			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The fear of a slowing Chinese economy weigh on Asian stock markets. On Tuesday, the day after a session, however encouraging, the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong and Shanghai Composite Index unleash respectively 3.34% and 1.67 points to 18,243.31% to 2399.58 points. Investors react to the publication of a slowdown in Chinese growth to 9.1% in the third quarter, against 9.7% and 9.5% in the first and second quarters.After this bad figure, other regional financial centers are also displayed down: the Nikkei of the Tokyo Stock Exchange lost 1.47% to 8749.08 points, the Kospi index in Seoul fell by 1.47% to 1837.73 points, the S &amp; P / ASX 200 Index yields 1.82% at Sydney 4197.70 points, the BSE Sensex 30 in Mumbai fold from 1.66% to 16,742.80 points and the FTSE Straits Times of Singapore gives up 1.78% to 2729.51 points. </p>
<p> &quot;Economic growth is currently facing a more complicated on both external and internal plans,&quot; said the spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Sheng Laiyun commenting on the growth of China. In fact, Chinese exporters are beginning to suffer from particular sovereign debt crisis in Europe, their largest market, a difficult economic situation in the United States.The Chinese economy is also impacted by rising wages and strong yuan, has appreciated by 7% in a year against the dollar. &quot;The number of factors of instability and uncertainty increases,&quot; says Sheng Laiyun. </p>
<p> The concern weighing on Europe
<p> In this context, the correct figures for China&#39;s industrial production have gone unnoticed <a href="http://pay-day-loans-4all.com">cheap pay day loans</a><!-- . -->. This has increased by 13.8% in September year on year, according to BNS. </p>
<p> In addition, concerns about the debt crisis in Europe grew yesterday and weigh Surles markets. The German Minister of Economics Wolfgang Schäuble has indeed warned that the EU summit to be held in Brussels Sunday will not lead to a definitive solution to the debt crisis. And, while the central bankers of the euro zone had promised a response &quot;comprehensive and lasting peace&quot; to the crisis at the G20 finance this weekend in Paris.</p>
<p> China Eastern Airlines to Hong Kong and Tepco
<p> On the corporate side, China Eastern Airlines (-7.02% to 2.65 Hong Kong dollars) on Monday announced an agreement to acquire 15 Airbus A330 family for a selected list price of $ 2.5 billion, for delivery between 2013 and 2015. </p>
<p> Note that Tepco, the operator of the nuclear accident in Fukushima, yields 1.38% in Tokyo, after asking the first tranche of public assistance of some 700 billion yen (6.7 billion euros) for finance part of the compensation of victims, according to Japanese media on Tuesday. </p>
<p> On the front of currencies, the euro rose 0.28% to 1.377 dollars on Tuesday. Oil is meanwhile down in Asia after the confirmation of a slowdown in Chinese growth in the third quarter against a backdrop of skepticism about a speedy resolution of sovereign debt crisis in the euro area.The barrel of &quot;light sweet crude&quot; for delivery in November, up in the early electronic trading, lost 9 cents to 86.29 dollars, around 6:00. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> To tout its cars to French consumers, Renault has found nothing better than to tell them all the good we think of the Rhine: &quot;The Germans had never worn if the colors of the Renault group,&quot; proclaims a full-page advertisement inserted recently in several major newspapers. And a huge flag Germanic, where the yolk was replaced by the orange Renault, is quoted the testimony of three magazines giving high marks to the products of the firm to diamond. </p>
<p> In a completely different note, our brother Le Monde has published a major survey of its specialist art entitled &quot;The German art is greater&quot; (sic).Dealing with three exhibitions held this fall in Paris (Baselitz, Lüpertz and Richter), journalist and university Philippe Dagen highlights the quality of their training, the dynamism of their collectors and regionalization of their art centers, ensuring competition . After having watered three centuries of sublime music, will they outdo us again? </p>
<p> The admiration of Germany has become the national sport on the left bank of the Rhine. &quot;It will take time to go to a joint work, we must move towards a common retirement age, it will move towards convergence of economic and social organization of our two countries,&quot; recommended last month François Fillon, in a speech at Matignon.The Prime Minister handed &quot;the price of creative audacity!&quot; The finger of suspicion towards the merger, given the respective performances, 150 billion trade surplus with them, 75 billion deficit at home, 6.9% unemployment there, by 9.2%. And then this terrible figure, which summarizes and explains its own precedents: from Munich to Hamburg, we continue to manufacture 5.3 million cars, with no change in recent years, while French car production fell by 3.2 2 million in five years. </p>
