			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> This is the most reassuring news announced by the U.S. authorities for more than two months. According to Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen American to oversee cleanup operations in the Gulf of Mexico, BP should be able to contain 100% the gap in the well from which oil flows to by Monday. A new funnel, bigger than previous ones, is currently installed by the British oil. </p>
<p> This funnel, called &quot;Top Hat Number 10&quot;, should recover up to 80,000 barrels of oil per day (12.7 million liters), against 25,000 now. The authorities are optimistic that based on their assessments, the well lost more than 60,000 barrels per day. The previous dome will be first removed. A large quantity of oil escape so well for 48 hours.But once the new funnel posed, the results will be immediate, promises Thad Allen. </p>
<p> Since April 20, the day of the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon platform off the coast of Louisiana, BP has increased its attempts to clogging, all unsuccessful. </p>
<p> No stop before August </p>
<p> BP was more cautious in its forecasts. Bob Dudley, responsible for managing the disaster, spoke of another scenario where difficulties in installing the new funnel could delay the time from Monday to Thursday. </p>
<p> But authorities are confident: &quot;We have the climate we need,&quot; said Thad Allen. The admiral, however, required to calm the enthusiasm that followed the announcement. &quot;I used the word &#39;contain&#39; and not &#39;stop&#39;,&quot; he commented. According to him, the well would not be closed as well as two-pass will not be completed.These wells, dug deep to inject cement and mud, should not be installed until mid-August. Once the leak stopped, the extensive cleaning and restoration of the ratings will continue. </p>
<p> Anadarko does not pay </p>
<p> On this last point, BP was again struck Friday denied Anadarko Petroleum. The company, which owns 25% of wells responsible for the spill, said she would not pay the $ 272 million that BP is asking her to cover their share of cleanup costs, according to U.S. law known pollution. </p>
<p> On June 18, the tension was raised a notch between the two partners lorsqu&#39;Anadarko stated that the explosion of April 20 on the platform Deepwater Horizon, &quot;was preventable and was a direct result of decisions and actions BP unthinking.</p>
<p> In another e-mail sent Friday, a spokesman for Anadarko, John Christiansen, however, felt that his group remained &quot;committed to working in good faith with BP to reach a satisfactory resolution.&quot; </p>
<p> BP is now awaiting the response of Mitsui, which owns 10% of the wells. The British oil giant is claiming $ 112 million for cleanup costs. The company has not yet made its position. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> How did the aircraft through the crisis? </p>
<p> Experts cabinet Alixpartner highlight the &quot;resilience&quot; rather remarkable aerospace facing a crisis which has &quot;devastated most industries, in the words of Eric Bernardini, Associate Director. After three years of strong growth (+15 to +17%), the slowdown has been severe but the activity remained positive with an increase of 2% in the world. This, in an environment where credit was becoming scarce and expensive. </p>
<p> This resilience reflects the fact that the aviation industry is a long cycle that &quot;smooth&quot; dips and rebounds of activity.When the crisis broke out, the order books are well filled &#8211; they are between 6 and 7 years of work with Airbus and Boeing, for example &#8211; the U.S. defense budget remains high at over 600 billion dollars and companies will react quickly launching plans for reorganization to optimize their cost base. But the overall increase in activity concealed differences: the regional airline and business aviation have suffered more from the crisis in commercial aviation (aircraft above 110 seats). </p>
<p> What about 2010? </p>
<p> &quot;Do not expect to find pre-crisis levels,&quot; warns Eric Bernardini. The first quarter of the year was marked by a 9% drop in shipments compared to the same period of 2009 with 261 aircraft confondues.Cela all categories, while new orders taken are not strong after the fall of 70% of last year.</p>
<p> Several negative factors do not advocate a resumption free. First, the defense budget at best stagnant in the West with a likely decline in the U.S. and cuts already adopted in France, Germany and Great Britain. This marks a break with the period 1999-2009. In ten years, this budget has increased by 167% in the USA, 104% in France, but 181% in Saudi Arabia, Russia 272% and 294% in China. &quot;But in real terms, the EU budget has stagnated, it has instead increased in the rest of the world,&quot; the study said. </p>
<p> Then, weak clients in commercial aviation. &quot;With 0.5% margin forecast by 2010, the airline business model is not profitable in the long term,&quot; said Thierry Down, Alixpartner partner in the firm.Majors are also increasingly threatened by the rise of new players from the Asia-Pacific region and Middle East policies that lead to acquisitions of new equipment and aggressive pricing as well as the installation in the landscape of low cost. </p>
