EFES PRESS REVIEW - FEBRUARY 2012


Our selection / Notre sélection / Nuestra selección

  A selection of 38 remarkable articles in 7 countries in February 2012: France, India, Italy,   South Africa, Spain, UK, USA.
France: Air France-KLM going to relaunch its employee share ownership – It's the right moment when share prices are so low – Maybe going to 20% of the companys' shares. Final decision for the rescuing plan as a workers cooperative for Helio-Corbeil. Syndex will be a new workers coop. New employee share plans for Spie and for Axa.
India: Sustainability of employee buyouts of companies in the plantation sector cannot be taken for granted.
Italy: Many questions about employee share ownership in Italy: Why is this country so belated in this field? New share plan for Italian employees in French Group Auchan.
South Africa: Around the world there are many versions of employee ownership. However, the models that really drive enhanced business performance are those that engage employees as real owners.
Spain: Employee-owned "sociedades laborales" in the Basque Country in 2011.
UK: British Government appoints adviser on employee ownership, to investigate how to increase the number of employee-owned businesses. Questions about Loch Fyne Oysters, this employee-owned company being sold to Scottish Seafood Investments. Staff at the firm voted unanimously in favour of the deal. The move marks the end of nine years of employee ownership at Loch Fyne, which was considered as an employee ownership champion in the UK.
USA: New legislation in Iowa: The Iowa Economic Development Authority wants the state to offer incentives to Iowa owners for selling part or all of a company to an ESOP, or employee stock ownership plan. Strange contrast: President Obama's corporate tax reform proposal would be particularly harmful to S ESOPs which Congress authorized in 1998.

   Une sélection de 38 articles remarquables dans 7 pays en février 2012: Afrique du Sud, Espagne, France, Inde, Italie, Royaume Uni, USA.
Afrique du Sud: Il y a quantité de versions de l'actionnariat salarié à travers le monde. Cependant, les formules qui contribuent réellement à améliorer les résultats sont ceux qui impliquent les salariés comme propriétaires à part entière.
Espagne: Difficile année 2011 pour les "sociedades laborales" au Pays Basque.
France: Air France-KLM se prépare à relancer son actionnariat salarié, – "avoir une action avec un cours très peu élevé a tous les inconvénients de la terre sauf un, celui de pouvoir distribuer des actions aux salariés, qui leur donnent une perspective d'augmentation future", – objectif 20% pour la part des salariés. Décision finale positive pour le plan de sauvetage d'Hélio-Corbeil sous forme de coopérative de salariés. Syndex va devenir une des plus grandes coopératives de salariés en France. Nouveaux plans d'actionnariat salarié pour Spie et pour Axa.
Inde: La viabilité des plantations de thé reprises en coopératives de salariés est loin d'être acquise.
Italie: Beaucoup de questions sur l'actionnariat salarié en Italie: Pourquoi un si grand retard? Avec l'Espagne, le Portugal, la Grèce, l'Italie est au dernier rang de la classe européenne, loin derrière les pays du Nord. Nouveau plan d'actionnariat pour les salariés italiens du Groupe Auchan.
Royaume Uni: Le Gouvernement nomme un Conseiller à l'Actionnariat Salarié. Première mission: identifier les moyens permettant d'augmenter le nombre d'entreprises d'actionnariat salarié. Questions à propos de Loch Fyne Oysters, à la suite de la vente de cette entreprise d'actionnariat salarié au fonds d'investissement Scottish Seafood Investments. Les salariés de l'entreprise ont voté unanimement pour la vente. C'est la fin de 9 années d'actionnariat salarié chez Loch Fyne, qui était considéré comme un champion de l'actionnariat salarié en Grande Bretagne.
USA: Nouvelle législation en Iowa: de nouveaux incitants encourageront les propriétaires à céder leur entreprise aux salariés via un plan d'actionnariat salarié ESOP. Bizarre contraste: le projet de réforme fiscal du Président Obama s'annonce particulièrement nocif pour les plans ESOPs de type S, autorisés par le Congrès depuis 1998.