<p> Our guide would rather &quot;fear of the police&quot;
<p> For their part, manufacturers are Germanic full of praise that they braid.Witness the latest ad Opel France on the radio on the bottom of a thundering speech in the language of Goethe, this comment means voice-over: &quot;No need to understand German to know that Opel is German quality. &quot; </p>
<p> Narcissism which the Germans, like all people, are tempted to succumb long history. Just remember the famous phrase of Richard Wagner: &quot;To be German means to do something for herself.&quot; Taste for work well done. The composer of Bayreuth, revered by the French intellectual circles of the second half of the nineteenth century despite the defeat of 1870, speaking at a time when industrialization took off in all Europe <a href="http://guaranted-unsecured-personal-loans.com">bad credit personal loan lenders</a><!-- . -->. Wagner wanted to stigmatize the mercantile spirit and the Anglo-Saxon capitalism. The industrial Germanic still close artisans described in his opera The Maîtrbaes Singers, the contrary does not care that the quality of its products.National competition of capitalism was raging. So much so that London had mandated in 1887 to register the trademark &quot;Made in Germany&quot; on products from Berlin. It was a way to deter British consumers to buy them. In vain, because they had quickly perceived the letters as a synonym for excellence. </p>
<p> Reforms &quot;imposed&quot; in Brussels
<p> Our current debates on the tropism of both industrial and financial capital of others have nothing new. It is tempting to attribute the course to specific national cultural roots. The philosopher and sociologist Theodor Adorno, hardly suspected of complacency vis-à-vis the countries that had pushed him into exile, invoked &quot;the great German ideas that celebrate independence with excitement, the purity of the things that the we only for themselves. &quot;</p>
<p> The French seem all the more admirable that such principles are totally foreign. Our guide would rather &quot;fear of the police&quot; that the search for autonomy. Our drivers are less concerned about road safety control radars. Our governments are concerned with reducing budget deficits to meet the rating agencies and the &quot;Maastricht criteria&quot;. The reforms we are &quot;imposed&quot; in Brussels, says it for ages. The euro was sold to the public as a &quot;shield&quot; and not as an instrument of independence, etc.. </p>
<p> Renault advertisers are part of a powerful ideological trend in France when they refer to the standards of the Rhine. That Germany is a reference-ministerial in Paris, it is called &quot;benchmark&quot; &#8211; is obvious, considering its size and its results.That we should draw on the successes of others is also clear. But can we trace our tax on Germany not adjust the level of public spending (over 10% of GDP at home)? Lack of guiding principles, we simply stack the remedies indiscriminately. &quot;Against unemployment, we tried everything!&quot; Claimed pathos with François Mitterrand. One wonders if Wagner had not just right when he treated the French as &quot;monkey people&quot; (1864). </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> This year again, the market shelves is essentially &#8230; the Apple iPad, despite an influx of competing products on the market. &quot;Other manufacturers are struggling to create the right set-shelf applications to counter Apple,&quot; says Kirk Campbell, CEO of IDC. Samsung advanced course in second place world ranking producers of tablets, but it is still far behind the iPad. &quot;RIM, the maker of BlackBerry, will come with an improved product. It retains its chances of success, &quot;said the boss of IDC, while sales of PlayBook, the first tablet of RIM, have not changed the world rankings. </p>
<p> &quot;There&#39;s always room for one leader in the business world,&quot; said Kirk Campbell.Indeed, users have iPads&#39;m more likely to want to use it in a professional, IT departments are often the resistance, finding the subject too insecure. &quot;The market remains very open shelves and Apple will sell mechanically market share,&quot; said Kirk Campbell. However, the firm at the apple still have good days ahead. If Microsoft Tuesday unveiled a new Windows Tablet 8 can equip, no product should be on the market before the end of 2012. 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 <a href="http://payday-z.com">Faxless payday loans</a><!-- . -->. </p>
