			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The record Domenech is nearing completion. According to France Info radio quoted a source close to the matter, the French Football Federation (FFF) has sent a letter of dismissal to his former coach, Raymond Domenech, who is still an employee of the National Technical Directorate (DTN). Information that Fernand Duchaussoy, acting president of the FFF, neither confirms nor denies. &quot;While he has not received his letter, he does not know, I&#39;m not going to make a statement like that &#8230; The process is supervised,&quot; he said Saturday. </p>
<p> Domenech could also blame a serious mistake to FFF </p>
<p> The nature of the dismissal is not known: misconduct or not. According to France Info, the first solution was chosen.Three facts are alleged to Raymond Domenech: not having shaken hands with the opposing coach, Carlos Alberto Pareira after the match against South Africa, having read the famous mutineers release of players and not telling Escalettes (former President of the FFF) qu&#39;Anelka had told him in mid-time of a technical analysis of a certain depth. In the eyes of the FFF, all this would be a &quot;serious mistake&quot;, leading to immediate dismissal and up to the door without compensation. </p>
<p> A decision that could challenge in conducting the case before the tribunal. And for two reasons: firstly, Raymond Domenech no longer occupies the position he held when the facts alleged against him, on the other hand, it can be argued that Laurent Blanc, the new coach of the Blues assumed his duties before July 31, or the formal end of his contract of coach of Team France.In other words, neither party would have an interest in this case to go to the tribunals of one hand not to tarnish further their respective images and the other not to turn this case series. </p>
<p> &quot;We&#39;ll go faster&quot; </p>
<p> Where an amicable agreement between the two parties would be found, the former coach of the Blues paid about 12,000 euros a month on fourteen dates as all employees of the FFF, could affect up to 340,000 euros, according to the Parisien. Le Journal du Dimanche progressed, the last weekend, the sum of 500,000 euros, and France Soir, &quot;between 1.5 and 2 million euros,&quot; it is ten days. </p>
<p> If one believes the words of Acting President of the FFF, it would move more towards an amicable settlement. &quot;We will go fast, Raymond Domenech wants too. There will probably be a negotiation.It is not a business like any other, but we, like others, a business, &quot;he says. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The Paris Bourse started the day on a slight gain: 0.31% to 3536.95 points. In London, the FTSE was up 0.30% to 5211.05 points in early trade. The German Dax climbed 0.20% to 6017.19 points. </p>
<p> Markets are still clinging to macroeconomic announcements, only able to move the index in August. On Monday, the Institute has unveiled a Markit composite PMI index in France to 59 points in August against 59.7 in July. This is its lowest level in five months. The services PMI index stood at 59.9 against 60.5 expected and 61.1 in July.For its part, the manufacturing PMI stood at 54.7 against 53.4 expected and 53.9 in July, its highest in two months. </p>
<p> The rest of the week promises to be loaded including unemployment figures in France in July (Wednesday), the new home sales and durable goods orders in July in the U.S. (Wednesday) and weekly entries to unemployment overseas (Thursday). </p>
<p> The hesitation may yet be well on the markets on Monday. After closing largely under the 3600 points on Friday, down 1.30% net, the CAC 40 should be difficult to get out of the red zone. With two weeks of decline, Wall Street does not give signals of optimism. For their part, Asian markets are very hesitant, juggling between gains and declines for several sessions.At the Paris Bourse, the key index also remained febrile throughout the week, erasing gains from one month to return to its levels of July. </p>
<p> Note that the side of currencies this morning, the euro is still on track against the dollar. He won 0.12% to 1.2714 dollar. </p>
<p> Values follow </p>
<p> Until the weekend, charged in half-yearly publication, the day of Monday is quiet on the side advertisements.</p>
<p> Brussels plans to dismiss the complaint against the French state by telecom operators Orange (France Telecom: 1.27% to 16.30 euros), SFR (Vivendi: 0.06% to 17.66 euros) and Bouygues Telecoms (-0.37% to 32.43 euros) in the allocation of the fourth 3G mobile license to Free (Iliad: 0.25% to 68.59 euros), La Tribune reported Monday. </p>
<p> GDF Suez (0.46% to 25.09 euros) is interested in acquiring sites for storing gas sold by Exxon Mobil and Shell, valued around one billion euros, according to a report in Le Figaro on Saturday. </p>
<p> Carrefour (-0.22% to 35.67 euros) will launch a new concept of hypermarkets to address the erosion of its customers.</p>
<p> The absence for several days, any public information on the new presumed interest of Sanofi-Aventis (0.73 to 45.30 euros ù) for American Genzyme could mean that both sides have begun discussions, says Geoffrey Porges, an analyst at Sanford Bernstein </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Between business and ecology, this is not a love story. More than half of French companies reported that they did not intend to invest in sustainable development, according to a survey * BVA-line today at the Ministry of Economy. </p>
