For the Union of the national daily press (SPQN), the situation is bitter while 20 million French people consult each month at least one site of news releases, and that six of the seven major news sites are from the print media, newspaper companies have only marginally redistributive mechanisms of value, nonetheless very real in other areas of content creators, such as audiovisual, cinema or music. As revealed Tuesday Les Echos, the SPQN decided to take his pilgrim's staff and meet in the coming weeks the different candidates in the presidential election to submit their proposals.

€ 150 million

Teams to campaign, the union will submit two proposals. First, to extend the online press the VAT rate reduced to 2.1%, which already applies to the press. Then, a mechanism of redistribution of the value generated by the digital divide between market players (ISPs, portals info, search engines and manufacturers) and publishers of online news. According to the calculations of the firm Kurt Salmon, the manna that could be levied for the benefit of the press would represent 140 to 150 million euros a year. The idea would be to pay all the contents of the press in line for their contribution to the value generated by the purchase of equipment (PCs, smartphones, tablets …) for their contribution to the value of Internet subscriptions.

"For ten years, newspapers have made massive investments in the digital to win the battle of the Internet audience, says Marc Feuillée, president and CEO of SPQN group of Figaro. They have contributed to the rise of the digital economy while at the same time, value creation has benefited almost exclusively to technology players. "

A social issue

Kurt Salmon has calculated that 72% including news headlines highlighted on the Google News come from actors of the press online, against 28% who are from groups or audiovisual news agencies (AFP, Reuters …), and 30 to 40% of the news page of the portal Orange are also from news sites.

Considerable weight but that is not reflected in the value created by the digital economy, estimated at 10 billion euros per year (excluding equipment), revenue from digital media and had only 280 million euros in 2010, including 235 million in advertising and $ 45 million through the sale of content. 

The SPQN sees the opening of this debate a social issue, the press being the source of the media loop, that is to say, the first source of reliable information from other media, and therefore a essential to the general interest in the information society. "If we want to maintain quality information, it must regulate the digital marketplace," says Marc Feuillée.

Newsagents will choose their offer

The new Regulatory Authority for the distribution of the press (ARDP) makes his first arbitration. It just made enforceable reform of the assortment, which should allow 29,000 newsagents to choose some of the titles they wish to sell in order to respond more adequately to the demand of their customers. Adopted in November 2010 by the Supreme Council of the Courier Press (MHCP), this measure was blocked by a lawsuit from small publishers. The ARDP should also decide in the coming weeks on the adoption Tuesday by the MHCP new rules on notice of a transfer of securities to another email. According to the winning proposal, the notice period could now be conditioned on the seniority of the business relationship between the publisher and messaging and volume represented by the security involved in the transfer.

The salary, all countries are not on the same wavelength. The annual survey of international recruitment firm Robert Walters (*) shows the differences. In 2011, it was better to work in Germany or Brazil in the UK.

Germany, China, Brazil, Australia have indeed seen increased hiring and salaries of managers. The United Kingdom registered a decrease in compensation of 10%. In France, the pay increase was zero. The observation conceals extremes.

"In the first quarter, experienced managers have benefited from the carrier dynamics and wage inflation, making up two years of stagnation, and that in all trades and all sectors, says Antoine Morgaut, CEO Continental Europe and Latin America by Robert Walters. September marked the return of uncertainty. Recruitments were maintained in a market where demand frameworks has become structural, but overall the catch was interrupted. "

Premium experts

Only to take their game, the experts benefited from strong market demand shortage. Some, such as actuaries, consolidators, internal auditors, risk managers in banking, compliance officers, … SAP specialists have seen their wages increase to 25%. In middle management growth reached 10% on average. "Every year the valuation of experts working on niche markets is increasing," says Antoine Morgaut.

Meanwhile, salary ranges have tightened over the 10 years of experience and senior management, although with few peaks. A qualified actuary in 2011 (7 to 12 years of experience) for example has won between 75 and 115K € (**), a bank compliance officer (over 12 years experience) € 80 to 150K, a manager program in real estate from 60 to 110K € (6-10 years experience).

In 2012 the uncertainties, companies should be ungenerous earlier this year. Salaries will follow inflation, the bonus will be measured, rarely more than 15%, and very individualized, "because we can not afford to lose excellent employees or pass very good profiles," says Antoine Morgaut. Overall, the variable will range between 5% and 30%.

Results which are crippling the morale of the French managers: 48% now feel a loss of purchasing power. And comparing global employment should not give them a smile. According to a range of functions held by Robert Walters, France is down-banding, just ahead of Spain. The gap with Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium reached 20% to 30%. The DRH China and Australia, the Brazilian financial controllers are placed at the top and widen the gap.

