewalks to rob the shops in the center. Plaza Santa Ana customers compete tables for a drink and some tapas &#8230; According to a recent survey, 68% of Spaniards say they are happy despite the economic depression. The Spanish crisis is a strange crisis. Five million unemployed, a growing debt to half-mast and the edge of the alert levels, but the fiesta continues. On the surface, anyway. </p>
<p> The costs of the crisis, in fact, are unevenly distributed. On the one hand, those who keep their job. Possibly concerned about the situation, their objective situation has changed little since the crisis began, three years ago. On the other, 21.5% of those unemployed, whose number is increasing. Poorly defended, forgotten unions, their suffering is silent.The bank is threatening to enter the apartment of the family, a three bedroom 45 m2 Carabanchel, a neighborhood south of Madrid <a href="http://us-no-fax-payday-loans.com">online payday loans</a><!-- . -->. &quot;A desahucio&quot; expulsion of more. In 2010, 100,000 Spanish families were evicted four times in 2007! </p>
<p> Caritas, the equivalent of Catholic Relief Services, published three years the results of the Observatory of social reality. The figures are more alarming each year than the previous year. Juan Jose Lopez, the research department of the NGO, said the number of persons received by Caritas has more than doubled since 2007: 950,000 people have knocked on the door of the association in 2010 against 400,000 three years ago. &quot;The situation worsens and becomes chronic.&quot; </p>
<p> If the threat is executed, Alejandro is considering several options. &quot;Yes I Can camp, but my mother is 60 years old.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> All will be played Wednesday. &quot;No decision will be announced following the summit of the euro area, which takes place this Sunday late afternoon in Brussels, although work is progressing well,&quot; said Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel in a joint press conference after a meeting of leaders of 27 countries of the European Union. French President and German Chancellor said that the work &quot;techniques&quot; were still to be completed by the new top of the euro area on Wednesday. The summit will be preceded by another meeting of twenty-seven, they said. &quot;Work is progressing well on the banks of the support fund and the potential use of this fund. The assumptions are tightening and a broad agreement is taking shape. &quot; </p>
<p> On the issue of Greece, progress, assured the leaders without giving details.The stabilization of the indebted country will pass through international loans and additional losses of creditor banks in the country. Europe the figure to at least 50%. According to the report of the troika (representatives of the EU, the ECB and the IMF), the discount should be 60% to maintain unchanged the envelope of € 109 billion promised to Greece, as part a second rescue plan officially recorded on July 21. </p>
<p> Main stumbling block between Paris and Berlin, the transformation of the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF) in the bank, which insisted on France, finally does more of the options considered by the finance ministers of the single currency. The idea was that the Paris Fund bank can borrow from the European Central Bank. &quot;The two options still on the table to strengthen the EFSF do not involve the ECB,&quot; confirmed the German Chancellor.This leaves two options: either the mechanism acts as a partial insurance of the public debt of troubled countries or the IMF is expected to increase its participation in the scheme. </p>
<p> In another area, &quot;the work is progressing well on the recapitalization of banks,&quot; said Nicolas Sarkozy, again without providing details on the proposed solutions. Countries of the European Union discussed a budget from 107 to 108 billion euros at the meeting of finance ministers on Saturday night. &quot;Banks must find the money markets,&quot; stressed Angela Merkel. </p>
<p> Finally, the pressure on Italy is maximum. The two leaders urged the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, with whom they met ahead of the summit, for it to decisively implement a program of growth and debt reduction Alps <a href="http://payday-4all.com">no fax payday advances</a><!-- . -->.&quot;I hope that decisions will be taken (&#8230;) Italy is a major economic force but it has a very high public debt should be reduced in a credible manner in the years to come,&quot; says Angela Merkel . Nicolas Sarkozy has outbid by saying that Paris and Berlin were &quot;confident sense of responsibility of all the Italian authorities&#39; political, financial and economic.&quot; </p>
<p> &quot;Do not repeat the mistakes of the past&quot;
<p> &quot;We must work differently in the future,&quot; said Angela Merkel. German Chancellor said that we should not &quot;repeat the mistakes of the past.&quot; The problem of the euro area far exceeds that of Greece, she hammered, emphasizing the need for each country to conduct &quot;a tighter fiscal policy.&quot;The President of the European Union, Herman Van Rompuy, confirmed on Sunday that the EU treaty could be modified to improve the functioning of the euro area. &quot;The aim is to deepen our economic union and strengthen our fiscal discipline,&quot; he said. </p>
