			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> A fuel dispenser which encourages the purchase of more fuel-efficient car, the concept may seem surprising. Yet this is apparently preparing to make a total grant program to purchase eco-friendly car. </p>
<p> According to an article website Challenges.fr the operation should begin in the fall and cover the fleet managers of companies that are committed to improving environmental performance of their fleet. In 2011, the principle would be extended to individuals who receive assistance from the French oil when buying a car with low CO2 emissions. </p>
<p> Total Offer seems motivated by Article 27 of Act II Grenelle, voted last July and will enter into force on 1 January. This regulation requires distributors of fuel previously spared by the Grenelle I, to encourage energy conservation among consumers <a href="http://payday-4all.com">no fax payday advances</a>.According Challenges.fr, they may have to pay 1.8 billion euros over three years if they do not meet this new provision. A grant program launched by the company could thus enable it to comply with the regulations and to recover the famous energy saving certificates (EEC) </p>
<p> At Total, we said that projects for corporate fleets or rental of vehicles have been submitted to the authorities but that no decision should be taken before the end of the year. As for how the grant or extension to individuals, they are &quot;not yet accomplished.&quot; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The bank fraud rebounding. The fraud rate for all types of payment cards has reached 0.072% in 2009, amounting to 342.4 million euros, according to the annual report of the Observatory for Payment Card Security released Tuesday. In 2008, the rate was 0.069%, corresponding to an amount of 320.2 million euros. The fraud has overtaken its 2004 level (0.070%), after having stabilized between 2005 (0.064%) and 2007 (0.062%). </p>
<p> This increase masks &quot;divergent trends,&quot; says the report by the Centre, presented by Christian Noyer, governor of the Bank of France. On the one hand, fraud on national payments made to retail outlets and automata remains on a downward slope. It reached a low in 2009, ie a rate of 0.014% for a $ 41 million.</p>
<p> Conversely, fraud is still gaining ground on front of remote payments (internet, telephone or mail). For domestic payments, the amount of fraudulent transactions has risen from 67.2 million euros in 2008 to 82.2 million euros in 2009. An increase that does not include payments made from abroad. If the amount of fraud registered for French maps in international traders remained high (60.5 million euros) last year, he registered a slight decline. </p>
<p> At a time when networks compete in international fraud imagination, the Observatory for Payment Card Security said in its report that &quot;the majority of the holders consider the card as a secure means of payment.The organization, which advocates the establishment of strong authentication solutions to verify, whenever possible and appropriate, the payment is made by the legitimate holder of the card, &quot;has conducted a qualitatlive investigation to determine the acceptance of such devices by consumers. </p>
<p> Online payments still inspire confidence </p>
<p> And the verdict of the study is final, according to the Observatory. While &quot;significant concerns remain regarding online payments, particularly on foreign sites, users of payment cards of all types&quot; show a clear preference for strong authentication solutions. &quot; These include for example the use of a single use code obtained by various means (card reader, sending an SMS from the bank, etc.). </p>
<p> These findings appear to be timely.The construction of strong authentication is indeed well advanced. &quot;The implementation by banks of these solutions with their carriers is now being phased in accordance with the recommendations of the Bank of France,&quot; says Monitor&#39;s report. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Often criticized by customers, the outsourcing of call centers to foreign countries is becoming a government priority. According to Le Parisien on Sunday, the record has been taken over by the Secretary of State for Employment Laurent Wauquiez. The latter is studying a plan of action to fight against the leakage of these jobs outside French territory. </p>
<p> To emphasize the installation of these centers in France, the Secretary of State may well introduce a surcharge &quot;of calls from sites located abroad.Conversely, companies deciding to keep their call centers in France would receive the &quot;nudges&quot; as aid in recruitment, training, installation in rural areas or relief from social security contributions, believes Learn daily. </p>
<p> More transparency </p>
<p> Laurent Wauquiez would generally aim to &quot;make practices more transparent&quot; left to prepare &quot;a list of poor performers. The fight against the relocation, however, looks very difficult. According to latest estimates, dating to 2008, the Union of professional contact center (SP2C), an employee of a call center Morocco is for example paid between 400 and 450 euros a month against a minimum of 1320 euro gross France (including bonuses and thirteenth month).The battle is also likely to face the refusal of the Commission in Brussels which could object to these tax measures. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> In 2008, Apple became the first distributor of music in the United States, before the giant Wal-Mart and Amazon. The group of Cupertino is preparing to renew the feat in the film industry. According to research firm Screen Digest, Apple became the number one video on demand pay to the United States in 2014, before the two top cable operators in the country, Comcast and Time Warner Cable. </p>
<p> This will be overtaken by Apple at the end of this year. Apple is expected to generate $ 281 million in sales by selling movies online this year against 160 million in revenue for the VOD service from Time Warner Cable. The firm is expected to apple store almost 35 million transactions in 2010 against 30.5 million for the second U.S. cable operator. Still Number One, Comcast will make a turnover of 380 million dollars with 88 million transactions.&quot;While the pay-TV players offer to lease the works in DOS, Apple sells movies. The pricing is more beneficial to Apple, &quot;said Dan Cryan, responsible Broadband Media at Screen Digest. </p>
