EFES PRESS REVIEW - OCTOBER 2014


Our selection / Notre sélection / Nuestra selección

  We have a selection of 32 remarkable articles in 9 countries in October 2014: Australia, Denmark, France, India, Italy, Poland, South Africa, UK, USA.
Australia: “We are reversing the changes that the former government made in 2009 which essentially stopped employee ownership in this country,” Prime Minister Abbott said. New legislation will replicate key aspects of the British regime that seeks to encourage stock options in small companies and start-ups.
Denmark: Legislative amendments due to be presented to parliament this month will allow employees to become partial owners of the enterprise.
France: Recent Government's order going to demolish employee share ownership in France.
India: New ESOP regulation.
Italy: Minister Pier Paolo Baretta declares it is time for employee share ownership in Italy.
Poland: Tax legislation in Poland doesn't encourage employee share ownership.
South Africa: Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Employee Share-Ownership Schemes (BBBEE) are hugely important concerns.
UK: New legal and tax environment encourages employee share ownership. Tax exemptions introduced in the UK Finance Act 2014 are encouraging employee ownership trust ("EOT") buy-outs and this successful UK business model could attract momentum internationally. The economy needs more employee-owned businesses because employee owners think and act for the long term.
USA: Recognizing ESOPs as good public policy: the tax status of ESOPs has to be preserved. Only 8% of business owners are thinking of selling to their employees, as in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP.

   Une sélection de 32 articles remarquables dans 9 pays en octobre 2014: Afrique du Sud, Australie, Danemark,  France, Grande Bretagne, Inde, Italie, Pologne, USA.
Afrique du Sud: L'actionnariat salarié pour "noircir" le pouvoir économique (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Employee Share-Ownership - BBBEE).
Australia: Marche arrière toute. "Nous effaçons les décisions prises par le précédent gouvernement en 2009, qui ont pratiquement mis fin à l'actionnariat salarié dans ce pays" déclare le Premier Ministre Abbott. Le Gouvernement australien adopte de nouvelles règles pour l'actionnariat salarié sur le modèle du régime britannique qui encourage les stock options dans les PME et les nouvelles entreprises.
Danemark: Amendements législatifs au Parlement pour réinstaller un régime d'actionnariat salarié.
France: Ordonnance surprise du Gouvernement Hollande, une politique de démolition de l'actionnariat salarié en France.
Inde: Nouvelle réglementation pour les plans de stock options (ESOP).
Italie: Le Ministre Pier Paolo Baretta affirme qu'il est temps pour l'actionnariat salarié en Italie.
Pologne: La législation fiscale n'encourage pas l'actionnariat salarié en Pologne.
Grande Bretagne: Nouvel encadrement légal et fiscal pour encourager l'actionnariat salarié. Les exemptions fiscales introduites dans l'Acte de Finance 2014 encouragent la reprise d'entreprises par des trusts d 'actionnariat salarié ("EOT").
USA: Tous les partis politiques favorables à la poursuite de la politique d'actionnariat salarié ESOP.  8% seulement des propriétaires pensent aux salariés pour la cession de leur entreprise, comme cela se pratique dans les plans ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan).

La nostra selezione comprende 32 articoli in 9 Stati nel mese di Ottobre 2014: Australia, Danmarca, Francia, India, Polonia, Sudafrica, UK, USA.
Australia: « Stiamo invertendo i cambi che il precedente Governo ha introdotto nel 2009, che hanno di fatto arrestato l’azionariato dei dipendenti » ha dichiarato il Primo Ministro Abbott.  La nuova legislazione replicherà i punti chiave del sistema britannico, volto ad incentivare l’utilizzo generalizzato di opzioni di acquisto azionario nelle piccole imprese e nelle start-ups.
Danimarca: In Parlamento sono presenti proposte di modifica, in discussione per il prossimo mese, per consentire ai dipendenti di diventare comproprietari parziali dell’impresa.
Francia: Il recente decreto del Governo demolisce uno dei principi fondant dell’azionariato dei dipendenti in Francia.
India: Nuova regolamentazione per gli ESOP.
Italia: Il Sottosegretario al Tesoro Pier Paolo Baretta dichiara che è l’ora dell’azionariato dei dipendenti in Italia.
Polonia: La legislazione fiscale non aiuta l’azionariato dei dipendenti.
Sudafrica: i “Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Employee Share-Ownership Schemes” (BBBEE) sono molto importanti.
UK: Un nuovo quadro di riferimento legale e fiscale promuove l’azionariato dei dipendenti. Le esenzioni fiscali introdotte con il “UK Finance Act 2014” stanno promuovendo l’acquisto di aziende attraverso Trusts partecipati dai dipendenti (“employee ownership trust” - EOT) e questo modello di successo potrebbe fornire un asempio a livello internazionale. L’economia ha bisogno di un maggior numero di imprese partecipate, perché i dipendenti azionisti ragionano e si comportano con una visione di lungo termine.
USA: Gli ESOPs sono riconosciuti come una buona politica pubblica: occorre mantenere le agevolazioni fiscali attualmente in essere. Solo l’8% degli imprenditori individuali pensano di vendere ai dipendenti, attraverso un Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