<p> Europe is facing economically to &quot;serious challenges&quot;, said Herman Van Rompuy, at the opening of the EU summit this morning. He felt that the decisions to be taken by EU leaders to deal with were &quot;perhaps the most important&quot; they&#39;ve ever had to face the financial crisis. Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, had also felt it was &quot;time&quot; to take &quot;decisive and effective.&quot; &quot;It is clear that the crisis (debt) is not Greek. This is a European crisis, &quot;he judged.</p>
<p> For its part, the Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme had tried hard not announce anything at all on Sunday, in light of market pressure. &quot;It is essential for tomorrow morning at the opening of markets, we have made sufficient progress so as not to jeopardize the credibility of the euro area,&quot; he said. Same story for the European partners have not adopted the single currency, which are concerned about the fallout from the debt crisis. &quot;The crisis in the euro area is being extended to all our economies, including that of Great Britain &#39;, launched the British Prime Minister David Cameron. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> This morning, the Superior Audiovisual Council (CSA) summoned the three news channels continuously BFM TV, iTV and LCI for a wake-up call muscular. The subject? These chains have gone far beyond the time allowed the Socialist Party (PS) during the primaries. The rule of speaking time issued by the CSA requires TV stations to give the parliamentary opposition (PS), a talk time of 50% that of the majority bloc. Settlement takes place on three months of information for newspapers and magazines for six months of information. </p>
<p> However, the CSA noted that the period from 1 July to 30 September, the news channel did not respect this balance on newspapers for information.&quot;ITV has given the opposition parliamentary speaking time 146% higher than that of the majority, BFMTV gave 142% and 130% LCI! Unheard of at this level &quot;protests Christine Kelly, a member of the CSA in charge of the case. &quot;The time allowed to PS was significantly exceeded&quot; acknowledges CEO Guillaume Dubois BFMTV. &quot;We have given priority to the information. Now the case has raised the antenna DSK in July and August, the Senate elections and primaries PS mobilized in September. We invited representatives of the majority but they decided to be discreet &quot;defends Guillaume Dubois. &quot;It&#39;s not the fault of having warned replies Christine Kelly. I have met for the first time in July and I have warned against a possible slip of the Senate and the primary &quot; </p>
<p> Tomorrow morning, the CSA will meet in plenary session.Constable Audiovisual could decide on a formal channels of information. &quot;It&#39;s a yellow card. But if they start, then the CSA will release a red card and take sanctions &quot;warns Christine Kelly, a member of the CSA. </p>
<p> However, the CSA notes that most other television and radio all have fully complied with the instructions. On the side of France Televisions, which also broadcast the primaries in two news magazines, the balance was followed. Information for newspapers, counters ended September 30 show that the parliamentary opposition bloc has 51% of speaking time points Thierry Thuillier, the Director of Information of France Televisions.The new review period from 1 October to 31 December, France Televisions ensure balance time for the presidential majority, including calling Francois Fillon to 20 hours of JT France 2 tonight. </p>
<p> For news magazines, France Televisions has until Dec. 31 to offset the 4:45 discussion devoted to the primaries. Already Alain Juppe had been invited for two hours in the program &quot;The words and actions&quot; on September 30. Tonight, the program &quot;Crossword&quot; lasting 80 minutes will receive a majority of three personalities: Lionel Luca, Chantal Jouanno and Herve Morin. Finally, France Television is negotiating for an intervention of Nicolas Sarkozy on October 24.In this case, if the head of state talking about the crisis of the euro or Greek debt, his time is not counted, however if he talks about domestic policy, then the speaking time will be taken into account. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> After a lull last week, financial markets have plunged sharply Monday. Concerned about the lack of strong commitment of European finance ministers to support Greece, this weekend, and surprised by the tensions between Europe and the United States, investors are more likely to feel inevitable a lack of Athens. In Paris the CAC 40 index fell 3% while the German Dax gave up 2.83%. Again, it is the banks that were hardest attack. </p>