<p> 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. &quot;This increase meets the mobility needs of consumers,&quot; 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), &quot;there is room for five or six players, according to Kirk Campbell. There will be regional solutions. Remember that the Chinese are still not entered the race. &quot;In France, Bada, the operating system from Samsung that plays the third male. Korean is also passed by Apple in July. Android now holds more than 50% of the French market of smartphone sales, against 17.7% for Bada (which equips Samsung Wave) and 17% for iOS Apple. </p>
<p> &quot;The future cars will be connected devices&quot; said Kirk Campbell, who predicted the establishment of a new economic model that would allow manufacturers to generate recurring revenue by selling subscription services. Ford has already extensively engaged in this way with Sync. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The speech will be delivered to a very limited audience, but it will be heard by the entire financial world. The head of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, will speak on Friday afternoon (French time) to his counterparts at the traditional central bankers in Jackson Hole Symposium, Wyoming. </p>
<p> While the U.S. economy slows dangerously, investors expect a tough response from the Fed. But they may be disappointed because, faced with two problems, the central bank runs out of ammunition. </p>
<p> Misdiagnosis
<p> First, Ben Bernanke erred in economic diagnosis. He underestimated his own admission, the low growth in the first half and was counting on a rebound in demand in the second, which for now does not materialize.Problem with its main policy rate at zero since December 2008, the Fed has little room to revive again the supply of credit. Some members of the Monetary Committee refuses to go further. Among the reluctant, Richard Fisher, president of the Dallas Fed. It is estimated that on August 9 promises to continue until mid-2013 interest rates unusually low, the Fed made a mistake: the promise deters businesses and individuals to borrow quickly as they know that the rates are not nearly up. </p>
<p> So what can Ben Bernanke promised? The resumption of purchases of long-term bonds the Treasury is the preferred option by the markets. But given the high level of inflation, the method is risky.In addition, low interest rates leaves little hope that this new &quot;quantitative easing&quot; has a significant effect on credit supply. </p>
<p> Ben Bernanke should focus on technical measures. The Fed could cut the compensation of bank reserves. It would be a way to push banks to lend rather than storing their cash with her. The second measure seeks to change more or less gradually the composition of its balance sheet, which reached 2.7 trillion dollars. To maintain long-term rates as low as possible, the Fed may decide to increase the proportion of its balance sheet invested in long-term securities, while reducing the one placed in short-term securities. The decline in long rates will encourage companies and individuals to refinance their debts and support the real estate. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Households eligible for the allocation of the new school will have received today. The family allowance were announced in early August that this financial boost to low-income families would be paid to the beneficiary households between 19 and 21 August at the latest. </p>
<p> Last year, about 5 million children and 2.8 million households had received this benefit, an average of 300 euros per child. &quot;We do not yet know the exact number of beneficiaries, because some families must provide proof that they will have to re-entry. But a year on year, this figure varies very little, &quot;says one to the National Family Allowances Fund (CNAF). In 2010, the CNAF had counted only 600 beneficiaries over from the previous year. A few weeks ago, Roselyne Bachelot noted that it had mentioned the figure of 4.6 million recipients.</p>
<p> Increase of nearly 7% of the cost of school
<p> In 2011, the allowance for school was revalued by 1.5% to reflect inflation. Depending on the age of the child eligible under 18 if in school, the aid received varied from 284.97 euros to 311.11 euros per year. But the annual increase covers only a small part of the rising cost of school. </p>
<p> According to the Association of Family France, it rose by almost 7% since last year. For a student of the sixth, the only school supplies back to around 187 euros. Involved, the general inflation of around 1.9% a year in France, and the sharp rise in prices of raw materials, pulp and paper in particular is currently selling at record prices. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Japan is recovering slowly from the disaster of 11 March. On Monday, the government announced a slowdown of 0.3% of GDP in the second quarter. But this decline, of 1.3% annualized, less than analysts&#39; forecasts which projected a contraction of 0.7%. It also shows a marked improvement over the 0.9% decline the previous quarter cashed. </p>
