But it is limited to the first three months of the lease

Dominique de Villepin to open the Conference on employment and revenues this morning, with the aim of reducing the gap between "Honourable performance" French companies and the feeling of the employees "of not receiving fair return for their efforts." Concrete, focused measures on households, must be announced late in the afternoon to make the appointment "the one of credibility to the last moment", promised the Prime Minister yesterday. A way to regain control on subjects already invested by the presidential candidates, Nicolas Sarkozy and Ségolène Royal. In addition to an announcement the increase in the minimum wage, allowing branches to conduct wage negotiations ("Les Echos" of yesterday) informed the interim, the most emblematic measures relate to services to the person and housing, two Jean-Louis Borloo fetish topics.

A low-cost measure

The first is to extend to non-taxable households, which represent approximately 50 of households, the benefit of the tax aid on employment of workers at home. The Government proposes a credit tax, equal to half of total expenditures, within the limit of 12,000 euros per year, over 1,500 euro per dependant child. It will be reserved for bi-actifs households, to not add itself to social benefits (retreats etc.) The idea is not really new, because the Prime Minister had promised, on 9 December 2004, "a tax credit that benefits to all, that they are taxable or non-", on services to the person. But the project was abandoned two months later, under the pressure of Bercy, and fiscal aid had been reserved to the only taxable households, via tax exemptions (which represent EUR 1.9 billion in 2006).

The introduction of the tax credit, aimed a people less solvent, is a priori inexpensive: it should represent 100 to 150 million euros in the full year, according to Bercy. If successful, the invoice could climb up to 500 million per year, believes the Department of employment. The reform has the advantage of not weigh on the budget of the State by 2008, the tax credit be paid to the respect of the expenditure recorded in 2007. It requires an amendment to the amending finance law discussed from Monday in the National Assembly.

The second flagship measure aims to create a Fund of guarantee of the rental risks"(LRGS) as early as January 1, 2007, jointly funded by the State and the joint organization in charge of 1 housing.

On the duration of the lease

The fear of the unpaid on the part of owners hinders, indeed, important access to housing for the more modest households. "The agreement with the State was in the process of completion." "The Prime Minister made that endorse long months of negotiations", explains Bertrand Goujon, the Director-General of the Federation of 1 housing agencies. To meet this difficulty, it has already implemented Locapass, which provides a guarantee covering the rent unpaid. But it is limited to the first three months of the lease. It is, in addition, employees, unemployed young people under 30 and stock students, with a budget of EUR 70 million per year. The GRL will cover it, the duration of the lease and all low income (including officials and non-beneficiaries of the Locapass, liberal professions). The State will be in support of the 1 housing on this additional population.

The Government is more hesitant in employment: access of youth to the labour market, the question of internships and precarious jobs, is left in the hands of the social partners, invited to open a negotiation. As part-time suffered, for almost 30 of women part-time, he will be treated under the single angle of the formation, via an exemption from the cost of validation of experience acquired.