 Wir haben eine Auswahl von 38 bemerkenswerten Artikel aus 7 Ländern für den Februar 2012 getroffen: Frankreich, Indien, Italien, Südafrika, Spanien, Großbritannien, USA.
Frankreich: Air France-KLM werden ihre Kapitalbeteiligung wieder aufleben lassen - Es ist der richtige Moment, da die Aktienkurse niedrig notieren - vielleicht auch zur Abgabe von 20% eigener Aktien. Endgültige Entscheidung für den Rettungsplan einer Mitarbeitergenossenschaft für Helio-Corbeil. Syndex wird eine Mitarbeiterkooperative. Neue Aktienpläne für Mitarbeiter von Spie und Axa.
Indien: Die Nachhaltigkeit von Mitarbeiter-Buyouts von landwirtschaftlichen Unternehmen kann nicht für selbstverständlich gehalten werden.
Italien: Viele Fragen rund um Belegschaftsaktien in Italien: Warum ist das Land so spät in diesem Bereich? Neuer Aktienplan für italienische Arbeitnehmer in der französischen Auchan Gruppe.
Südafrika: Auf der ganzen Welt gibt es viele Versionen von Mitarbeiterbeteiligung. Allerdings sind die Modelle, die wirklich eine verbesserte Geschäftsentwicklung hervorrufen diejenigen, die Mitarbeiter als echte Eigentümer einbeziehen.
Spanien: Mitarbeiter üben ihren Besitz im Baskenland über die "sociedades laborales" im Jahr 2011 aus.
Großbritannien: Die Britische Regierung ernennt Berater für Mitarbeiterbeteiligung. Sie sollen untersuchen, wie die Anzahl der in Mitarbeiterbesitz befindlichen Unternehmen steigt. Fragen über Loch Fyne Austern, ob das in Mitarbeiterhand befindliche Unternehmen, mit Investments in schottische Meeresfrüchte handelt. Die Mitarbeiter des Unternehmens stimmten einstimmig für den Geschäftsabschluss. Der Umzug markiert das Ende von neun Jahren Mitarbeiterbeteiligung am Loch Fyne, was als herausragendes Beispiel der Mitarbeiterbeteiligung in Großbritannien angesehen wurde.
USA: Neues Gesetz in Iowa: Die Behörde für wirtschaftliche Entwicklung in Iowa will staatliche Unterstützungen an Eigentümer für den Verkauf von Unternehmensteilen oder Gesamtunternehmen an die Mitarbeiter über ESOP oder einen Aktienplan gewähren. Seltsamer Kontrast: Präsident Obamas Vorschlag zur Unternehmenssteuerreform wäre besonders schädlich für die S ESOPs basierend auf dem Beschluss des Kongresses im Jahr 1998.

  La nostra selezione comprende 38 articoli in 7 Stati nel febbraio 2012: Francia, India, Italia, Sudafrica, Spagna, UK, USA.
Francia: Air France-KLM rilancia il piano di azionariato – è il momento giusto, con i prezzi ai minimi – forse fino al 20% del capital. Decisione finale per il piano di rilancio di Helio-Corbeil come cooperativa. Syndex sarà una nuova cooperative. Nuovi piani per Spie ed AXA.
India: La sostenibilità della’acquisizione da parte dei dipendenti di società nel settore delle piantagioni di tè  non è scontata.
Italia: Molte domande sull’azionariato dei dipendenti in Italia: perché questo Stato è così in ritardo in questo campo? Nuovi piani di azionariato in una società del gruppo francese Auchan.
Sudafrica: Nel mondo ci sono molte version di azionariato dei dipendenti. Peraltro i modelli che realmente conducono a migliori prestazioni sono quelli che vedono i dipendenti come proprietari effettivi.
Spagna: Le "sociedades laborales" nei Paesi Baschi nel 2011.
UK: Il Governo promuove una ricerca sull’azionariato dei dipendenti per verifiare come aumentare il numero delle attività di proprietà dei dependenti. Domande su Loch Fyne Oysters, società posseduta dai dipendenti acquisita da Scottish Seafood Investments. Il personale ha votato all’unanimità a favore. Questo affare segna la fine di 9 anni di proprietà dei dipendenti alla Loch Fyne, considerate un esempio in tutta la Gran Bretagna.
USA: Nuova legge nello Iowa: La Iowa Economic Development Authority vuole che lo Stato offra incentive agli imprenditori locali per la vendita di tutto o parte del capital a un  ESOP, (employee stock ownership plan). Strano contrasto: la proposta di riforma Obama della fiscalità societaria sarebbe particolarmente dannosa per i piani ESOP di tipo S, autorizzati dal Congresso nel 1998.