<p> In 2014, the reverse hierarchy: Apple should be leading with 470 million dollars in revenue for 56 million transactions, when Comcast will reach 400 million dollars in sales with 108 million records of tenancy, says Screen Digest. At that time, Apple will control 32% of video market demand pay. </p>
<p> Google TV has a playing card </p>
<p> This leadership position gives Apple the opportunity to influence the price of selling movies for download, as the U.S. group has done in music.Another advantage is the unit sales reported more income to the beneficiaries that the subscription models or lease and therefore the iTunes Store a valuable partner for the studios, which multiply the simultaneous releases in theaters and on video. </p>
<p> If the model for the iTunes Store gives a good lead time to Apple in VOD, it is not certain that the firm with apple foreclosing the movie as it did for digital music. &quot;There was an effect on iPod music because of the integration platform for downloading with the terminal was better, because the iPod allowed to make music where consumers want to have it ie mobility. It is not certain that the iPad plays that role for the film, Dan Cryan analysis. Terminals other than the PC are key to getting consumers to pay for entertainment.But for video, this advantage is less pronounced for the iPad for a TV. This is Google, with its Google TV decoder, which brings Web video into television, has a playing card. &quot;Indeed, the Internet group has not discussed a possible blocking of illegal content which could online access through Google TV. This vagueness could benefit from piracy: &quot;iTunes is selling on average 30 songs per iPod sold, the rest of the music is not purchased it is copied from CD or downloaded illegally. There could have the same effect on Google TV. The party has just begun in the video, &quot;said Dan Cryan. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Attracted by the extraordinary growth of China, European companies are worried that Chinese law is hardened against them after the 2010 survey of business confidence (Business Confidence Study) published on Tuesday by the Chamber of EU in China. </p>
<p> 80% of firms surveyed are optimistic about the growth of their sector in China. The country, which registered a growth of 11.9% in the first quarter of the year, &quot;has become an even more important to their overall business strategy,&quot; reports the study. </p>
<p> But the good economic health is not enough to reassure European investors worried about the Chinese regulations.40% of respondents fear and regulations discriminate against foreign firms worsen in the next two years <a href="http://payday-loans-nofax.com">no fax pay day loan</a><!-- . -->.Only 10% of survey participants say they are rather optimistic on the subject. </p>
<p> Specifically, the Europeans are worried &quot;a discretionary application of laws and regulations, while the registration process, issues of intellectual property rights and inconsistencies in the local application of national criteria continue to be subjects of frustration &quot;. </p>
<p> The study, European companies operating in China have a clear message to convey: their continued involvement in China as an investment is not unconditional and would be improved by a more clear and more predictable. &quot; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The case Goldman Sachs has taken the weekend of 24 and 25 April, a new political era with the publication by the U.S. Senate emails embarrassing for the bank, accused of having enriched in 2007 by betting on reduction of financial products that the bank had itself sometimes sold to its customers. </p>
<p> Larry Summers, the Obama economic adviser, declined Sunday to comment on the case Goldman Sachs, except to state: &quot;This highlights what is at the heart of the president&#39;s vision (in the reform of finance) : the importance of transparency. &quot; </p>
<p> Shocked that unpacking before the opening of public hearings Monday in Congress, Goldman Sachs categorically denies having violated the law.It maintains its role as an intermediary to serve institutional clients with differing views on the trend of the real estate market forced her to speculate for a fall on some securities to cover its risks also taken on other positions. </p>
<p> If they prove nothing of fraudulent e-mails made public Saturday by the Senate show that the bank on Wall Street reveled during the crisis, earn so much money, thanks to its derivatives betting on the fall of subprime housing market, while its own customers &#8211; including European banks &#8211; in poorer inverse operations.</p>
<p> &quot;We will make a big pile of money!&quot; </p>
<p> In July 2007, David Viniar, chief financial officer of Goldman Sachs, learning that the bank had already won $ 51 million by betting on falling subprime reacted in an email: &quot;It gives an idea of what might happen to those who not a big short position in <a href="http://pay-day-loans-i.com">low fee pay day loans</a><!-- . -->. &quot; </p>
<p> In October 2007, while the housing market plunge, a trader from the bank sent an email to his colleague: &quot;It seems we will make a big pile of money!&quot; The answer: &quot;Yes, we are well positioned &#8230; In 2007, the bank led by Lloyd Blankfein has achieved record profits of 11.6 billion dollars that enabled him to pocket a bonus record of $ 67.9 million.During the same period, rival banks, including Morgan Stanley, suffered massive devaluation of their assets. </p>
<p> On Monday, Lloyd Blankfein and six of his colleagues were summoned to explain himself before the Senate subcommittee charged with investigating the financial crisis. Among them, Fabrice Tourre, a French 31 years, accused of fraud by the SEC, the gendarme of the U.S. financial markets. There is theoretically no link between the two surveys. But they are on the same subject: conflicts of interest of Goldman Sachs derivatives markets of mortgages.An email signed by Fabrice Tourre in 2007 shows his pessimism about the products he elaborated: &quot;This market is completely dead and the poor little subprime borrowers will not be long.&quot; Fabrice Tourre will even be compared to Frankenstein for creating products that will turn against their owners, by precipitating the collapse of the U.S. housing bubble and the global financial crisis. </p>