<p> And in the longer term? </p>
<p> The aviation industry is expected, according Alixpartner remain a growth industry. Thanks to the strength of emerging markets in Asia Pacific and Middle East in the years to come. The study of new aircraft deliveries projected to increase 15% per year by 2028, three times faster than air traffic. </p>
<p> The contract will be subject to strong pressure on prices with the arrival of new competitors in particular on the lucrative segment of the short and medium haul routes.The C-Series from Canada&#39;s Bombardier and Mitsubishi MRJ Japanese between 2013 and 2015 and the C-919 Chinese Comac to 2017 (and perhaps also a future large-derived Embraer E-190) will break the duopoly of Airbus Boeing and their A 320 and B 737. The arrival of his new players posed with even more accuité the issue of repowering existing Airbus and Boeing or the launch of new devices. </p>
<p> The pressure on prices will be high on the international defense market, U.S. groups seek growth from outside their borders. And taking probably the way of acquisitions. </p>
<p> What lessons did from the crisis? </p>
<p> Aerospace has been facing the worst crisis of his violent history at a time when she changed her business model.Boeing led the way, followed by Airbus, opting for the outsourcing of whole aircraft to major partners who share the financial risk and industry (risk-sharing partners). The model is not fixed so far, but already he designed a new deal between manufacturers and suppliers of rank 1. &quot;It is evolving towards a model where not only the charges and development will be shared but also the earnings. Some vendors provide penalties for delay if the programs of manufacturers are backlogged. This can be a risky gamble for the supplier but overall, the balance of power balances gradually &quot;, explains Thierry down. </p>
<p> Result: 8.6% in 2009, the profitability of major equipment has become for the first time higher than that of manufacturers that spring to 6.2%.Overall, manufacturers have been penalized by delays in recovery of their new programs (B 787, A 380 and A 400M), which has cost them billions of euros and has weighed on their accounts. Mais ces chiffres globaux cachent à nouveau de grandes disparités et mettent en lumière la faiblesse des acteurs européens par rapports aux géants américains. &quot;In our study, few major European suppliers are well placed. the winners are those who realize a significant part of their business in the United States as the British Cobham, &quot;said Eric Bernardini. The French equipment already handicapped by a structure of costs in euros on a market where the reference currency is the dollar, are particularly poorly placed with margin levels that are almost the double. </p>
<p> It is therefore urgent to organize and optimize its cost structure.Some have understood like a Zodiac, which has returned to acquisitions and has balanced its business conducted in dollars and one conducted in euro. French SMEs are particularly vulnerable because they are too small and no financial base. &quot;Some have understood that they must join forces and others not,&quot; note the experts at AlixPartners. In Aerostructures (elements that when assembled form the fuselage of the plane) there is urgency with four players in France (15 in Europe) against the giant American Spirit and subsidiaries of major Japanese companies Mitsubishi and Kawasaki. </p>
<p> Mergers and acquisitions will they return? </p>
<p> Yes, says the study. Especially since they have not stopped but simply slowed during the crisis operations from 238 to 156 between 2008 and 2009. In the first quarter of 2010, we are 51.The Americans who were most active on this front between 2005 and 2009 with 484 operations should continue to play outposts. If Europeans have been rather discreet in number of transactions in the period with the notable exception of Thales, they have been very active if we take the size criteria for acquisitions. Leader in this category, Italy&#39;s Finmeccanica. But in none of the categories cited by the study is EADS, the European giant who nevertheless want to ensure complete acquisitions in order to realign its business in the defense and security. </p>
<p> The Aerostructures segment very crumbled, electrical systems and maintenance and repair should experience the largest wave of consolidation, particularly in Europe. In total, the five main players in these three activities controlled only 40%, 40% and 27% market share.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> A half percentage point. This may seem insignificant, but when it comes to U.S. growth, the news is important. Between the first and the last estimate of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the number of U.S. growth will have lost 0.5 points from 3.2% in the first estimate in April to 2.7% for the third and final version broadcast Friday. </p>
<p> This reflects &quot;an upward revision to imports and a downward revision to consumer spending,&quot; says the Department of Commerce. A phenomenon only partly offset by &quot;an upward revision of exports and changes in business inventories.&quot; </p>