<p> Results that &quot;contrasts with a poll CGPME March 2010 in which 81% of SMEs said they had&quot; built into their thinking &quot;on sustainable development, says the summary of the study. </p>
<p> From there to pass the act &#8230; &quot;There&#39;s still a gap between thought and investment,&quot; says Bercy. Is it lack of interest? To avoid additional costs? The study does not answer. But she notes that the average conceals wide disparities by size of business. </p>
<p> Only TPE is a majority (56%) not intend to invest.From 10 employees, companies have either already invested or plan to invest. </p>
<p> The SMEs are medium sized (50 to 249 employees) the most advanced. &quot;Without doubt they react faster to trends.&quot; Nearly half have already invested in sustainable development. </p>
<p> Larger companies (more than 250 employees) are slightly less likely to have invested, but they are twice as likely as mid-sized SMEs intend to do. </p>
<p> Companies that invest the most say in the sustainable development belong primarily to the agricultural sector, construction and services.Sustainable development is probably made by these companies from an environmental perspective, &quot;these sectors more than others is subject to obligations or strong incentives matter (fertilizer use, emissions of greenhouse gases including ) &quot;concludes the study </p>
<p> * Survey conducted by the Institute at the request of the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Employment and the Department of Budget, Public Accounts and State Reform. </p>
<p> Conducted from May 26 to June 10, 2010 with 701 business leaders, HR and Executive Committee members. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> To remove the controversy on the concerns of receipt of the iPhone 4, Apple and its CEO have found a solution: to affirm that all smartphones have suffered a loss of reception bars when they are kept on hand to somehow. For Apple, the controversy surrounding his new phone, called the U.S. of &quot;Antennagate&quot; is in fact more of fashion design mobile phones that the iPhone 4 itself. &quot;We&#39;re not perfect, the phones are not perfect,&quot; Steve Jobs defended himself Friday night. </p>
<p> To support his theory, since Apple has put together a special page on its website in which we see in videos BlackBerry Bold 9700 HTC Droid Eris, the Samsung Omnia and iPhone 3G II lose reception bars when they are kept on hand. The external antenna on the iPhone 4, which is more easily disturbed by contact with skin, aggravate anything.But the methodology of these tests has not been disclosed. </p>
<p> These denials have triggered this weekend the wrath of Apple&#39;s competitors, even though no one has accused him of cheating. &quot;RIM&#39;s attempt to lead in a crisis that Apple is responsible is unacceptable,&quot; responded vehemently CEOs of the Canadian group. The maker of BlackBerry explains willfully &quot;avoided designs such as the one used by Apple for its iPhone 4 and [their] favor innovative designs that reduce the risk of dropped calls&quot; in areas poorly covered. </p>
<p> The other reactions are in proportion. Bullied to a video of Apple, Samsung said that the antenna&#39;s Omnia II is located in the center of the device, which reduces the risk of disruption and allows him to deny any reception problems.HTC, meanwhile, opposes a series of numbers to assert that the complaints related to the reception quality is much lower than those recorded on the iPhone 4. Arranged by Apple, Nokia boasts of his expertise since &quot;decades&quot;. &quot;If there is conflict, we give priority to the performance of the antenna on the physical design,&quot; says the Finnish group. </p>
<p> Apple is visiting his secret chambers </p>
<p> This burst of feedback sounds like a revenge of historical manufacturers of mobile phones. Faced with a newcomer today although cumbersome, they underline the block and amateurish errors. According to Bloomberg, the head of antennas at Apple, Ruben Cabarello, had warned his superiors of the risks posed by the design of the iPhone 4 on the quality of reception. But Apple would have remained riveted on this design.Since the article has been publicly described as &quot;shit box&quot; by Steve Jobs, who had assured discovered until recently. </p>
<p> Engaged in a war of communications, Steve Jobs was still &quot;deeply sorry&quot; for its customers who encountered problems, but mainly wanted to give assurances of the seriousness of his team, explaining that the iPhone has had four &quot;the most advanced antenna ever seen. Usually so secretive, the company partially opened to the press its laboratories. In all, the group claimed to have spent over 100 million dollars to develop its campus in California seventeen rooms experimental mobile reception, staffed by top scientists. </p>
<p> This controversy, which affects the image of the brand, does not yet spread on sales.Apple has been three million iPhone 4 in three weeks and financial analysts have revised downward their forecasts nor nor their notes on the action. While minimizing the problems, Apple has still decided to offer up to the end of September to all customers, protective shells, which suppress the plastic skin contact. This measure was estimated at fifty million dollars. &quot;[Our] customers do not need to put their BlackBerry in a holster to maintain good connectivity,&quot; joked RIM. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Farmer in Nizhny Novgorod, east of Moscow, is desperate Kassoumov Acker. This summer, because of the drought, &quot;the grain of wheat could not germinate,&quot; laments the operator in front of cameras showing the chain Volga an ear of corn all withered. Result, the performance of his farm is expected to reach ten quintals per hectare instead of 28 quintals provided. As to the 210 acres of grass hay sown a few months ago, &quot;they have been wasted,&quot; says Acker Kassoumov. </p>