<p> Between April and June, exports fell sharply by 4.9% and is the main factor in the decline. During this period, deliveries of goods have been hampered by the destruction of factories and infrastructure in the devastated areas of north-east of the archipelago. Breaks in the supply chain were found in the key sectors of the automobile and electronics exports pillars.Industrial activity has also been slowed by the nuclear accident in Fukushima that led to the arrest of a significant portion of the reactor pool and therefore a fall in electricity production. </p>
<p> The downward trend was further accentuated by a decline of 1.9% of private real estate investment and a 0.1% decline in consumption. The trauma of the disaster, which killed more than 20,000 dead or missing, has indeed led the Japanese citizens to exercise restraint for several weeks, slowing private consumption, which is usually an engine of growth <a href="http://us-fast-cash-now.com">online cash advance</a><!-- . -->. This slowdown was partly offset by the increase of 3% of public investment. </p>
<p> &quot;We will rebuild Japan&quot;
<p> To observers, this leaves the second quarter, however, consider a rapid improvement in the Japanese economy.&quot;If the economy is improving as it takes shape in some respects, it is possible that growth back at the period from July to September&quot;, commented Takeshi Minami, an economist at the Institute Norinchukin whose opinion joined the Minister of Finance, Yoshihiko Noda. </p>
<p> For his part, Prime Minister Naoto Kan took advantage of the sixty-sixth anniversary of the surrender of Japan to promise an improvement in the economy. &quot;Our country has emerged from the ruins of war through the efforts of every citizen and overcame many difficulties to date. With these experiences, we will rebuild with determination and force the devastated areas and Japan. &quot; </p>
<p> These remarks have convinced the Asian markets on Monday morning.At the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Nikkei has closed the day on a sharp increase from 1.37% to 9086.41 points. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Eighteen months after the initial concerns about the European debts, the situation on the old continent is still fragile. However, the euro remains surprisingly strong. The euro hovered around $ 1.45 since April, and rose more than 8% since the beginning of the year, and 15.5% in one year. &quot;The first explanation that justifies the euro strengthens and weakens the dollar is in the interest rates: in Europe, they are likely to be faced by the ECB on Thursday, reaching 1.50% while those U.S. Federal Reserve and will still remain long remain between 0 and 0.25%, &quot;says Bruno Rodier, private banker and portfolio manager at Pictet &amp; Cie.This differential rate encourages investors to take advantage of the &quot;carry trade&quot;, this technique to generate returns by borrowing in dollars at a rate unusually low, and place it in euros, which pays better. </p>
<p> &quot;The situation should not change in the coming months because when the European Central Bank has the sole purpose of containing inflation by raising interest rates, the Fed also has the task of supporting growth and employment and maintain long-term rates low and a weak currency to do so, &quot;said Harry Sebag, an analyst at Saxo Bank.He said the Fed will not change its monetary policy anytime soon because it looks especially the real estate market across the Atlantic, the one who caused the economic crisis and financial crisis in the summer of 2007, which is still not out business. </p>
<p> The dollar is kept artificially low
<p> But even more than the strengthening of the euro, especially on the weak dollar that the experts agree. And has been a little more than a year: the Fed announcement as it injects new astronomical quantities (600 billion) dollars in the global economy. Instantly, the dollar lost its value against other currencies, and the effect lasted until now.&quot;There is also the effect &#39;end of world supremacy&#39; of the dollar plays, including the report of the World Bank has recently anticipated that by 2025, that is to say tomorrow, the market currencies will be dominated also by the Chinese yuan, not only by the dollar and the euro, &quot;notes Vincent Juvyns, strategist at ING IM <a href="http://no-fax-fast-cash-advance.com">cash advance no fax</a><!-- . -->. </p>
<p> The role of the dollar as the global benchmark fading as global governance wants to reform the international monetary system. In this perspective, little by little, investors include the future landscape of the exchange market and exchange their dollars into yuan and euro. &quot;At the same time, we must take into account the cultural dimension of geographical areas: Europe, under the influence of Germany was a culture of rent, we want to keep a strong currency.This contrasts with the current pattern of currency war, which is to artificially push down its currency to promote its own foreign trade, &quot;said Bruno Rodier. </p>
<p> Europe is going less badly than the U.S.