<p> The declaration on Sunday night on TF1, former IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, for whom &quot;we must accept to recognize that we must take his loss&quot; of Greece was the effect of bomb.&quot;Hearing that DSK four months ago the IMF also urged new funding for Greece say the exact opposite now shows how events have turned,&quot; says Bruno Cavalier, chief economist at Oddo Securities. For the latter, there is a &quot;real tired of the financial markets who want to wipe the slate clean once and for all to get back on firmer footing.&quot; </p>
<p> A feeling evident in a survey by Barclays Capital from major global investors. They are 24% think that the current crisis will lead to a breakup of the euro area. Over 60% of them believe that the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF) will be insufficient to resolve the debt crisis.Although little scientific significance, such polls show the amount of work to be done now to reassure the magnitude of the crisis. </p>
<p> Bercy wants to reassure
<p> France, Monday it is used by the voice of its Minister of Economy Baroin for which a default of Greece &quot;is not a working hypothesis.&quot; At Bercy we stick to the same line of defense when all European countries have adopted the plan of July 21, that is to say by mid-October, the bleeding will be stopped.Reasoning that is opposed to that of economists who say a failure Greek is becoming increasingly economically rational, &quot;If they want to avoid a failure of control, the Troika and the European Union in particular have an incentive to relieve pressure on the objectives short-term budget of Athens by insisting on the implementation of structural reforms to boost potential growth in Greece, &quot;say economists at Morgan Stanley. </p>
<p> Rather than a sudden failure, we must consider a debt restructuring in the short term, implying a lower repayment installments provided for in the coming months to ease the Greek public finances.The major risk of such a scenario is a contagion to other peripheral countries &quot;can be avoided if the ECB goes on the front lines and discourage speculation against the Italian debt by buying heavily,&quot; said Bruno Cavalier. </p>
<p> Creditors on deck
<p> In this climate of growing skepticism, Greece somehow continues the implementation of the agreement of July 21, which passes through the participation of private creditors. Artisans of the device designed to reshape 192 billion euros of Greek claims STRIPS to complete the offer in October. &quot;This operation can not be done in a snap. It is very complex technically and supports many constraints, &quot;insists Fabrice Faure-Dauphin, a partner with law firm Allen &amp; Overy, the Board of the operation.And insist: &quot;If Greece were to miss a deadline, it does not fundamentally change the rules and would not offer more solutions to the problem.&quot; </p>
<p> The only good news, the first signals of the voluntary contribution of banks and other insurers are quite positive. While Greece requires a 90% interest in the exchange, some suggested a rate of 75% or 80%, almost unexpected. At these levels, the operation would have every opportunity to move forward. &quot;A contribution of 85% instead of 90% needs to find an additional 8.5 billion euros,&quot; analysts calculate Barclays Capital.If Athens was a survey of creditors, the real success of the operation will not be known until after the formal offer proposal issued by the Greek government. </p>
<p> Athens without a loan repayment expected before December, this still leaves him time for both to continue its negotiations with the Troika and to carry out &#8211; or not &#8211; this massive debt restructuring for its crucial public finances. Meanwhile, the markets do not. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Pascal de Izaguirre, the new head of Nouvelles Frontieres, warned this summer that is socially necessary to revive the group, losing ground. Reportedly, the plan would cover about 400 positions. It should start in early 2012 and early departures would occur next summer. </p>
<p> On Thursday, during an extraordinary works council, which lasted all day, Pascal de Izaguirre had planned to give details of the plan. He did not last. &quot;The topic of the day was the proposed merger and any socially impossible before, says Le Figaro Jorge Partida, secretary of the EC and member of the FOR trade union, a majority. Pascal de Izaguirre wanted to give a figure for job cuts. At our request, he did not mention it.It was not on the agenda, we told him to observe the melting process. &quot; </p>
<p> The plan is part of a drastic turnaround strategy Nouvelles Frontieres, which should acknowledge this year the heaviest operating loss in its history. To restore the finances of the company, Pascal de Izaguirre upsets ever habits by bringing together under one roof all brands (New Frontiers, Marmara, Tourinter and adventurer), without removing either. By doing this, this former Air France, arrived first at the head of Corsairfly before returning in May orders for the whole group, wants to end the spirit of competition that may exist between Marmara and New Frontiers, and save money. </p>
<p> &#39;Strategic mistakes
<p> The new entity will be called TUI Travel France and centered around a renewed organization, lighter and cross.&quot;The project&quot; Convergence &quot;is by no means a project of standardization or standardization of offerings,&quot; insists Pascal de Izaguirre. </p>
