It cannot be that workers pay crisis once again

The economic and social climate you are concerned about it

Do not fill the table. There are reasons to be optimistic. Consumption is not. And I sense a revival in construction. It is a sector in which the recovery plan will be fully operational. There is no better year than 2009 to build, to access the property, to invest in rental. I expect a revival of the construction in the second half. Today, the crisis weighs essentially on the workers of industry, young people and those who undergo partial unemployment. Concentrate our efforts on them, and companies who must pass the Cape of the crisis. It cannot be that workers pay crisis once again. In the industry, very good measures were announced to preserve human capital, as compensation for the partial unemployment up to 90 of the net salary for training. It must be that it comes very quickly on the ground.

Should we suspend the fiscal package for the summer 2007 as the claim the PS and the trade unions

A large education effort must be carried out on the famous Act Tepa. This tax package does not contain more than 600 million euros for the plusaisées classes. Over PS to anchor the idea that he had first benefited the rich. We absolutely keep the device on overtime, because even today sectors are struggling to find labour. When the recovery comes, this policy will be highly profitable. It is more a factor of fairness because it is essentially the manual workers who are working overtime. However, it will be necessary sooner or later the CSG and the CRDSsortent of the tax shield. And in this period of crisis, I think that question to the more affluent classes a financial effort.

In concrete terms

For two years, could be an additional tax contribution income beyond understanding. In the United States, Barack Obama wants to raise taxes on those earning more than $ 500,000.

Could emulate. Should this measure be initiated by several countries at the same time to mark the spirits and avoid relocations. Why not at the next Summit of the g-20 Given the differences in income which are dug in recent years, a strong political action on this point seems legitimate. It is a question of justice. For fifteen years, the small middle class feels drawn down, the more affluent classes to the top. In a period of crisis, very easy categories should participate in the effort of the country for the sake of social cohesion.

At what level are you pay beyond understanding

For example, could increase the rate of the income tax for people earning more than 300,000 or 400,000 euros per year. The UMP, I think that there is a majority of members for such a measure, provided that the France did not act alone but in conjunction with other countries.

If no agreement on this point war at the g-20, should be that the France advance only on this path

I want to.

The job losses announced by Total you upset them

Of course. A restructuring is always possible in a company, but you really live in another world to make it in the current period without any education. It is indecent. It must be that Total take commitments of re-industrialization of the sites concerned.

Does decrease the rate of VAT on the restoration

5.5, Non. Because there are other priorities and we have a budget deficit already very important. The EUR 2 billion that could cost it would be very useful for the social investment fund, to assist and train young people. One could imagine to bind the reduced VAT in catering to a contract for the adjustment of wages or reduction of the countervailing this sector, but that sounds very difficult to implement, given the wide range of institutions. It seems to me preferable to a stage, with a rate of 10 or 12.