<p> Finally, if Europe goes wrong, it will hurt less than the United States. Bad news on the macroeconomic front here and on the other side of the Atlantic, lower the respective currencies, but the U.S. figures are still worse than the European data, the dollar fell more than the euro. So the euro / dollar rate goes up anyway. &quot;If you took away the effect debt, the euro was trading at least $ 1.50,&quot; Harry Sebag plans.Recently, the growth forecasts for the European Union were found, while those for the United States have been degraded. </p>
<p> Thus, the twists in the case of Greece, or fears of contagion from the crisis of sovereign debt of countries in the euro area peripheral to Italy or France, they have had little effect on the euro itself. &quot;The currency market is highly sensitive to very short term. But in the coming weeks, the scenario of an outbreak of the euro area remains the least plausible of all, &quot;says Vincent Juvyns, underlining that&quot; challenges remain whole in the longer term. &quot; The markets seem optimistic about the ability of European governance to agree to find solutions to problems of public finances of member countries.&quot;And Nicolas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel, and Jean-Claude Trichet has always reassuring words to soothe the markets when tensions rise,&quot; added the expert. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The French presidency of the G20 has a real workhorse: the fight against agricultural price volatility and put agriculture at the heart of the investments to ensure food security. In fact, this summit today and tomorrow brings together the ministers of agriculture of 20 countries representing 85% of world production, is a first in the annals of the G20 to put the assets of France. On the eve of the opening, the Minister of Agriculture, Bruno Le Maire, recognizes this: if an action plan has five points on the table, &quot;it will be difficult to reach an agreement, both differences are profound. &quot; No question as to aim for a minimum agreement. &quot;We prefer to fail rather than give up a point.It is a coherent whole that can handle all causes, &quot;insists on the ministry. </p>
<p> • Transparency in Physical </p>
<p> The most concrete commitment, it would create a database, called Friends Information System (agricultural markets) and hosted at FAO. To provide information that is &quot;clear and transparent&quot; about global levels of production, consumption and stocks, initially focused on corn, soybeans, rice and wheat. This involves the cooperation of private groups such as Cargill and Dreyfus. This should lead to a consensus, despite the reluctance of China and India on issues of sovereignty. They are willing to engage on the condition of technical assistance such as satellite photos. </p>
<p> • Increased productivity </p>
<p> Again, this measure of common sense could rally all members of the G20.This is to encourage investment in global agriculture by focusing on innovation to improve yields of wheat and rice. The challenge: increase of 70% of world agricultural production by 2050 to feed 50% more mouths <a href="http://payday-loans-cheap.com">payday loan companies</a><!-- . -->. The draft declaration emphasizes the need to develop public-private partnerships, a point without critics in the major emerging countries. </p>
<p> • Coordination of global agricultural production </p>
<p> In order not to replicate the Russian episode last summer, the French Presidency pushing for the establishment of a Rapid Response Forum (RRF), which should facilitate the coordination of agricultural trade policies. A measure criticized by the United States and Australia, which refer this matter to the World Trade Organization. The subject of biofuels, blamed as a factor of volatility, pass second.The project calls for a &quot;strengthening of the analysis between the production of biofuels and the food.&quot; </p>
<p> • Reduce the effects of volatility on the most vulnerable countries </p>
<p> The World Bank should encourage the establishment of contractual instruments such as loans cyclical, ensuring access to credit and risk coverage to the poorest countries. It also reserves to provide for humanitarian relief. The term &quot;stock&quot; was carefully excluded to avoid offending the most reluctant, USA, Argentina and Brazil, particularly hostile to administered prices. </p>
<p> • Regulation of financial markets </p>
<p> Railing against excessive speculation, Nicolas Sarkozy promised more regulation of financial markets.On this point, the final statement is likely to be modest, returning responsibility to the finance ministers, themselves remain highly dependent on market authorities. The text could, however, contain some recommendations, including imposing position limits, as is already done in Chicago. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> No waffling. The Paris Air Show is clearly a prime target for terrorists of all stripes. &quot;The means are enhanced this year given the international context,&quot; admits Gilles Fournier, director of the show. Everything is made to ensure that nothing spoils the biggest party in the aviation world. The device, classified top secret, similar to that established for a G8 or the movement of a Barack Obama in Normandy. But the BBC is able to detail some components. </p>