<p> After a very cold winter and snow, this year Russia is experiencing one of the worst droughts in its history, as in 1972 when the USSR was forced to import wheat. In the Volga basin, but also in Siberia, the mercury rises, reaching 35 degrees for several weeks in Krasnodar (southern).In Ulyanovsk, 900 miles southeast of Moscow, only 200,000 tons of wheat should be harvested, against more than one million tonnes last year. </p>
<p> Nineteen areas in particular suffer from this episode extreme climate, mainly located in the southern basin of the Volga River where the water, whether drinking purposes or watering, is sorely lacking. &quot;There is not a question of financial loss, but survival of peasants!&quot; Has alarmed Skourikhine Pavel, President of the National Union of Producers of wheat, at a press conference Moscow. Many farms are facing bankruptcy <a href="http://payday-badcredit.com">payday advance</a><!-- . -->. Given the urgency of the situation, the authorities of countries have expressed readiness to help these nineteen regions. Budgetary allocations will be granted at rates well below inflation (2% per year over five years).A total budget of 40 billion rubles is raised (about one billion euros), a figure corresponding to the amount of losses as assessed by the daily Kommersant. </p>
<p> Unlike their Western colleagues in such circumstances, the Russian agricultural officials are careful not to formally assign catastrophism, making sure to thank the Kremlin for their efforts. </p>
<p> Wheat prices soar </p>
<p> Professionals note in Siberia, a drought will resume wheat prices, to offset the fall in prices that occurred last year after a phase of overproduction. Prices were burning this weekend on U.S. and European markets for wheat, before a lull yesterday. </p>
<p> Subsequent events depend on the duration of the heatwave, which has experienced five episodes equivalents for 130 years.No meteorologist provides improvement in the medium term, however, but spread to the Far East of Russia. Whether in the Orthodox churches or the plains of Tatarstan Muslim, religious leaders pray for the return of rain. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> On this day a national holiday in France, the economic future clouded for the United States. Retail sales fell 0.5% in June after falling 1.1% in May, and import prices fell 1.3% last month. Some due to a 2.3% drop in auto sales, others because of falling oil prices and rising dollar. All these indicators disappointing in addition to reserves of crude continue to decline. Only bonen news: the budget deficit continues to decline. If Congress sees an encouraging sign, he is aware that the United States enjoy the benefits of its rescue plan and the increase in assets held by the Fed. </p>
<p> In these circumstances, the Fed seeks to be less optimistic about the United States.Within minutes of its monetary policy meeting in June released Wednesday, the Fed has lowered its forecast for growth in the U.S. this year. U.S. GDP is expected to be between 3% and 3.5%, while three months ago, it was a growth from 3.2% to 3.7%. </p>
<p> Consequently, the Fed anticipates a slower decline in unemployment this year. The unemployment rate should be between 9.2% and 9.5%, between 8.3% and 8.7% in 2011 (against 8.1% to 8.5% projected earlier) and between 7.1 % and 7.5% in 2012 (against 6.6% and 7.5%). </p>
<p> Fear of deflation </p>
<p> The deteriorating outlook led the U.S. central bank to consider further action on monetary policy to support the U.S. economy. Its leaders have already agreed a policy accommodative, ie a decline in interest rates was not necessary.&quot;The committee would need to consider whether further support could be appropriate if the outlook were to worsen significantly,&quot; we read in the minutes. He added: &quot;A small number of participants cited a risk of deflation.&quot; </p>
<p> Anyway, it is clear that the maintenance of low levels of interest rates does not seem to be enough to revive the U.S. economy more vigorously. The meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee of 22 and 23 June had maintained the interest rate the Fed close to zero, in hopes of boosting up the credit and economic activity. </p>
<p> Wall Street plunges into the red </p>
<p> The markets have been quick to respond to these new expectations: having moved solidly in the green mid-session, the NYSE has quickly sunk into the red.Around 8:40 p.m., the Dow Jones lost 0.40% to 10,321 points and the S &amp; P 500 retreated 0.46% to 1090 points, while Nasdaq was flat at 2,242 points. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Betwixt and cons crisis, employee ownership is booming, if you believe a study of the consulting firm Hewitt Associates, which interviewed 56 companies, listed on the Paris Bourse, the CAC 40 SBF SBF 120 or 250. Among them, 88% claimed to have in 2010 further encouraged their employees to become shareholders, 92% through the CIPF (mutual fund company), 47% through actions. 26% of companies offer bonus shares, which represents almost two times more than in 2009. </p>