<p> By grouping the teams, Pascal de Izaguirre wants to impose more rigorous management, and revive the &quot;spirit of conquest&quot;, which had the reputation of New Frontiers. &quot;This plan is the fourth since the early 2000s and the takeover by the German group Preussag, held at the time by Jacques Maillot, said Jean Serrat, a former captain in Corsairfly and former secretary of the EC until 2006. The previous plans were not enough to boost sales momentum because there were strategic errors (in the diversification of products, distribution &#8230;). For the first time, brings together teams of Marmara and New Frontiers.This is finally going in the direction of a cost rationalization was inevitable. &quot; </p>
<p> Pascal de Izaguirre wants to go fast. The implementation of the new operational structure of the company is scheduled for early 2012. He has no choice. In recent years, New Frontiers has lost market share that will be difficult to regain. Increasingly, too, is necessary in Internet travel sales, with the arrival of new competitors, starting with Google, which promises to shake up the industry with a brand new search engine for airline tickets. </p>
<p> Also new, the consumer, always on the lookout for bargains, it also has a growing tendency to move from one tour operator. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Off the road for Saab. Despite the best efforts of its owner, Swedish Automotive (formerly Spyker) to find cash, the Swedish automaker filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday. In a statement, Swedish Automobile said it had requested the placement of Saab in the protection of bankruptcy law. As part of a &quot;voluntary reorganization,&quot; the contractor seeks to save time. Time to &quot;attract additional funding&quot; and especially, time to &quot;ensure the payment of wages&quot; and &quot;prepare an orderly restart of production,&quot; selonVictor Muller, CEO of Swedish Automobile and CEO of Saab Automobile. </p>
<p> &quot;Considering the financial resources currently limited to Saab Automobile, a voluntary reorganization will help to use the most efficient way the existing resources,&quot; the company said.It must be said that its financial situation is critical for several months. The manufacturer, which employs 3,700 people, announced in June that it would stop paying the salaries of its employees. Part of these wages was settled late, since, while, as of August have not been paid. In late July, the Saab postpone indefinitely the resumption of production at its only factory in Trollhattan, Sweden, interrupted once again from June 8 Suppliers, remained unpaid, stopped shipments from April <a href="http://free-credit-reports-repair.com">free 3-in-1 credit report</a><!-- . -->. Some had to degrease their workforce. </p>
<p> Breathless
<p> In this grim context, Swedish Auto has continued to widen its losses. In late August, the owner of Saab announced a significant loss of 201.5 million euros in the first half of 2011, against 21.9 million euros during the same period in 2010. The losses have been increased tenfold.The group, however, made efforts in all directions to ensure its survival. Saab had been saved from bankruptcy in early 2010, when, breathless, it was bought by the Dutch Spyker (now Swedish Automobile) to U.S. giant General Motors. Over the last six months, Saab has signed contracts with Chinese distributors and Pang Da Youngman and negotiated a contract to sell its real estate leased for cash. </p>
<p> These efforts have been inadequate and the rest of the employees of the manufacturer of short duration. Now, IF Metall, the main trade union of Saab, said that the decision of Swedish Automobile &quot;might be a good solution.&quot;She hopes a quick decision of the Court of Vänersborg on the demand for Swedish Auto, so that its &quot;members can quickly receive a reply regarding the payment of their salaries.&quot; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Pierre Mongin, the president of the RATP, did not hide his irritation on Thursday at the presentation of annual results. Questions were asked about the use of oars of his company as part of a police operation to remove an encampment or the sex scandal involving employees of the RATP on good company performance public in the first half. </p>
<p> &quot;Our results are very good,&quot; he stressed. The turnover of the RATP rose 10% over last year to 2.5 billion euros and net profit doubled to 231 million euros. This increase is partly due to two major operations: the more capital gains in the creation of Transdev and Veolia-overhaul of Systra, whose positive impact on earnings is 45 million.Excluding special items, net income amounted to 156 million euros. </p>
<p> &quot;Triple A&quot; for the RATP