<p> &quot;It&#39;s disappointing,&quot; Judge Inna Mufteeva, economist at Natixis U.S..&quot;Consumer spending was revised down from 3.5% to 3% <a href="http://payday-loans-nofax.com">payday loan online</a><!-- . -->. Shortly reassuring, while half of this increase can be attributed to the plan of Barack Obama, according to Natixis. The fact that fiscal stimulus should deflate during the second half of the year. </p>
<p> Also somewhat reassuring, the growth was largely supported (1.9 to 2.7%) by a motor very tentative: the recovery of businesses. Explanation: During the crisis, American companies have used their stocks. Until no longer have anything in their warehouses. In recent months, they have therefore produced and placed an order to replenish their stocks, thereby amplifying the rebound in growth. Good news is that the investment factor for structural growth, jumped 11% in the first quarter of 2010. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Eric Woerth held on time. Like its predecessor Xavier Darcos promised, the new Minister of Labour sent Wednesday afternoon the bill on social dialogue in very small businesses to members of the National Commission of the collective agreement and the Higher Council The probity. This text, which must still be approved by the State Council before being presented May 12 in the Cabinet, sets the conditions for measuring the hearing of unions in companies with fewer than 10 employees, a necessary condition for the law of 20 August 2008 laying down the new criteria for union representativeness is not considered unconstitutional for excluding more than 4 million workers in any election. </p>
<p> &#39;We relied on the letter of the UPA and four trade unions, it says the Ministry of Labour.A letter dated end of January, setting the broad outlines of a trade union representation in the territorial commissions after elections in the TPE. </p>
<p> This bill deals with &quot;three great subjects.&quot; First, it imposes in firms with fewer than 10 employees on a consultation list at the regional level every four years from late 2012. &quot;This consultation will be through the internet or by mail, confirm there in the entourage of Eric Woerth. And it will affect all employees of small, except those of Agriculture whose election results, chambers of agriculture will be taken into account.In other words, all employees of businesses with fewer than 10 people will vote on the union they feel able to represent them in the territorial commissions, not the names of candidates. </p>
<p> Deuzio, the establishment of joint regional chambers (and the designation of their representatives) is returned to negotiations or inter-branch branch. The mission of these committees? &quot;Monitoring and enforcement of collective agreements,&quot; says Bill. </p>
<p> Thirdly, the government postponed by two years the date of the next industrial tribunal elections to be held no later than at the end of 2015 and not 2013.&quot;There are many elections in early 2014 and we also want to allow time to analyze the recommendations of the Richard report,&quot; justifies a collaborator Eric Woerth. </p>
<p> &quot;This is not the priority&quot; </p>
<p> The Richard report, to be unveiled in the coming days, should offer new ways of &quot;designation&quot; of judges prud&#39;hommes. One of the tracks would be considered to remove the election to go through an appointment of counsel based on the weight of each union at national level.Delaying the election of two years and has the advantage of allowing adequate time for governments to measure the weight of each plant under the new criteria of representativeness (will not be representative as the plants that, nationally, have a hearing than 8%). </p>
<p> No doubt this bill will meet the four trade unions signed the letter of intent in December with UPA: CFDT, CGT, CFE-CGC and CFTC. And will be fought by the MEDEF and CGPME rating as &quot;excellent&quot; social dialogue in the current SOHO and do not see the usefulness of measuring the audience of trade unions in the TPE. </p>
<p> &quot;This is not the priority,&quot; has consistently indicated Laurence Parisot, the president of MEDEF, for several months.Leaves also ignored their signature in April 2008 when, in a common position on trade union representation endorsed with the CFDT and CGT, they referred the audience measurement in the TPE for future negotiations and the MEDEF the GGPME refused to open in December. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which was Friday questioned the investment bank Goldman Sachs in a fraud case, is interested in other institutions that might have misled their investors about the nature of certain loans, according The Wall Street Journal. Several banks have had the same path as Goldman Sachs, creating financial products that allow for strategic customers such as hedge funds bet on the collapse of property prices at the same time where others were betting on further increases.The Deutsche Bank, UBS, Merrill Lynch or today came under the leadership of Bank of America, and could also interest Constable of U.S. financial markets, according to information from the Wall Street Journal. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> After four consecutive sessions in the green and a gain of 0.7% for the Dow Jones, Wall Street starts this week in doubt. At the close, the Dow Jones gained 0.16% to 10,641.92 points, the S &amp; P 500 grapille 0.04% to 1150.50 points.l In contrast, the Nasdaq lost 0.23% to 2362.21 points. </p>
