Jobs Act, the debut is a flop – the manifesto

The Jobs Act does not have it done to attack unemployment, and it must be said that for the time being also the recruitment incentives do not bite. The Istat data for March (first month of life of the contract to increasing protections, third regarding relief) are merciless: the rate of unemployment, record the statistical institute, he began to rise again in March: to 0.2 percentage points compared to February, bringing to 13%. The climb came after the declines in December and January, and the slight increase in February. This is the highest level since November last year (then had scored 13.2%).

Male youth unemployment, which is also began to rise again: in March has exceeded the threshold of 43%. The rate marks an increase of 0.3% (also higher than the general, see under the government guarantee young people, made in Poletti): changes to share 43.1%, from 42.8% in February. This is the highest level since August 2014.

People seeking employment in March was therefore 3,302,000, up 1.6% compared to February (52,000 more). In the same month the employed were registered 22.195 million, down 0.3% on a monthly basis (-59 thousand units).

According to seasonally adjusted data, in the first quarter of 2015, employment returned to decline: -0.2% change in the cyclical average compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.

Apart from the attack on the government by the opposition, and the substantial failure of onset of the Jobs Act, “Istat data again belie the optimistic slogan of the government. And reforms of Renzi are useless and ineffective to decrease the unemployment rate in our country – say the senators Cinquestelle – The unemployment rate increased to 13% and we have 52,000 more people without work than in February: the Jobs Act not only serves to increase employment but even making layoffs easier, expanding the audience of the unemployed. “

” In March, lost 59,000 jobs. Record unemployment at 13% and Renzi think Italicum. Other than Jobs Act, “says Giovanni Toti Forza Italy. And Matteo Salvini (League) says, “I wish I knew what it says Renzi of dramatic Istat. I ask him, Poletti, Alfano, on the eve of Labour Day. “

Meanwhile, the three unions are preparing to celebrate May 1 in Pozzallo, dedicating this day to immigrants:” No more war and tragedies in the Mediterranean “, which can not and must not be” a graveyard “but represent” a bridge for those seeking a retreat “in Europe, said the three general secretaries, Susanna Camusso, Annamaria Furlan and Carmelo Barbagallo.

Pensions, tile on the accounts of the State: There, rejected the norm … – Quotidiano.net

Rome, 30 April 2015 – The Constitutional Court declared unlawful under the Save Italy decree passed by the government Monti, that provides the mechanism of equalization, or blocking of the adjustment to the cost of living pension higher three times the minimum INPS matured in the years 2012-13. This is the Article. 24 of Decree Law 201/2011, the so-called norm Fornero, that interest 6 million pensioners.

The ruling of the consultation was filed today . “The interest of pensioners, especially holders of pension benefits modest – says the measure – is aimed at the preservation of the purchasing power of the sums received, hence so consequential to the right a social security benefit adequate. This right, constitutionally established, is unreasonably sacrificed in the name of financial needs not explained in detail. ”

MINA ON ACCOUNTS OF THE STATE – N otevole l ‘impact on the public accounts . The State Legal estimated that the adjustment was worth 1.8 billion for 2012 and 3 billion for 2013. illegitimate becoming the norm, therefore, would be lost almost 5 billion of revenue. And the unions are even talking about 10 billion hole for public purse . Why, they say, those retirees who have been taken away something, now should be repaid.

UNIONS: return the stolen AI PENSIONATI- “After the story of esodati another resounding blow to law Fornero: the decision of the Constitutional Court confirms that the so-called reform is not in feet and that the current rules need to be changed. ” So Vera Lamonica, confederal secretary of the Cgil , comments on the ruling. Lamonica for “the government is wrong not to open an urgent debate on how to change the law as a whole. Now – concluded the union leader – must should promptly return the stolen goods to pensioners , starting from those with allowances equal to three times the minimum “.

