" For banks, countries ensure that "they have adequate capital," they keep "sufficient access to finance."Central banks provide them with "the necessary liquidity."

At the same time and in response to a request by the G20 in September addressed to Nicolas Sarkozy, the euro zone countries have pledged to implement "necessary measures to increase the flexibility of the European financial stability and maximize its impact to prevent contagion bad credit unsecured personal loans. "

And G20 members say they are committed to act on all fronts: against "increased risk of deterioration" due to soaring public debt, against "the weakened financial system" and "turmoil" growth "low" and "unacceptable level of unemployment." To do this, they will take action to "support growth" while adopting "credible fiscal consolidation plans."And the time is short since the club 20 is the adoption of "an ambitious collective action plan before the summit in Cannes," in early November.

Accordingly, IDC does not anticipate any real rebound in the PC market before that date.Then, computer sales are expected to further growth in France, with the arrival of the new Windows, but also new forms of computers and especially ultrabooks These extra thin and light PC Faxless payday loans.

Sales of smartphones are also expected to continue to grow, reaching four billion euros, an increase of 33% at the end of 2011. About 12 million handsets will be sold in France this year. "This increase meets the mobility needs of consumers," said Kirk Campbell, for whom the main battle takes place on the side of operational systems. If for the moment the landscape is dominated by IOS (Apple) and Android (Google), "there is room for five or six players, according to Kirk Campbell. There will be regional solutions.

This platform will be closed in mid-November. "The French agriculture is a key sector and must be present in the Presidential debate, said Xavier Beulin, a number of FNSEA. We will ask the candidates to express themselves and engage in relation to our proposals. "

Important themes, four stand out.On the top of the stack, that of improving the competitiveness of French agriculture. It has been deteriorating over the past five years. So much so that France, land of all agricultural production has shifted from first to third place behind Germany and the Netherlands in the field of agri-food trade. Fills a gourmet meal while the French end of 2010 was listed as World Heritage Heritage of Unesco, the Hexagon now imports many of its fruits and vegetables, cheaper to produce outside our borders.

To make France more competitive firm, offers FNSEA implementation of VAT "social antidélocalisation." Its goal: to reduce by at least 30% of the hourly cost of agricultural workers to align with that of its European competitors.A key position when you know that 60% of the cost in this sector, employing 200,000 people, from the cost of labor. Such a measure would cost $ 300 to 350 million euros to the state budget.

To finance it, the future tax soft drinks would not be sufficient. "This requires an increase in VAT terms to be defined. In addition this measure would also apply to imported products as opposed to an increase in the CSG, which again would penalize French farms, "says Xavier Beulin.

Second major issue, increased efforts in research and development in agriculture on G20.With, for example, the introduction of new varieties of animal and plant more to meet consumer expectations.

For a new irrigation policy

The third point concerns the inclusion of the entrepreneurial dimension of the French farm, including the creation of new legal status and accounting standards with the possibility of bankruptcy without affecting personal property.

Finally the fourth theme relates to the environment. FNSEA advocates a new irrigation policy to create water reservoirs to store winter and summer re-use rather than let her go to the sea This implies a reduction of administrative .

FNSEA does not give instructions to vote.The responses of presidential candidates will help farmers, who are no longer systematically acquired the right to guide their choice.

In Paris the CAC 40 was indeed touched its lowest level in session year (3,630.75 points), while Wall Street finished its worst week in a year, despite the intervention of Obama Friday in an attempt to reassure debt.

After the relief 10 days ago on Greek sovereign debt, the calm would return to the Paris financial center.After weeks of negotiations, elected Democrats and Republicans have indeed finally found common ground on the amount of new ceiling, avoiding the world's largest economy is in default of payment in the coming days. According to preliminary information provided by the White House, the debt ceiling would be raised to 2.1 trillion dollars, which breathe new life in the United States on the forehead of the debt until 2013, after the presidential elections. This agreement in principle will also enable the countries to continue to borrow on the markets beyond the August 2 deadline set by the Treasury.

The reaction of rating agencies expected

On the other hand, no excessive optimism are to be expected in the financial markets today, at least until the U.S. Congress has not ratified the agreement. The first submission is expected to vote that day.Furthermore, few details have yet filtered on measures taken to reduce the deficit in the U.S., which does not exclude the possibility of deterioration in the rating of the sovereign debt of the United States.

Then a bipartisan special committee of Congress will then be responsible for finding the end of November additional expenditure cuts amounting to 1.5 trillion dollars. A total of 2.5 trillion dollars in budget cuts, all over 10 years. From this point of view, the reaction of rating agencies in this agreement called the "medium term" should be widely followed by the markets.

