Boeing included in the export statistics of the United States can also be included in part those of other supplier countries Same day payday loans. Also making a hard drive in Thailand, an input to the composition of the computers, involves components and parts from more than a dozen Asian and American.

The initiative of the WTO is "for the moment, more an aid to understanding a negotiation support," says Christophe flung, one of the project within the organization. The aim is to popularize the measurement of international trade to produce, over time, additional data on foreign trade. If it is completed, MiWi promote a measure of international trade more adapted to reality and offer a new angle of approach flow valuation.

Much bagaille should be avoided. While seven union stewards and hostesses of Air France had filed a strike notice for the next weekend (July 29 to August 1), the airline has come this Saturday morning to sign the minutes of end of conflict with union representatives. What not to many flight cancellations in the great cross-driven summer from July to August, and escape the nightmare scenario met in mid-July by the customers of Air Algeria. The Algerian company was also affected by a strike of its crews, resulting in the virtual paralysis of European flights to the country.

Whereas yesterday, the agreement has been finally found Saturday afternoon between the airline and the Inter (CGT, CFDT, CFTC, Unac, NPNC and UNSA), resulting in the lifting of the strike notice filed Monday.Only Southern Air has so far not given its approval. The seven organizations representing the commercial crews (PNC) called for the opening of negotiations on the organization of work, especially in the bases in the provinces, but also the medium-haul and long haul. This is now done, the group of Pierre-Henri Gourgeon has agreed to reopen discussions on the new rules of work (rest, compensation) provided to counter competition from low cost carriers.

Reopen negotiations next week

On this point, the flight attendants are opposed to such requirements in the new provincial bases (Marseille and Nice, Toulouse and Bordeaux) and denounce the proposed removal of a sailing aboard the Airbus A319 payday advance.They are supported in their claims by two minority unions of pilots (SPAF and Alter) who in turn refused to lift their notice for the next weekend. "The company has agreed to supply four A319 in the PNC until September 15," said Philippe Sport at UNSA. If it is impossible to have this number, the flight attendants should receive compensation (rest or premium). For its part, Air France said that the continuation of strike notice SPAF and Alter would have no significant impact on traffic. The reopening of negotiations with the flight crew should take place in the course of next week.

Still, the difficulties are not entirely discarded the French company, far from it. Management must also deal with Algeria-leAir SNPL resumption of talks, the union super majority in pilots.While the SNPL signed to 54% the proposed new work organization. But this time, the battle moves to the front of pensions. The powerful union remains opposed to the proposed reform of the pension fund additional pilots. Where a notice of strike filed this time from August 5 to 8, another busy weekend on the front of air traffic and going on holiday.

French, whatever the next president, get ready to shake your belt! Thursday, according to documents as a basis for negotiation, Paris was about to commit, as all the capitals of the euro area that are not within the scope of a program of assistance, to below 3% deficit in 2013 "at the latest." A number in the Maastricht Treaty in 1992, stalled for years, and seems about to revive …

In recent months, France has undertaken vis-à-vis Brussels to reduce the government deficit (state, local government, social security) to 6% of GDP in 2011, 4.6% in 2012 and finally precisely, to 3% in 2013.But this promise of the Fillon government takes a turn this time much more solemn.

The government has already ensured that he would take in Brussels "all necessary measures to respect the path of public finances notified in the stability program." He planned to continue the non-replacement of an official two retiring, reducing the operational expenditure of the state by 10% in three years to review all the operating expenses (66 billion euros) to make the same effort as running costs, and above all to continue the removal of tax and social niches.

On this last point, the new Minister of Economy, Baroin, began to prepare minds to new cuts.It is "very likely that we will go through the Finance Act 2012, beyond the 3 billion reduction in planned niches," he said in an interview with Le Figaro Magazine last week.

Increased tax burden

Because it considers the government's growth forecast (2.5%) too optimistic and they fear that public spending grows at the same pace as the past decade, the Senate Finance Committee has also recently warned that should get up to 11 billion euros of revenue or additional savings next year.

As for the Socialist Party, already in his primary campaign, he will have soon detailing how it intends to meet a commitment that is now required for all political camps if he returned to power next year.Because he wants to play the card of the seriousness, the goal of a return to 3% in 2013 is also included in its program. But for this, less emphasis on spending cuts than on tax burden increased by 50 billion.

The theme of discipline inevitably hover on the presidential campaign.