<p> The NYSE is cautious on the eve of the monetary policy meeting of the Fed. The Fed should keep its no surprise key interest rate near zero and reiterate its commitment to maintain a low level for a &quot;prolonged period&quot;. More than the rate decision widely expected, investors will scrutinize the speeches of leaders of the U.S. central bank.They watch for a possible change in tone or vocabulary that could be the harbinger of early recovery in interbank rates, especially after raising the discount rate last month. </p>
<p> In this atmosphere, the figures for industrial production go unnoticed. However, the latter rose in February by 0.1% from the previous month, while analysts believed it had stagnated. </p>
<p> The surplus balance of U.S. capital flows to long-term investments declined in January to $ 19.1 billion against $ 63.3 billion the previous month, according to data published Monday by the Treasury Department . </p>
<p> Greece returns to the heart of concerns </p>
<p> In addition to this national event, the U.S. financial markets keep an eye on the statements that filter the meeting of European finance ministers on Greece.On Monday and Tuesday until tomorrow, they must define the details of plan using Greek estimated at over 20 billion euros. </p>
<p> But the markets seem to regret the lack of clear announcements about it. This anxiety is the euro down. The European currency loose 0.75% to 1.3669 dollar. In turn, the rise of the dollar penalizes values to raw materials.The oil companies Chevron (-0.73% to 73.16 dollars) and ExxonMobil (-1.14% to 66.04 dollars) were penalized by the decline in oil prices <a href="http://payday-badcredit.com">payday loans for bad credit</a> <!-- . -->. </p>
<p> The maker of construction equipment Caterpillar gave up 2.12% to 59.08 dollars and aluminum producer Alcoa 1.10% to 13.45 dollars. </p>
<p> Wal-Mart stands </p>
<p> Amylin Pharmaceuticals climbed 15.25% to 23.35 dollars, boosted by the announcement that the FDA does not need more data on its anti-diabetes drug.Boston Scientific has screwed him for 13.24%, after stating that he was stopping the sale of a defibrillator. </p>
<p> The energy sector was also facilitated by the acquisition of sites for exploration and production of shale gas from Dominion Resources (0.28% to 39.58 dollars) in the Appalachians, to 3.475 billion dollars in cash by Consol Energy (-9.96% to 48.62 dollars). </p>
<p> Wal-Mart was distinguished with an increase of 2.76 to 55.39 dollars, supported by higher recommendation to &quot;buy&quot; by analysts at Citigroup. </p>
<p> The title of the parent company of Calvin Klein, the Philips-Van Heusen, jumped 10.08% to 52.56 dollars. The group will buy the brand of leisure wear Tommy Hilfiger in UK investment funds Apax Partners. </p>
<p> Google (-3.42% to 559.74 dollars after opening under $ 565) could close its search engine or a part of its activities in China.Google Chinese news should be limited to official newspapers. 36% of Google revenues in China are related to its search service. &quot;Baidu, its main competitor, would be the main beneficiary of the partial withdrawal, analysts said Aurel BGC. </p>
<p> The Pentagon has dismissed the accusations of protectionism could give time for EADS to prepare a rival bid by the Boeing (-1.07% to 69.08 U.S. dollars) contract for refueling tankers. </p>
<p> The results of FedEx for the third quarter are expected Thursday. The numbers of specialist courier services is considered a leading barometer of business activity. Titles rise of 1.09%, to 87.12 dollars. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Against &quot;unfair and ineffective sacrifices, Greek officials Wednesday manifested in big cities. A 24-hour strike was launched by the Union Public Service ADEDY, with more than 300,000 members. Employees of public protest against wage cuts announced by the Socialist government to reduce deficits and thus reassure the markets. </p>
<p> Tuesday, Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou reiterated wage austerity measures provided for in the Public Service wage freeze, down 10% premium, 30% decrease in overtime, stoppage of recruitment in 2010, except in the sectors of health, education and security. Labor Minister, Andreas Loverdos, proposed back two years to 2015 the average age of retirement to raise it to 63 years.</p>

At this stage, there is &quot;not agree&quot; on a plan of aid to Greece. The signs, however, a support mechanism for this country is growing. A senior parliamentary Conservative German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Michael Meister, has indicated that preparations were underway in the German Government for an assistance plan.It could take the form of housing provision of bilateral loans to certain countries of the euro area in favor of Greece, to help cope with higher prices for its cost of borrowing on the markets since the beginning of the crisis.
