			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The sun should be looking good these next few days on the coast of the Vendee and Charente-Maritime. In this time of summer vacation, the sea should also be delicious. Nothing like with the weather of February 28 last, when the storm Xynthia that swept the country sowed chaos in this part of the Atlantic coast. In the only common Vendée La Faute-sur-Mer and The Sting-sur-Mer, the most affected by the storm, 29 people died. Nearly five months after tragedy, these two villages devastated recovering gradually. But in this popular tourist region during the summer, Xynthia has left marks that plagued the start of the season. </p>
<p> If the Office of Tourism Osten-sur-Mer laments a decline in attendance of about 10%, traders stand more negative findings.&quot;The customer is down 30% to 40%,&quot; says Pascale Soussi Restaurant La Terrasse in Sin-sur-Mer. &quot;And it was discussed among traders: It&#39;s the same for everyone. At the restaurant La Marina, sixty meals are served daily on the usual hundreds. At the Hotel du Port, Osten-sur-Mer, Sophie Ramon prepare a statement even less favorable in the hotel which was flooded by 82 inches of water in late February and closed more than a month, attendance was halved. </p>
<p> Three campgrounds closed </p>
<p> In case the destruction of several campsites and many second homes have contributed to empty the streets of the town. A La Faute-sur-Mer, the municipal camp was finally closed and that the Blue Waves should not reopen until April 2011.As for camping Municipal The Sting-sur-Mer, it is only half available: caravans and tents can again take up residence in the &quot;upper&quot; since July 1. But the other part, where you could rent mobile homes, chalets and caravans, remains closed for repairs. It represents, in itself, a hundred beds and less. </p>
<p> Overall, La Faute-sur-Mer, about 8000 tourists were least expected, on the 35,000 usually greeted each summer. Added to an unfavorable economic situation by traders, these accommodations are destroyed a significant shortfall. </p>
<p> Ile de Re also shows a small decrease </p>
<p> A few dozen kilometers south of La Faute-sur-Mer on the Ile de Ré, the damage from the storm were less important. &quot;The island is absolutely destroyed!&quot;, Recalled the manager of a hotel restaurant.A campsite for a works council remains closed this season and the hotel Odalys does not welcome new visitors that from 31 July. </p>
<p> Le Relais Thalasso, also closed after the storm has finally reopened its doors on July 4. Four months of work have been necessary for the institution to recover from the flooding that devastated forty rooms. &quot;Today, activity resumed normally,&quot; said facility director Didier Gireau. Our forecast for the month of August are in the standard, or even good. We have made efforts to forget the flood and that the center image is not tarnished. &quot; </p>
<p> But many merchants and restaurateurs of the Ile de Ré deplore this was a small decline in attendance. Some highlight the consequences of the storm, others are pointing the finger particularly the unfavorable economic environment.&quot;The economic situation is worrying,&quot; says director of Ile de Re Tourism, Catherine Senand, refusing to incrimer the storm that left &quot;little effects&quot; on the island. She admits that the season has &quot;started slowly, but expects a better August. </p>
<p> A &quot;moderate&quot; impact on departments </p>
<p> For François Riou, assistant executive Tourist Board of the Vendee, the impact of Xynthia remains &quot;very moderate&quot;. Only 2% of the Vendee coast has been destroyed by the storm, &quot;a tiny fringe&quot; which does not affect his view, the department&#39;s tourism season. Faced with a peak at half this year, local tourism professionals will therefore want reassurances on their prospects.&quot;Only two campsites are closed on the 400 account the Vendee,&quot; he recalls. </p>
<p> Even finding across the neighboring department: &quot;After the storm, only 3% of the infrastructure of Charente-Maritime have been affected,&quot; said Stephane Villain, president of the Tourism Committee of the department. &quot;The summer looks very good,&quot; he says. &quot;The reservation rate is substantially identical to that of 2009 which was a very good year.&quot; And we promise to visitors that the hospitality will be at appointment: &quot;People have worked hard to accommodate visitors in very good conditions,&quot; says Stephane Villain. They may be even better than usual &quot;. </p>
<p> The image of the region involved </p>
<p> The image of the Atlantic is at stake, as evidenced by the television campaign to promote tourism in the Vendee.Circulated in early June, the commercials were intended to &quot;remind the values of hospitality and tourism&quot; of the department, according to François Riou. </p>