Uil and Cisl rejoice and ask to pay retirees. “A judgment that finally does justice”. It said in a note to Domenico Proietti, confederal secretary of the UIL and Romano Bellissima, general secretary of Uil-Retired. “ The decision of the Constitutional Court confirms the unfairness and inappropriateness of the act on the equalization of pension cost of living,” says the confederal secretary of Cisl, Maurizio Petriccioli who hopes that the ruling will ” serve as a warning for the future, both for the government and for Parliament. ”

CGIL: THE HOLE ‘OF 10 BILLION – I 6 million pensioners interested in blocking the adjustment of pensions and the’ hole ‘for the treasury State that according to sources ranging from five to almost 10 billion euro. According to the unions, in particular the Spi-Cgil, the hole could open up is over five billion and nearly 10 billion. Pensioners would not have been paid a total of 9.7 billion euro , equivalent to a loss per capita average of 1,779 euro. The State Attorney instead had placed on the scales, which offset the possible acceptance of the appeal, the figure of about 5 billion that the state should have return to pensioners: 1.8 billion for 2012 and 3 billion for 2013.

MISE: “PENSIONERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO THOSE MONEY” – If you declare unlawful the failure to pay the adjustment, those retirees now have the right to have it. The consequence is that adaptation is payable “. So ANSA Deputy Minister of Economy Enrico Morando , noting he had not yet read the written judgment.” After we will evaluate what to do. “

FORNERO: WAS NOT MY CHOICE – Elsa Fornero, that gives its name to the rule declared illegitimate, is called out. ” N on was my choice, “ says former Minister of Labour, pointing out that it was a decision” around the Government “taken to make savings in the short term.” I’m reproached for many things – but says that was not my choice, it was the thing that cost me more. “

SALVINI: UNO SBERLO AL PD -” A beautiful sberlone to Fornero, the Democratic Party and who voted that infamous law “: so, talking with ANSA, Matteo Salvini said the rejection of the council.” But now – adds Salvini – aspect to Renzi an answer to what I said, to overcome the infamous law, ready, if necessary, to vote on a proposal League-Democratic Party. “

THE REASONS FOR BROWSE – To raise the question of constitutionality had been, with various orders between 2013 and 2014, The Court of Palermo, section work; the Court of Auditors, the legal section for the Emilia-Romagna; the Court of Auditors, the legal section for the region Liguria.

According to the consultation, the reasons set out at the base of the decree are bland and generic, while the outcome that occurs for retirees is heavy . “It must be recalled – reads the judgment – which, for the manner in which it operates the mechanism of equalization, any loss of purchasing power of the treatment, even if limited to short periods, is, by its nature, final. Subsequent revaluations will, in fact, calculated not on the actual value of the original, but the last nominal amount, that the non-adjustment has already been affected. “

” The complaint relating to paragraph 25 of Article. 24 of Law Decree no. 201 of 2011, if examined under the profiles of the proportionality and adequacy of the pension – says the ruling – suggests that they have been validated the limits of reasonableness and proportionality, with resulting injury to the purchasing power of the treatment and irremediable frustration of the legitimate expectations nurtured by the employee for the time after the termination of their activities. “

” are, therefore, ntaccati fundamental rights related to the pension relationship , based on unequivocal constitutional principles: the proportionality of the retirement benefits, understood as deferred compensation (art. 36 Constitution) and adequacy (art. 38). The latter is to be understood as an expression of some, though not explicit, the principle of solidarity “(Art. 2) and” at the same time implementation of the principle of equality “(art. 3).

Italy, unemployment on the rise in March showed one weakness … – Reuters Italy

MILAN / ROME (Reuters) – Back to rise the unemployment rate in Italy, to report as the re-start of the economy expected for the first quarter, combined with the debut of the tax cuts and regulatory changes, has not resulted in an improvement of the situation of the labor market.

According to the monthly estimates by Istat to spread this morning March, the month in which entered in force the rules on the contract at increasing protections for new employment, the unemployment rate rose to 13% from 12.7%, the highest level since last November, compared with a consensus for a slight decrease to 12.6%.

The figure also reflects the tax relief for companies that hire with stable contracts under the law of stability in January.

The situation is slightly less negative in the comparison of the quarter, which show a decline in the unemployment rate of 0.2% compared to the last part of 2014.