The theaters continue to amaze. In particular, the movie using the system Imax. "Many developers are using our cameras and our professional projection equipment, including Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson for Tintin and the next James Cameron for Avatar. In addition, the public is sure to witness a spectacle more "immersive" in our rooms. The films are projected with spotlights and a sound system Imax that guarantee a quality experience, especially for image brightness and width of the screen, "said Richard Gelfond, CEO of the Canadian technical company. But only 1% of cinemas use this system in the world.

In recent years, demand is growing: 430 rooms currently against 150 in 2009. The reasons? "The digital switchover has plunged the price of a copy of an Imax film averaged $ 30,000 in 1500 dollars.In addition, we launched a new funding model for supporting the main rooms of the financial risk for farmers who we are paid on average 20% of gross admissions, "said Richard Gelfond. To enhance its growth, China is Imax. "Within two years, the country will become more important for Europe in our sales. Yet we have 94 movie theaters equipped with the system in Europe against Imax fifty only in China. But we will build 50 this year. Eventually, we will have 177 in China, "says Richard Gelfond. Recently, Imax has concluded a funding agreement with the Chinese company Wanda Cinema Line for 75 rooms. The Canadian company hopes to rely "a total of 300 in 2016." The demand for film takes off in China, where the "price of tickets to Imax theaters is comparable to prices in Europe or the United States."And the increase in the price of a $ 2 for a movie at Imax system encourages the Chinese to go: speaking of this experience to those around them, the audience indicate their social status of those "easy".

Projects in Russia

In addition to China, involves the construction of Imax theaters in Russia but does not count too much on "India, where ticket prices are $ 2." The company has become a gem. Market capitalization ($ 1.8 billion) reached more than eight times its turnover in 2010. The Hexagon is a small country. In France last year, Gaumont Pathé has signed a contract for four Imax theaters. The result is the appointment. "Proceeds from Kung-Fu Panda was five times in theaters in Imax theaters as traditional.The average income is three to five times higher for a room equipped with Imax ensures a minimum quality for the viewer at the screening and squares have additional costs, "added the CEO. But there are only five Imax theaters in France that offer all the latest Harry Potter. To develop another career, that of the remastering of local films in Imax format, the company "needs a dozen Imax theaters," says the boss.

The wave of picnics and barbeques in the spring, made possible by an exceptionally favorable weather, had precipitated the French on the shelves of hypermarkets. Sales of water (8.2%), soft drinks (9.5%) and beer and cider (10.5%) had experienced progression insolent March-May (compared to the same period last year), according to data collected by SymphonyIRI. With highs in the purchase of ice cream and other frozen desserts (22.1%). Until insecticides (34.1%).

Manufacturers liked to dream of a vintage 2011 special that would forget the disappointing weather of August 2010. In fact, the weather will be "saved" a consumer already soft.

Even if the summer is still in its infancy, the reversal of June weather has dampened hopes.The rain and temperatures below normal even led to a decline in sales of water (-3.8%), beer and cider (-3.6%) and ice (-3.8%) the last month. Depressed by bad weather, the French have drowned their sorrow in soups, whose consumption is spread (+6.8%) after having faltered in the spring (-13.1%). They also caught up on purchases of frozen quiches and other savory (+7%). Our citizens spend more time indoors, ready meals have also been popular last month (5%).

The end of "catch up"

Beyond these products susceptible to weather, changes in consumption in June promises to be a turnaround. "Over the years, stopping at the end of February, the consumer was doing extremely well, says Jacques Dupré, Director at Insight SymphonyIRI.And all the rays took advantage of the situation in times of great price stability, or even deflation (-0.3% year to date through February). "

After having tightened their belts during the crisis, consumers are caught up by buying products "pleasure" as the food caterer. Then, as he did fine, the French continued to spend, which supported consumption in the spring. Furthermore, while retailers announced in March of annual price increases of close to 2%, the increases were not noticeable ray (0.7%) with the exception of certain categories of products such as flour, oil or coffee, closely linked to changes in raw materials."Despite the boost from the weather, we started to see a real slowdown in early May, with growth in sales of consumer products by 1%, with inflation of 1.3% on same month, "says Jacques Dupré.

From May to June, the price increase (2.2% in June compared to June 2010) has changed all that. If it has boosted sales of consumer goods (+2.6%), it may slow consumer spending over the coming months. "If future inflation was 2.5%, we could have a single stable consumption volume close to zero in hypermarkets and supermarkets on the end of the year," said Jacques Dupré. According Gaëlle Le Floch, Director Strategic Insight in WorldPanel Kantar, "private labels could then have a playing card."
