French government tax evaders

said "We have a list of three thousand names"

Budget Minister Eric Woerth in the newspaper Journal du Dimanche ", he possessed a List of names of 3,000 French owners of bank accounts in Swiss banks. He threatens them with controls and punitive taxes.

The French tax evaders who hide their millions in Swiss banks are supposed to register with the tax authorities themselves penitent before the end of December it was too late. This is the somewhat naively sounding Sunday message from Budget Minister Woerth, who wants to dry out on the side of the German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck and the Mexican OECD Secretary General Angel Gurria by a comprehensive international transparency and disclosure duty "tax havens" in the world. Of course, the tax inspector, advanced to the top ministers in this hunt in the his own country-based fraudsters and evaders soon be able to show respectable trophies, if he wants to remain credible. That countries that were like Switzerland placed this year on the initiative of the aforementioned trio of the G20 countries to a "gray list" and forced to sign new double taxation agreements that further exchanges of information (for valid reasons for suspicion of tax fraud ) does not, however, Woerth. He wants to let the contracts into action and waving so secretive with this list.

ZWTL: only a bluff?
He reveals only that he is the identity of 3000 in France taxable owners know from accounts in three banks with a total value estimated at three billion euros. "It's the first time that we have such precise information with names, account numbers and amounts of deposits." As he came into possession of this list reveals Woerth, he says only he had that - unlike Germany in the case of accounts in the principality of Liechtenstein - pays nothing, but they have collected through research and with banking institutions. But it is still not known whether this is really about undeclared accounts is falling under the suspicion of tax fraud. Woerth is also not identify which three Swiss banks would be implied.

This evasive answers cause, according to the Journal du Dimanche "diverse Accountants in France to believe that it was the impending advance if possible just a bluff. For Woerth so will those who have to feel concerned, a helping hand. They should display before the end of the Authority itself and report undeclared accounts in Switzerland and other tax-favorable financial markets quickly. At a discount or even an amnesty, they can not hope it. Any indulgence Woerth holds in this case is immoral, "we refuse to think about even a tax amnesty." This is probably the reason why these intelligence unit at the Paris Ministry of Finance had so little response. According Woerth

have their own admission volunteered since April only 200 Penitent, twenty cases have been done since then and passed half a million euros to the tax authorities, eighty are still being processed. This is a flop, and enough reason to impress the public with a headlong rush. "In the coming days, we have a meeting with the (French) banks, they must tell us the names of people who have managed their assets abroad." Philippe Durand from the law firm Landwell advises his clients to get to now not like in a panic. Who is to denounce themselves for fear of risking sanctions, "the finger to put in the Wolf Cave. The Switzerland, he said could only look forward, as the wealthy French people now really have reason to move their tax domicile is definitely in the Confederation.

Box:
foreign bank accounts by French citizens are tax reportable and must always be specified together with any income when filling out the income tax return. Since this has been done so far only rarely and misused for tax evasion, the government has established a financial intelligence unit, the retroactively, taxpayers their accounts to 31 Report to December, so that after they pay the taxes and penalty not have to risk prosecution. Budget Minister Eric Woerth speaks of around 50 billion euros, missing the French treasury through tax fraud and unpaid tax and social security contributions. At the relevant list of three thousand names were the Federal Department of Finance (FDF) on request from the AP no opinion. President Hans-Rudolf Merz and the French Minister Christine Lagarde on Thursday signed a revised Double Taxation Agreement (DTA). But this is not yet in force. Which is under attack bank secrecy provides yet that banks must disclose in Switzerland have no customer-related banking information. Countries must advance a reasoned Amtshilfegesuch an die Schweiz stellen.

threatened And you're not willing, then use force I

Die 366 Arbeiter von New Fabris im südwestfranzösischen Chatellerault hatten damit gedroht, ihre Fabrik in die Luft zu jagen, falls ihnen die beiden wichtigsten Kunden, Peugeot und Renault, wegen der Schliessung des Betriebs nicht eine Abgangsentschädigung von 30'000 Euro pro Kopf bezahlen. Mit ihrem Ultimatum haben sie die Aufmerksamkeit des ganzen Landes sowie das Interesse der Medien und nicht zuletzt auch der Regierung geweckt. Wie schon in anderen sehr harten Konflikten beweist der Ausgang der Auseinandersetzung bei New Fabris, dass sich in Frankreich der Griff zu radikalen Mitteln oft lohnt.


Nach harten Verhandlungen hat sich der Staat bereit erklärt, each of the 366 dismissed workers of New Fabris also grant the legal benefits of a premium of 12,000 € net. In return, they had to renounce all violence and property damage. The New Fabri-workers have had success with its threat of force. However, the employees are bitter because they lose their jobs and have little hope to find time soon to work again.

This conflict is emblematic of the hardening of the social climate. More and more workers access to very radical and even violent means. This began in the spring at Sony and then in other companies with a wave of Boss-napping: the neologism means that staff summarily locked up the boss or manager in order to force negotiations. As the threat of the company to break into the air in New Fabris and two other units, these forms of social coercion and extortion led in most cases the goal.

The French public has for these drastic methods are very much understanding. Many French people can put themselves in the camp of crisis victims. The powers are so limited that the public regarded as a direct confrontation right to self-defense. The workers are organized in France much less unionized than in neighboring countries, they feel far given starting on their own. You will see an extreme and spectacular methods of self defense the only way to make the public via the media attention.

In France there is a long tradition of violence in social conflicts, which could be up to the revolution of 1789 and attributed to a long series of revolts. Each discussion begins in France with a force calibration sample that is very often played by hand, the dialogue and the search always follows an agreement then. So it shocked no one when angry farmers and fishermen blocked roads and ports, all the empty truck loads of cheap imports and lay incurred by supermarkets, most of them come dann der Staat entgegen.

Für die von der Rezession betroffenen Arbeiter ist es nur logisch, zu ähnlich drastischen Mitteln zu greifen. Geradezu ermutigt dazu werden sie auch durch die Tatsache, dass sie kaum mit einer Strafverfolgung wegen Freiheitsberaubung, Nötigung oder Sachbeschädigung rechnen müssen. In den seltensten Fällen ist es bisher zu einem gerichtkichnen Nachspiel gekommmen. Es wäre darum nicht überraschend, wenn nach der Sommerpause andere Betriebskämpfe dem Beispiel von New Fabris folgen würden.