The stop to the revaluation of pensions is unconstitutional. The rule that, for 2012 and 2013, has established, “in consideration of contingent financial situation,” that the pension’s amount exceeding three times the minimum INPS (from 1,217 Euros net up) sprang shut the block equalization, ie the mechanism adjusting the pension cost of living, is unconstitutional. This was decided by the Constitutional Court, rejecting the art. 24 of Decree Law 201/2011 regarding the equalization of pensions, contained in the so-called norm Fornero ” Save Italy ”. The impact on the public accounts, estimated by the State when it held a public hearing, would be about 1.8 billion in 2012 and about 3 billion for 2013, a total of almost 5 billion.

Fornero: block equalization was chosen government, not my
The block of equalization for pensions over three times the minimum “was not my choice,” was immediately the former defense minister of labor, Elsa Fornero remembering that it was a decision “around the Government ‘taken to make savings in the short term. “I’m reproached for many things – said Fornero – but that was not my choice, it was the thing that cost me more.” 4 December 2011 Fornero, then Minister of Welfare, could not hold back the tears while on live TV with the team of the Monti government, outlining in detail what and how many sacrifices Italians await the maneuver just launched to release the country from the crisis.

Sales of real estate and providing loans in recovery in Italy and also in Irpinia. The confirmation comes from the estate of Avellino.

The fact that bodes well for the whole construction sector has been spread by ISTAT and refers to the housing market that, in 2014, started to move recording a positive sign. Something that had not occurred for seven years.

In particular, increased in the months of October, November and December last year sales of property for residential use with a general growth, compared to the same quarter of 2013 , 4.9%, and salt to 5,8% if you take into account only the southern regions .

Between October and December, 92.5% of transfers property concerned property for housing and accessories (155909), 6.8% real estate units for loss (11,411) and 0.7% (1,136) housing units for special service and timeshare (excluding boats). The recovery was seen in all types of use, to a greater extent the real estate units for economic (+ 9.2%, compared to + 4.8% for units for housing and accessories).

A trend, that found that the Institute of Statistics, in the province of Avellino, is confirmed by the estate operating in the area.

“In fact, after an annus horribilis, at the end of 2014 there were signs of recovery – confirmation Louis Chiusano Tecnocasa – you are confirming that even in these early months of 2015. There is more demand and are closing more contracts. Of course, it is not that the market has started running, but compared to how things were before, there are good signs. “

To facilitate the sale was definitely the collapse of interest rates.

As always refers to Istat, even for mortgages, loans and other bonds with real estate mortgage entered into with banks or non-banks 2014 it is a year of growth: + 9.2% on 2013, with increases more determined, above the national average, which were recorded in the South with 13.6%.

“In fact, – adds Luigi Chiusano – enter into loan agreements with interest rates between 2.80% and 3.30% is something not seen for almost thirty years, “.

The trend is up sharply in the first quarter of 2015.

For the official data is still early, but a reading of thumb it can be assumed that, at least in Irpinia, the growth being recorded may be higher one just spread by ISTAT.

“Finally something is moving in Avellino – echoes Emilio Valentino, owner Nicola Del Sorbo Abaco Estate Agency -. I can confirm that there is more attention, at least people are starting to ask again to view apartments, which, in a period of total discouragement like that a few years ago, it was even more. Growth confirmed by Istat bode well, even though we are well below the levels of transactions that were recorded up to 7-8 years ago. For who is looking for a house – adds Valentine – there is no doubt that this is the ideal time to buy, especially for those who must go to a bank for a contract loan, with interest rates that are very affordable. “

“Fininvest is healthy and is output by four years of crisis very solid financially and ready to seize development opportunities,” said Pier Silvio Berlusconi today. For now, though, it sells. The farewell to AC Milan is a pure question of money. Toy football has cost the former Knight something like 600 million of losses in 30 years. Satisfactions sports are no longer those of the past and to build the stage you need to open your wallet again. Allowance Bee (or those who put on the table the possible Chinese rivals) has a row of zeros – it comes to an evaluation close to 500 million – able to water down the pain of the fans even more inconsolable.

Unlike the speech for televisions. Mediaset is recovering from a difficult period: “Advertising has fallen by 40%,” said Pier Silvio and only a heavy political cost-cutting has enabled the group to exit the tunnel and return to profit in 2012 after losing 235 well million. Cologno but is too small to do it all alone in a world where they serve large investments – only rights Champions 2015-2018 had to pay almost 700 million – and where the arrival of Google, Facebook & amp; C. is forcing the king ether to go to a wedding with the giants of tlc.