<p> The regions affected by Xynthia therefore trying now to convince visitors that they are again ready to welcome them, with their usual charm and tranquility. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> End of suspense. The British oil giant has reached an agreement on Tuesday with U.S. rival Apache to sell him for $ 7 billion in assets. In a statement, it said that this sale is &quot;all production activities of oil and gas, land and infrastructure BP&quot; in West Texas and New Mexico, and in the desert west of Egypt. In Canada, it sells its BP exploration and production of natural gas in western Alberta and British Columbia. A total of 385 million barrels of oil equivalent. </p>
<p> These assets accounted for in the first half total daily production of 28,000 barrels per day of liquid hydrocarbon and more than 9 million cubic meters of gas. </p>
<p> Moreover, a spokesman announced Tuesday that the oil company would lay off some activities within Pakistan and Vietnam.These activities mainly concern the production of natural gas. If the amount is secret, BP said that the fields had produced Pakistan last year only 4.89 million cubic meters of gas in the country, a mere 2% of its total gas production. Activities include two Vietnamese gas fields, pipelines and an electricity generation plant. </p>
<p> These operations are part of the creation of a fund of 20 billion dollars to reimburse the victims of the spill. BP&#39;s objective is to sell 10 billion dollars in assets.The British group said Monday that it had already disbursed $ 3.95 billion so far in miscellaneous expenses, including compensation already paid <a href="http://fcrwizard.com">free credit report</a><!-- . -->. </p>
<p> David Cameron &quot;understands the anger&quot; </p>
<p> The &quot;case&quot; BP is in any case more than ever become a political issue, potential source of diplomatic tensions between the United States and Great Britain.Following a head to head with President Barack Obama on Tuesday, British Prime Minister, David Cameron, tried to calm things down, saying that included &quot;completely anger that exists across the U.S. &quot;against BP and it was necessary for him&quot; BP mouth leak, clean the area and pays just compensation. &quot; </p>
<p> &quot;BP is a major undertaking for both the British economy and for the U.S. economy thousands of jobs depend on BP on both sides of the Atlantic. So in the interest of both countries that the group remains strong and stable future, &quot;said David Cameron. </p>
<p> In a study received Tuesday, ratings agency Moody&#39;s estimates that if the spill had to stop short term, it would get at least 1.2 billion dollars in lost business and loss of 17,000 jobs in the region Gulf by the end of the year.&quot;Under a more pessimistic scenario in which the oil spill would continue until December, and the moratorium decided by Obama on drilling in deep waters until the end of the year, 7.4 billion dollars of activity would be lost and more than 100,000 jobs, &quot;concludes the study. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The announcement was delayed but brutal. While markets have somewhat relaxed their attention on Greece, the rating agency Moody&#39;s downgraded four notches Monday of the note of most indebted country in the euro area, &quot;A3&quot; to &quot;Ba1&quot;. After his colleague Standard &amp; Poor&#39;s, the second of the three agencies have downgraded the debt of Greek in junk bonds. </p>
<p> The announcement comes as setbacks. &quot;Moody&#39;s has not sufficiently changed its ratings on European countries, the sudden it went off the crisis,&quot; Norbert J. Gaillard, a consultant to the World Bank and specialized rating agencies. The degradation of the note in Greece four notches therefore reads as an attempt to &quot;catch up past blindness,&quot; said the economist. </p>
<p> A blindness that also concerns Spain, according to some analysts. And the investors live badly.&quot;What is it to follow a triple A rating agency that a country undergoing a difference in rates reflecting the risk very high?&quot; Critic Jean-Francois Robin, strategist at Natixis, referring to Spain . The latter receives the same notes that France and Germany, so it pays interest rates much higher. </p>
<p> Sign of disapproval or casual coincidence? Pierre Cailleteau, the head of the sovereign rating from Moody&#39;s, that is to say, fixing States Notes, recently left the company. The agency would not comment on his departure. </p>
<p> Stoicism </p>
<p> Greece, or Spain, are textbook examples and betray policy at Moody&#39;s. The agency notes in effect &quot;through the economic cycle&quot;, without giving too much importance to the market turmoil. This stoicism was removed Moody&#39;s market reality, but had a beneficial effect.The agency has helped calm the markets by keeping his notes. His rivals, degrading the height of the crisis, have instead fueled the panic. </p>