<p> The company president judge, however, the fragile economic environment: &quot;We are cautious about approaching the end of the year. As the correlation between traffic and employment in Ile-de-France is clear. And we found a decline in June, &quot;The public company, whose investments this year should reach 1.5 billion euros, reviewed the financial crisis of the summer with special attention <a href="http://cash-advance-nofax.com">fast cash without a hassle</a><!-- . -->. &quot;We have an ongoing need to market to borrow, because of the enormous weight of our investments,&quot; says Pierre Mongin, which welcomed the &quot;Triple A&quot; renewed his company by rating agencies for its access to credit.During the first half, the RATP has invested 545 million euros, 216 million in renewal and renovation of rolling stock. </p>
<p> The group&#39;s cash flow continues to improve, with an increase of 27% to 431 million euros. This indicator is important because, as pointed out by Pierre Mongin, the group is the only public transport operator to carry a structural debt of over 5 billion euros, unlike its competitors Kéolis (SNCF) and Transdev Veolia: &quot;We are the only ones to be managers of infrastructure and transport operators. &quot; </p>
<p> To expand its business, the RATP is competing in a dozen bids in province and ran for the international projects tramway in Casablanca, Algiers and Washington.&quot;We will also put into service in late October early November the Algiers metro,&quot; says the president of the RATP, 56% of revenue is now generated outside France. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Unlike many leaders of the UMP, Bernard Accoyer does not support a convening of Congress on the golden rule if the vote is not granted. </p>
<p> LE FIGARO .- What impression do you get from the Summer of PS? </p>
<p> Bernard ACCOYER. &#8211; We saw a new battle of images and egos between the candidates in the primary. The PS seems to be a party curled up, in contrast to a world wide open. At La Rochelle, it was all in the posture of a facade of unity and there was nothing to find ideas to respond to the challenges of the moment. The PS stands still deal with the crisis.The implementation of its program for 2012, comparable to 1997 and even 1981, would have two consequences: swelling public spending and raise taxes, while France must control its spending and tax measures to adjust without affecting the household consumption or business competitiveness. </p>
<p> Among the subjects of contention between the majority and the opposition included the &quot;golden rule&quot;. Do you support the convening of Congress? </p>
<p> It is a responsibility of the President of the Republic. It is major. French Parliament&#39;s vote on a commitment to fight against excessive deficits is a key decision. It is also a commitment of 17 countries in the euro area. We must measure the impact of the convening of Congress. I trust the president to decide or not.For my part, I hope of course that the golden rule is adopted, but I also measured the risks of this approach. Currently, all the conditions do not seem right for the look. </p>
<p> Namely, that you do not have three-fifths majority to pass it? </p>
<p> Indeed, I spoke with most opposition leaders. They spoke clearly. They are not committed to voting the golden rule in Congress. Pending the outcome of consultations with the Prime Minister, I note that the French Socialist Party is the only one in Europe to adopt this posture. </p>
<p> Should we still call the Congress? </p>
<p> The president said if the opposition decided not to join this initiative, decisive for the future of Europe, it would be one element of the debate for the next presidential campaign. There is no emergency.We have until the summer of 2012 to reform the Constitution. Until then, it happens a lot and the French will have to choose between courage and dangerous demagogy. </p>
<p> What would happen if the text was finally rejected in Congress? </p>
<p> The absence of a qualified majority in Congress, after a positive vote in both chambers, would be a first under the Fifth Republic. The risks of rejection are real in a very sensitive issue, so we know very well that national unity has a lot in the difficult times through Europe and the euro, and also through France. </p>
<p> Jean-Francois Cope continues to ask Borloo to surrender to appear in 2012. Do you think the president of the Radical Party will go anyway? </p>
<p> Borloo belonged to the government of François Fillon for nearly four years.It is in the majority, a personality that counts. He contributed greatly in the ministries which he was responsible. His place is obviously in the campaign alongside Nicolas Sarkozy, not a competitor. </p>
<p> You think he will return to the fold? </p>
<p> I hope with all my heart and, as an intelligent and responsible, I think. </p>
<p> What makes you optimistic for the re-election of Nicolas Sarkozy? </p>
<p> What matters are not the polls, which have often said the opposite of what came out of the polls. The important thing is what has been done and what the French can expect the next five years. The President has taken, in exceptional circumstances, the right decisions at the right time with courage. Nicolas Sarkozy, during his presidency of the European Union or the G20, led the way.It was also the strong man in particularly difficult crises: the economic crisis in 2008, the crisis in Georgia, the Libyan crisis. The French need in a dangerous time, a head of state determined, courageous and experienced. </p>