On the currency front, the dollar has benefited only modestly from the announcement of the night, illustrating the temporary nature of such an agreement.At 8 am, the euro fell slightly (-0.13%) against the greenback at 1.4385 dollar, while it bounces against the yen.

A view that is far from sharing all the Greeks. A good part of them remains in an attitude of rejection of "the dictatorship of the markets." For Giorgos Delastik, political analyst, "Europe has saved Greece and its banks but not the Greeks. The country is under the supervision of the EU budget and the IMF for many years. It is humiliating that Greece is so singled out. And Greece is a kind of European laboratory.Wage cuts and new taxes imposed, will be too soon in all countries without exception. "

The hope of a recovery

Point of the Brussels agreement, however, found favor in his eyes: "The most positive is that Europe keeps its promises to implement an economic recovery strategy." The compromise provides that Greece has a largest share of EU funding for development (the so-called "structural funds"). For the economist Alexandros Paparsenos, "is the best announcement of the summit. By reducing debt and injecting money into the development, financing of infrastructure and major projects, it gives people hope for a recovery.The rigor was not an option and now hopefully return to a positive growth rate early 2012, "said he.

As part of the compromise on Thursday night, the banks had to make sacrifices. In the Greek banking sector, the tone is at the discretion. "This decision removes the pressure on Greece and will allow him to return to the market in three years to borrow large sums," hopes the president of a major Greek bank, on condition of anonymity. "Instead of paying 14 billion euros in interest rates, or 6% of GDP, the country will pay 11.5 billion. By cons, now the government has no excuses, he says. The Europeans, creditors, the people, everyone made an effort. This requires that led George Papandreou promised reforms in a fair and especially the privatization program.He has to channel the discontent of the Greeks, some want to boycott the system, and it encourages us to lend to entrepreneurs to boost the economy. "

The risk of a new social explosion will be part of the challenge of the Papandreou government. After the indefinite strike of taxi drivers, other sectors such as marine and port workers, announced that they observe similar movements. The game will be tight.

So far, the main risk was to fail to convince, as was the case a year ago.With markets abusing European banks in turmoil on sovereign debt, the danger is now adding fuel to the fire …

The Institute of International Finance, which includes 400 credit institutions in the world, concerned that the emphasis of the supervisor to publish banks' exposures to the sovereign debt would aggravate tensions in the markets.For if the stress tests are unwilling to consider the hypothesis of a failure, even partial, state of the euro area, even though the scenario is not ruled by some European finance ministers, analysts will not go without applying the discount corresponding to their own calculations.

In fact, stress tests, vintage 2011, were built partly in response to criticism of the 2010 vintage: his credibility was undermined when the Irish banks were left to the mat a few months after passing their check-up! Hence the idea that the number of "recalibrated" should be higher than last year: in July 2010, seven banks have been stigmatized with a lack of capital combined 3 billion euros only .

Confusion

From this perspective, the tension went crescendo in recent days.Adding to the sense of confusion at the moment that sticks to all European decision-making, many countries or institutions have formally or informally, started to spill the beans. The German regional bank Helaba was denounced by itself, Wednesday, accusing the same time the EBA does not take into account the 'silent participation' 10% owned by the state of Hesse in his capital is not regarded as capital drives. In Spain, two savings banks, suspected to be among the victims of stress tests, have healthy self-proclaimed as yesterday, stating that their criteria are not exactly the same as those used in Europe! The Spanish authorities have also criticized the method of Constable European banking.

Although it was heavily judging, fiscal 2010 proved useful over time.A study by Morgan Stanley, 19 of the 22 listed banks passing the bar set by the supervisor by a margin of 2.25%, have increased since their capital. Thus, if the EBA requires a minimum of 5% capital ratio, "we believe that investors will scrutinize those who pass with a margin of less than 1%," warned analysts at Morgan Stanley.

Still, by nature, the exercise is not enough to reassure the markets. It focuses, in fact, on the solvency of banks when the rising concern about the cost and availability of the resources they need to find on the market. In the current climate of mistrust, the market assess the health of banks, primarily through the quality of the signing of their country of origin.For financial institutions of Europe device, each day that passes makes access to capital more expensive and more difficult and more involved when a deterioration in the sovereign rating by any rating agency.

This tax, incorrectly called "Google", companies are taxed advertisers and not portals, would bring a little more than 20 million to state coffers.