<p> Last year, despite the crisis, they have continued to assist their employees in their savings effort: nearly half of companies have set up a contribution. Nearly 70% of companies shall, in addition to developing new employee share plans at least every two years.Convinced of the value of the managerial ownership, 91% of businesses use it to reinforce the sense of employee and 63% for muscle motivational forces. </p>
<p> Finally, 59% say there are more pragmatically additional financial benefits to supplement wages sometimes down. But employee ownership offers advantages that &#8230; Too strong, it might even be a hindrance if the company wants to open its capital: 50% of companies (against 27% in 2009) suggest a reluctance on their main shareholders development of employee ownership. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> At the edge of the wreck, SeaFrance yesterday presented a rescue plan providing for the removal of 725 of 1580 jobs in the company of French Channel ferry. Former Sealink currently backup procedure, had, initially, 482 scheduled departures. &quot;We needed a gain of productivity is very important because the company lost 15 million euros in first four months of 2010,&quot; said Vincent Launay, Director General of SeaFrance. The situation, already tense because of strong competition and also the British Channel Tunnel, has further deteriorated after the strike in four days held during the Easter weekend. SeaFrance had lost 1.25 million at that time. </p>
<p> Capital contribution </p>
<p> The new effort called the company will probably be the last. The savings deposits are increasingly difficult to identify.Indeed, SeaFrance is no longer operating a single line (Calais-Dover) and uses more than four boats, three ferries. </p>
<p> &quot;We will optimize the use of staff time based on business days, seasons, rotation, said Vincent Launay, in the service sector we do not have all the shops and all restaurants are open, then there are only a few dozen people on board. &quot; </p>
<p> The company SeaFrance had placed under the supervision of the Commercial Court of Paris in April. It will soon be requesting the conversion of the backup procedure in receivership. </p>
<p> The situation is very delicate in April, the debt amounted to 185 million for 0.07 million of equity. Last year the company lost 36 million to 170 million turnover.</p>
<p> Now the future of SeaFrance through a capital contribution of its 100% shareholder, SNCF. &quot;It would take about 190 million,&quot; says one with SeaFrance. The importance of the recovery plan is also justified by the need to convince the European competition of efforts by SeaFrance to extricate himself. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Europe must move faster on the regulation of short sales. This is the opinion of Christine Lagarde, who yesterday called Brussels to &quot;accelerate the work so we can have a coordinated position at European level&quot;. The Financial Services Commissioner, Michel Barnier, a device must submit by the fall, but Paris would like to see proposals from Brussels in July or later in September. </p>
<p> The idea being &quot;that is not each other, here or there, tempted to keep up&quot; with other countries that have already taken action on their part. &quot;We will soon impose more stringent rules to harmonize the practices and tools for supervisors, install a coordinating framework for the supervisors, which is not the case today,&quot; says Michel Barnier to Le Figaro. The Commission is ready to offer this new framework &quot;at the end of September,&quot; he insists.The French commissioner however said he will return to the supervisor of each country, given its assessment of the situation in its markets, to take measures of its choice. </p>
<p> This is precisely what comes to Germany. After banning short selling &quot;naked&quot; on the bonds in the euro area, on certain types of CDS &#8211; a contract of insurance against default risk &#8211; and the shares of ten financial institutions, Berlin went further yesterday by adopting a bill that extends the prohibition to all stocks. </p>
<p> Technical challenge </p>
<p> Short sales are sophisticated technical exchanges to sell shares they do not yet own, hoping to repurchase them at a lower price later, pocketing the difference. When they are &quot;naked&quot;, the investor sells securities he does not even borrowed.The technique is challenged, because accused of encouraging speculation down. But the unilateral initiative of Berlin was cringe. Christine Lagarde has deplored the lack of coordinated European and ensured that Paris would not follow that path Berlin while recalling that France already bans on short selling certain financial stocks since 2008. </p>
<p> Berlin&#39;s position is criticized both in London and Paris. &quot;There is certainly not a unanimous position&quot; between the European regulators, &quot;said Chairman of the Committee of European stock market regulators (CESR), Eddy Wymeersch. The framework will present Michel Barnier will solve only part of the problem. In terms of financial supervision, said it does in Brussels, &quot;the Commission does not decide, she proposes.If the Council does not follow, it does not advance. </p>
