If the producer of electricity from wind energy can be proud of having agreements with its major creditors to reduce its debt, investors themselves have mostly held that accompanied this restructuring – subject to acceptance general meeting in early 2010 – a capital increase to a maximum of about 100 million euros from current shareholders, whose holdings would then be diluted. "The Council plans to launch a capital increase in spring 2010," reads the statement issued today by Theolia.
Call for support

The report also highlights that wind can generate a net profit in the event of a price increase of fossil fuels, which the most energy experts are convinced.The Union of renewable energy sources (RES) and the wind industry, Wind Energy France (ESRF), recall here that the cost of wind energy, about 80 euros / MWh (megawatt hour), is "very close that of conventional thermal plants, while presenting an additional advantage in terms of security of supply and CO2 savings.
From a tax perspective, the sector was welcome in France, the amendment passed there only a week, bringing the level of the flat tax to which the turbines are subject to the same amount to than other means of producing electricity.

"Serenity insured for your Christmas shopping: place an order before 12:30 pm December 22 with fast delivery or before 16:30 December 23 with the Lightning shipping, and Amazon.fr you book in time for Christmas in metropolitan France and Monaco!". In his mail, Amazon reassuring. However, a strike after the tip of his nose in the only warehouse logistics France, in Saran, Loiret. On site, 40 employees on the 1200 account that the site have ceased trading on Tuesday's call to denounce FO difficult working conditions and wages too low.
The trigger was the decision of management to Amazon to unilaterally raise salaries by 1.5%. "We wanted a dialogue and we have not been heeded. This increase represents an increase of 18 to 20 euros net per month.It is insufficient to increase purchasing power, "complains Sebastian Boissonnet, Steward FW from Amazon. The union does not fail to recall that in the third quarter, the site of online sales has earned a 68% growth in net income. Its operating profit rose 62% to 251 million dollars for a turnover up 28% to 5.45 billion dollars.
Recognizing this, the strikers demanded a general increase of 4.8%, a 13th month for employees, supervisors and managers, meal vouchers supported 60% by the company, and finally a budget increase of Works for social works.

When one points out, we answered 'done with'.On 7 hours of work, we have only 23 minutes break, so we ask for 10 more minutes, "says Sebastian Boissonnet.
The pressure is also very hierarchical palpable. Hence the low mobilization. "There are services management at the plant. Since Tuesday, the manager came to us saying 'think about what you do'. "
For now, the union discussed the action in motion. This is the first strike from Amazon. A baptism that the company could have done at this time of celebration. Especially since the group table, during this period, a boom in sales of between 21% and 36% compared to fourth quarter 2008.
Sequences "emotion" and "crop" this Friday at the close of the 49th congress of the CGT in Nantes. Bernard Thibault, exhausted by a week of sometimes heated debates and visibly excited to have been renewed for the fourth time at the head of the CGT, first paid tribute to "six comrades" who leave the executive confederal "after rendered such services. " Among them, two leading figures of this decade: Maryse Dumas, his right arm on employment issues, and Jean-Christophe Le Duigou, the "Mr. Economy and Pensions" of the plant.
Bernard Thibault, who had gathered yesterday on behalf of 88.4% of the votes for the election of the Executive Committee, then cropped activists who have criticized his lack of involvement on the ground and its rapprochement with the CFDT. Particularly highlighting the vote by 77.5% of the delegates of the progress report of the past three years."It's a very honorable to score a direction supposedly cut off from its base," he joked, saying in passing that Nicolas Sarkozy would like to receive the same level of approval of French policy that led to the Elysee.
And the secretary general of the CGT then push the nail against those who disrupted the debate sometimes during the week and gave a divided image of the plant. "It can not be the CGT opposition and majority, he hammered the applause of the audience. There is no line of management, because management implements the guidelines validated by the Congress. "And this is not the great majority of the 1 000 delegates of the 49th Congress which contradict the resolutions of the document guidance for the next three years that received between 73 and 86% of the votes.The CGT knows where it goes, he still drummed, while specifying that the central union will not "attractive if it gives the image that his first battle is internal.
"The Internationale" raised fist
Wishing a CGT "closer, more united and effective," Bernard Thibault has drawn the roadmap for the coming months. "Our priority is the transformation of society," he said. Its power plant will therefore go on retreats launched by Nicolas Sarkozy. "The future of pensions will be the marker for the determination of employee resistance", he warned the head of state. The CGT also ensure that employers does not set wages and employment."The increase in salaries is the key to ending the crisis," he said.
The leader of the CGT has finally made an appointment to his "comrades" for two mobilizations to come: a euromanifestation March 24 to get a boost in employment at European level and a national campaign to defend public services in stride. And said, for those who doubt that the CGT would not wait the end of March "for organiserd'autres appointments and inter-national".
The message is clear: the CGT has not changed, it is always with those who struggle.And the Internationale, sung to finish his fist raised by the Secretary General and the thousands of delegates – admittedly preceded La Marseillaise but sung with more gusto – aimed to demonstrate.

It will not take long to react to France! On Wednesday, Britain announced that its 2009 bonus traders would be taxed at 50% for amounts exceeding 25 000 pounds, which should generate approximately 600 million euros to the state. From Thursday, the Elysee confirmed the intention of France to do likewise.
The purpose of government is very clear: to encourage banks to strengthen their equity rather than pay generous bonuses, while they were supported or bailed out with public money during the crisis.
The principle, an act by the French government, would impose "exceptional" banks on the amount of premiums distributed in 2010 under the year 2009. The rate used by France could be slightly lower than Great Britain, "because France pay more tax," said a government source.The amount at which the establishment will be taxed, it would be the "magnitude" of amounts retained by Great Britain.
Towards a Global Compact?
This Thursday, the banks do not wish to comment on the news. One speaker merely highlight the lack of understanding of the profession in this way then that "French banks are the only way to comply with binding rules of the G20 and they reported 2 billion to the state this year.
The idea running through the heads of the French for several months now: August 25 last, while Nicolas Sarkozy had called all the bankers at the Elysee, he had already discussed "the establishment in all financial centers of sitting fee Bonus distribution.But surprisingly, while France tried to rally his neighbors across the Channel for several weeks at his position on the benefits of more regulation on earnings in finance, she was finally seeing that it was he who throws the water! "There is now no doubt, France will make arrangements," said the entourage of the Minister of Economy Christine Lagarde.
Remains that France, like England – which, beyond the political weight of the measure are well aware of economic realities – hope the approach will be part of "a new international pact, wrote Thursday British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy in an article published Thursday in The Wall Street Journal."It is clear that action can only be global," they insist.
That is why Gordon Brown has sent a letter Thursday to the leaders of the European Union, calling to discuss a tax bonus bank. "We must redress the balance of risks, rewards and responsibilities between the company and the financial sector," says he.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, was eager to find "very charming and teaching" the idea of a tax basis. The topic should be discussed this Thursday evening at the European Council. The idea of Europe is obviously weighing on Americans.They know that all financial markets, including Wall Street, must abide by the same rules if some do not want to appear less competitive and attractive than others.