<p> Now, even out of season, the degradation of the note in Greece by Moody&#39;s has led to protests. The European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Olli Rehn, said that Moody&#39;s decision on Greece on Tuesday &quot;comes at a rather surprising and unfortunate, following the agreement on a program of macroeconomic adjustment between Greece, the Commission, the ECB and the IMF. &quot; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The crisis has backfired in China. With more than 8% growth in 2009, Beijing table already on a growth of 9.5% for 2010, relegating the slowdown of the first and second quarters to the level of vague memory. In any case the forecast of the State Council Development Research Center, near the Chinese government, which estimates that investment driven by the market will gradually take over from the recovery plan launched by the Chinese state during the coming year. </p>
<p> The property &quot;become the main source of investment growth,&quot; said Zhang Liqun, an economist with the think-tank, in a report published Friday in the China Economic Times, a newspaper that publishes all research center. Investments in this sector are expected to jump 30% to 40%. Inflation, which feeds a lot of concern among analysts, should be contained below 3%. </p>
<p> Mr.Zhang also provides for a resumption of exports, which depends on the Chinese economy, which had declined in 2009. For his part, Minister of Commerce Chen Deming, recalled earlier in the week a foreign trade up 10% to 15% in 2010. </p>
<p> These estimates are supported by the leading indicators of economic conditions, past the green for several months already. The index of purchasing managers has reached 56.6 in December, registering its highest level in twenty-two months. Above 50, the index indicates an expansion of production. </p>
<p> Concerns about credit </p>
<p> In the third quarter of last year, China&#39;s economy recorded 8.9% growth. Even in 2008, which saw the economic slowdown begin has not broken a positive revision of growth figures &#8211; like previous years.The National Bureau of Statistics announced a correction of + 0.6% of the increase in gross domestic product (GDP) in 2008 to 9.6% after a reassessment of the place of service sector growth. </p>
<p> For 2010, the Chinese machine should not make a break. President Hu Jintao called for continued rapid economic development and stable, when television delivered his vows December 31. Most analysts expect growth to exceed that of 2009. The Asian Development Bank on a table and GDP growth of 8.9%, against 9% for the International Monetary Fund and 9.3% for the Economist Intelligence Unit. </p>
<p> But challenges remain unchanged. Faced with the explosion of credit in 2009, which helped finance the generous recovery plan, the Chinese Premier did not hide some concerns.&quot;It is good that our bank loans are more balanced, better structured and to a lesser extent,&quot; confided Wen Jiabao to the official news agency Xinhua last weekend. He asserted, however, want to maintain the stimulus to avoid the risk of jeopardizing the country&#39;s development. In 2010, Beijing will need more than ever think about a way of sustainable growth for the drafting of the new five-year plan, covering the period 2011-2015. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The boss of EDF, Henri Proglio, presented Thursday to Laurent Wauquiez report on the promotion and development of alternation that Nicolas Sarkozy had ordered in April. Secretary of State for Employment wants some of its proposals &#8211; the promotion of alternation in terms of performance of public contracts, creating a portal to alternate or launching a campaign communication &#8211; to be &quot;implemented immediately. To achieve the objective that five young people either in training by alternating between 2015 &#39;and is closer to Germany in the field, it will launch workshops alternation.</p>
<p> Simplifying funding </p>
<p> These &quot;think-tanks of learning&quot;, composed of representatives of training centers of chambers, organizations collecting funds and training of young apprentices must make by February &quot;concrete answers to three questions major. </p>
<p> Primo, Laurent Wauquiez asked to indicate &quot;how to help trainees in their daily lives, especially their conditions of transport, accommodation, purchase of equipment, their enterprise search or choice of their training. </p>
<p> Deuzio, he asks &quot;how to develop alternate&quot; and &quot;extend to all levels of curriculum&quot; and &quot;tertiary trades&quot; that employ only 8% of apprentices in France while there are massive deposits in tourism or call centers. The issue of quota systems, mentioned in the report Proglio, should be particularly addressed.</p>
<p> Thirdly, the Secretary of State for Employment will &quot;simplify the steps or funding to encourage more companies to capitalize on the alternation. </p>