"Sedimentation of frustration is high among French executives. At the slightest tremor positive they monnayeront shortage. The most spoiled in the coming years will undoubtedly experts, "said Antoine Morgaut.

"We can not supply indefinitely a bottomless pit": the confession of the German finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, the German radio SWR2, Wednesday, expresses out loud what some whisper softly to the more time passes Bruxelles.Car more Eurogroup is divided over the fate of Greece. And it is to avoid the cacophony that Jean-Claude Juncker has replaced the meeting of finance ministers of the euro area in Brussels by a simple conference call.

The time of the united front of Greece is over. "Confidence is waning," says Jean-Claude Juncker. Germany and Finland have joined the camp of the Netherlands who doubt the ability of Greece to rise. The euro area, said Wolfgang Schäuble, "is better prepared than two years ago" to a default of Greece.

Berlin refers to the firewall in place for six months to avoid contagion of the Greek crisis. The European Rescue Fund (EFSF) was equipped with 500 billion euros, Italy and Spain "have made great progress," says Wolfgang Schäuble, the new EU Treaty will enter into the marble of the dogma budgetary discipline.

Letter of commitment from Samaras and Papandreou

Within the Eurogroup, the balance is now moving in favor of hard-line supporters. But the doves did not give up: "The consequences of bankruptcy would be devastating," warns the Commissioner of the euro, Olli Rehn. France should keep silent, but it is on the same line confirms there be in Brussels. Ditto for the ECB. Portugal, also in support of the EU fears that the fall of Greece does not cause his own.

The division opens the door to all scenarios. One of them is to cut the aid package of 130 billion euros. A portion of at least 30 billion to private creditors would be released to encourage them to implement their agreement in principle to reschedule Greek debt and cash losses. The rest would be postponed, probably after the April elections.

In Athens, the political class realizes the danger of isolation. "We are on the razor's edge", Evangelos Venizelos launched, the Greek Minister of Finance. "Several European countries no longer want us in the euro area and we must fight to prove that we can achieve the objectives and implement the laws passed," he added.

Threats of default, exclusion of the euro area, the parties toe the line. Antonis Samaras, the leader of the Conservative opposition, New Democracy, and George Papandreou, the leader of PASOK, Socialist Party, signed a letter committing their parties to the implementation of austerity measures introduced in Parliament last Sunday. It was one of the conditions imposed by the Eurogroup. But is this enough happen to restore confidence in Europe? Nothing is less certain.

Sensitive issues for Air France were telescoped Friday. The specter of a new strike – which costs about € 8 million per day in the company – has not disappeared.

Thierry Mariani, the Minister of Transport, received Friday morning all the unions in the sector air about the proposed law on guaranteed service in the airline. He recalled that the four-day strike which ended Thursday night has caused the removal of 1,241 flights including 183 "hot", that is to say that the cabin crew did not show up at the last moment.

A social historical construction

Adamantly opposed to the central position of the text, that is to say, the obligation to go on strike 48 hours in advance, the unions reserve the right to initiate a new social movement during the February vacation. "The legislative session ends on March 6, it's just at holiday time. We do our fault, "said Yves Deshayes, the president of SNPL, main pilots' union.

For the government, "this law is necessary to enable that passengers are informed in advance of flight cancellations, which does not compromise the right to strike," reiterated Thierry Mariani. "When it is announced and it is predictable in advance, the cost of the strike is less," added the Minister.

The conflict comes as the management of Air France on Friday launched the start of a historical social construction. All collective agreements governing the employment of different categories of staff are set to flat. Friday, a central works council – disrupted by protesters – set a "method of agreement", that is to say a framework for establishing the timetable and objectives.  

Mid-March, a draft termination or renegotiation of agreements will be subject to consultation. That's when management and unions will come to the heart of dialogue. Both parties theoretically agree to fifteen months. "Given the state of the company, we are all agreed to enter into negotiation and move quickly," said Franck Mikula, president of the Unac, the largest union among the stewards and stewardesses. At a hearing of the company management in the Senate last Wednesday, HRD Group, Jean-Claude Cros, explained that he should certainly improve the effective working time of employees of the company. "Some agreements date from the years 1970, must be reformed. "

In recent weeks, Alexander Juniac provided guidance on the extent of its plan to reduce costs for three years. The first part intended to make one billion euros in savings by 2014 was detailed mid-January. Another billion euros must be cleared through the social measures taken by the summer by improving staff productivity. This effort could lead to job cuts. "But our CEO does not speak of the industrial project and gives us no guarantee on the job," laments Frank Mikula. Juniac Alexander explains that we will have to invent a new business model while renegotiating collective agreements. The high wire.