The visit of Murdoch in Villa San Martino and the courting of the Alfa Bolloré (“We have an excellent relationship, we are many fields in which we could work together “) show that the network of home Berlusconi and the group’s presence in Spain are attractive commodity in this risiko. The Stock Exchange has long understood. It has pushed prices to Mediaset upward by 35% year to date: in these minutes the shares are traded on the Milan Stock to 4.7 euro, and the company is worth 5.5 billion euro, 300% more than that November 2011 when Silvio was forced to give up the chair from the spread of Palazzo Chigi. Since then the value of its stake in the company has grown from 400 million to 1.8 billion. And nearly 400 million has already been received by selling them the 7.79% on the market earlier this year.

“We are courted by so many. But whatever we do, the control of Mediaset is not in question,” he guaranteed Pier Silvio today. Will. Meanwhile Fininvest continues to make money. Between Milan and placements of Mediaset and Mediolanum has already held almost 1 billion of liquidity. If you have to sell another 20% of the company’s Ennio Doris, as requested by the Bank of Italy after being convicted for tax evasion former premier, he will pocket another billion, what will he do with all that money? They will be divided among the children or will serve to close the era of balances and really start that growth? The answer will come in the coming months. But surely they have a nest egg more than enough to console trouble Berlusconi of Forza Italy and the inglorious end of the era of the Covenant of the Nazarene.

“The tax authorities can use the list Falciani” Legitimate checks on the data stolen – BBC



Milan , April 29, 2015 – 10:11

Fabrizio Massaro

     
     
 

MILAN After five years to get the Supreme Court to clarify the value of the list in Falciani tax proceedings. Yesterday the sixth Civil Chamber presided by Mario Cicala, whose rapporteur Roberto Giovanni Conti, established the principle that the data contained in the list of computer stolen by former HSBC Geneva, Herve Falciani, can be used in a tax assessment on the part of ‘ Inland Revenue even if they come from a crime. Falciani illegally took away the data to the Swiss bank, so that is on trial in Geneva for this.

But the ordinance states that “can be used in contradiction with the taxpayer data bank acquired by disloyal employee of a banking institution, without which take place relevant any offense committed by the employee same and the violation of the right to confidentiality of bank data (that does not enjoy protection against the tax authorities). ” The decision overturns several decisions of the provincial and regional tax commission and has an immediate effect not only in the process by which it was born, but in all those still pending based on the list Falciani. There are about 7,500 Italian customers with accounts opened at HSBC Private Bank in Switzerland, with about 7.4 billion deposited. From the List of Finance has initiated 3,276 interventions inspection contesting 750 million tax undeclared.

Of the decision will also facilitate the criminal investigation underway in Turin, the first Italian Prosecutor who managed in 2010 to get the data. The investigation entrusted to prosecutor Alberto Perduca has been further fueled by the so-called “second” Falciani list, or from the new data arrived from Spain in 2014 the result of a reworking of material copied from Falciani between 2006 and 2008. But as early as 2013 the Supreme Court had allowed the usability of documents, even if illegally acquired, as a basis for criminal investigation, like the anonymous letters.

There is a further positive effect on the Italian tax authorities, the Advocate Asa Peronace , who attended the taxpayer – a professional poker player – the process which gave rise to the order yesterday: “The principle of law established by the Supreme Court inevitably pushes those who have money abroad to resort to the voluntary disclosure “, ie the complaint voluntary capital hidden abroad by paying taxes but avoiding the crime. And it does so because it establishes the principle that the use of leaked documents does not cause an injury of constitutionally guaranteed rights, particularly the right to privacy, as the banking secrecy was abolished and privacy gives way to the constitutional duty (art. 53) to pay taxes: “The way I see it is a decision more political than legal,” says the lawyer, “this does not make sense to escape the voluntary moving the capital in other tax havens. Why just that an employee infidel or a hacker accesses the data and deliver them to the authorities to be applicable to the tax authorities. ”