<p> The government and relevant ministries including Defence and Interior, make available to the people living in 2000 to carry out missions of security, air traffic management, protection of public figures and the public. In total, no fewer than 45 state departments are present. Le Bourget hosts a control center.This PC has 80 permanent crisis covering all areas: safety, security, public order, land and air circulation. Protection services and intelligence are also at work, the DCRI provides security industry while teams of HPPD (protection service VIPs) are deployed French and foreign. At least 50 cameras monitor every corner, while ground crews are based in the crowd of visitors. Officially, no foreign intelligence service is present on the site but &quot;it is well known that the Bourget swarms of spies from all over the planet,&quot; says one industry. </p>
<p> A public prosecutor is always present on the site in order to treat all topics: crime, air accident, fire or bombs &#8230; &quot;We conduct rehearsals of all scenarios.In a crisis the PC can trigger the red plan, &quot;said Gilles Fournier. The show requisition, order of the prefect, a representative of the Association of radio amateurs (ADRASEC). &quot;If everything is cut and the saturated mobile is the ultimate way to help to communicate with the outside,&quot; says the executive director of the show. </p>
<p> 70 hectares to monitor
<p> Mobile police squads roam the 70 acre site while the Air Force ensures its protection Air Show. A special device for aviation security (DPSA) is deployed in order to &quot;put the Bourget in a protective bubble&quot; without disrupting the airports of Roissy and Le Bourget. A temporary exclusion zone (FTZ) flight is drawn from the south to the north of Roissy Le Bourget. This space is reserved for bounded planes and pilots accredited with flight plans, passenger names were submitted.An intruder is likely to be intercepted &quot;by any suitable means.&quot; AWACS surveillance aircraft and helicopters for surveillance and intervention runs continuously and monitors &quot;anything that flies.&quot; On the ground, the Air Force is on alert: the Mirage are ready to take off. Rattlesnake missiles are pre-positioned and radar detection of the Air Force record &quot;everything that moves.&quot; All are ready to respond regardless of the scenario: small escort the aircraft flying club that has accidentally wandered into the FTZ, to land an aircraft in emergency or eliminate a target whose trajectory is clearly hostile. &quot; </p>
<p> On the ground, military aircraft are under the protection and monitoring of specialized private companies but also armed them support like the American aircraft.As for civilian aircraft, they are under the protection of security companies licensed by the prefecture and the Ministry of Interior. Three companies subsidiary of ADP Alysia, GPS and Stand-Up is under contract with the organizers of the show. &quot;These are companies of reference, approved in the prefecture who usually major events at the Stade de France or Cannes. They carry out checks at the entrances of the show, searches and identity checks, &quot;said Gilles Fournier. </p>
<p> Similarly, vehicles entering the territory of the exhibition are all controlled and searched by teams cynotechniques explosion of Police. </p>
<p> The site displays a complete medical device. An advanced medical post (PMA) managed by the EMS Department is mounted. It also relies on the private firefighting resources in the Order of Malta delegating nearly 80 people throughout the show.A field hospital is also there with his two centers equipped with defibrillators, resuscitation and 8 beds. &quot;Every year it handles about 150 cases: this is the little bobo heart attack through the heat stroke,&quot; says Gilles Fournier. The medical task force also has in its ranks doctors, nurses and firefighters from the brigade of Paris. &quot;Around the room, barracks and hospitals were placed on standby, ready to intervene and welcome. Beds reserved in hospitals in Paris, &quot;said Louis Le Portz. </p>
</p>
<p> Stringent safety rules for flight demonstrations
<p> Another aspect to manage public safety and residents during the presentation of aircraft flights. Le Bourget is also a city of more than 13,000 residents, schools and shops. &quot;The rules of safety are absolutely stringent,&quot; the organizers insist.The show is under the authority of an Interministerial Commission of Control, chaired by the Prime Minister. From it depends on the Organizing Committee and Coordination Committee (COC) which brings together representatives of the Ministry of Defence and Interior, the Air Force, Airport of Paris, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the prefecture of Seine Saint Denis. The COC approves the demonstration flights daily that drive the show from 14 hours. </p>
<p> The space dedicated to demonstrations is well defined this is called the volume-flying aerial displays and controlled by radar trajectory to track and record real-time trajectory and the exact position of a plane in 3D. Station to the driver that does not follow the strict rules.Prohibition is made out of &quot;volume of flight,&quot; to fly across the room, the crowd, to make figures prohibited from encroaching on the airspace close to Roissy. A system of penalty and prohibition of flights is planned but it is very rarely used, say the organizers of the show. The drivers are all experienced professionals who have been approved by the direction of flight at Le Bourget. </p>
<p> From Wednesday to Saturday before the show opens, theft of repetition and validation takes place. Pilots, flight plans and the figures have to be approved by Stéphane flick, the director of flight appointed by the state. The former head of the school test pilots is still active. It is the center pilot flight test of the Directorate General for Armaments (DGA). </p>
