As announced Le Figaro on December 26, the state plans to address these benefits to the company over ten years to help get the pill from the public opinion.
They had until Wednesday night to get along. The state and the private company Ecomouv ‘, initially responsible for collecting environmental tax that was eventually abandoned by the government have reached agreement on 839 million euros in compensation for breach of contract, said a union source. “The state has planned to settle this over 10 years: the first settlement 580-590 million euros by the end of February 2015, then 30 million euros a year over 10 years,” said the CGT of Ecomouv Olivier Kamiri.
Questioned by AFP, a government source said on his part that the state would pay 403 million euros of the company to benefit Ecomouv ‘and that this amount add forty million per year for ten years, which correspond to bank debt taken over by the state. However, the Government nuance that cost, highlighting the 210 million euros a year would have touched Ecomouv ‘for the next ten years, a total of about two billion euros, taken from the environmental tax revenue.
As noted from Le Figaro last week, the government had not found the scheme to reduce its rating, but to make it more acceptable to the public. A very profitable arrangement for the Minister of Ecology Segolene Royal, since it will be able to say that this break does not cost him 839 million provided but less than 600 million … without insisting on the 30 million to pay for the next nine years.
The enclosures installed in trucks will be taken over by Ecomouv ‘, while the gantries installed on French roads belong to the state, who is studying a possible reallocation of this material. However “Ecomouv ‘always has the option to go to litigation” against the state in the future, because the 839 million euros are “a part of compensation” facing the shortfall on the exploitation of environmental levy set in the original contract Ecomouv, which was “2.5 billion euros” in total, warned Olivier Kamiri.
The private company announced on December 9, the cessation of its activity and the dismissal of its 200 employees following the decision of the State on October 30, to terminate his contract with the company. Some 150 employees Ecomouv ‘are based in Metz, where the company had installed its operational center. Through this agreement, “Ecomouv ‘will be a little less bloodless” financially, as the company should “provision more money for social, so we hope that the PSE will be correct,” said Olivier Kamiri Wednesday. But the state does not have the intention to go beyond legal obligations, he laments, stating he had “no new state”, while the end of November while traveling in Lorraine, François Hollande had received unions Ecomouv ‘Metz and promised their support, including a warranty of one year’s salary.
