He reiterated that the "battle for jobs" was his "only priority" and insisted that his policies were working. "The results inevitably take a long time to appear, but they are here, and I have confidence in the choices I've made for the country," he said. He offered companies a "responsibility pact", which he defined as the possibility of "lower labour charges and fewer restrictions on their activity in return for hiring more workers and more dialogue with trade unions". But he gave no details about which restrictions might be lifted or how he would reduce the high social security charges and payroll taxes that leave French companies with some of the lowest profit margins in Europe. His proposal came days after France's highest court approved his controversial 75 per cent "supertax" to be paid by companies on annual salaries exceeding €1 million,cheap air jordans,http://users.atw.hu/bagitc96/index.php?site=forum_topic&topic=12517cheapjordanshoesfreeshipping.com/bolg. Philippe Gattaz, the head of the employers' federation Medef, said industrialists were "ready to play an active role" but added: "It is urgent to make rapid progress." Others were more sceptical. Jean-Fran?ois Rabaud of the federation of small- and medium-sized companies said: "Unless there is a concrete commitment to lower taxes, it leaves us wondering exactly what is being offered." Mr Hollande's proposal immediately came under attack from the left wing of his Socialist Party. Marie-No?lle Lienemann, a Socialist senator,http://users.atw.hu/miwa-cod4/index.php?site=forum_topic&topic=14982cheapjordanshoesfreeshipping.com/bolg,cheap jordans, said: "This is not the time to offer companies incentives when ordinary people are struggling. It has to be balanced with measures to help them." She complained that households would be hard hit by an increase in the standard rate of VAT from 19.6 per cent to 20 per cent yesterday, with an intermediate rate increased from seven to 10 per cent. Leftist commentators criticised the president for moving too far towards the centre. The left-wing newspaper Libération said: "Fran?ois Hollande is positioning himself, perhaps for the first time in France,Kicksokok.com, in line with the Social Democrats." Mr Hollande also reiterated earlier promises to trim public spending. "We must spend less to reduce our deficit and over time reduce taxes," he said, without giving further details. Jean-Fran?ois Copé, head of the centre-right UMP party of the former president, Nicolas Sarkozy, said: "Fran?ois Hollande repeated the same unfulfilled commitments he made a year ago in almost the same terms." Bernard Accoyer,http://users.atw.hu/cngesportproba/index.php?site=forum_topic&topic=17042cheapjordanshoesfreeshipping.com/bolg, a centre-right MP,cheap jordans online, said his message was "a litany of his failures in 19 months as president" and added: "He admitted that he underestimated the crisis, raised taxes and charges on companies too high and failed to make the necessary cuts in public spending." |
