In 2007 the wage increase will be around 3

Bertrand Delanoë, the Socialist Mayor of Paris, called for "tight framing" in the development of the penultimate budget of his term before the municipal of 2008, the last fully performed by his team. In addition to these financial constraints, the debate on the budget guidelines 2007 which takes place today at the Council of Paris Announces in a tense political context. The aedile called its majority Union in an account of warrant last week, warning that, if its budget was not voted in December, referring in particular to the environmentalists, "there would be no not a second more Mayor of Paris". "I am surprised, because we have never expressed such an intention, assures René Dutrey, the President of the Greens Group." The Mayor becomes aggressive in this regard, while we are not in a line out of the majority. Only Delanoë is able to gather the left Paris in 2008.

Meanwhile, environmentalists are critical on the limitations in the operating budget 2007 to job creation, reserved for the opening of equipment, whereas the effort of investment is still supported and will exceed EUR 1 billion. "There is a shortage of staff in day-care centres, but also sports educators and guardians of Park, continuing their representative." This rigour prevents to truly live these investments. "Christian Sautter (PS), in charge of the finances of Paris, relativizes its constraints and presents them in perspective, by arguing that"since 2001, 6.722 positions have been created, including 2,000 for new services." "In 2007, the wage increase will be around 3 ".

The majority decided to play prudence, because social expenditures (RMI, APA) continue to weigh ( 50 million) and the staffing assigned to the Union of transport in Ile-de-France (STIF), now led by the region, will spend 227 million to about 300 million in 2007. At the same time, revenues remained stable ( 1 in 2007) and the State has not always honoured his due to the city. "It must still EUR 150 million, in addition to at least 65 million non-compensated in respect of the RMI in 2006", resumed the finance man. Only dynamic resource, powered by real-estate speculation transfer rights are beginning to fall since the summer after a movement of increase interrupted for four years. They approached the 820 million euros.

Research partnerships

The local tax rates will remain stable, as was committed the Mayor. But work was hired by ecologists, favourable to an increase, to see if it is legally possible to unlink the departmental housing tax rate and the lower, while increasing the business tax on built land, not built. In his letter of framing, the first Parisian magistrate refers to improve its margins for manoeuvre, "systematic research of public and private partners to finance certain operations", as this will be the case of les Halles. Finally, the use of the loan will be limited to 2.7 billion next year, approximately 50 of operating revenues, "which is less than the level of indebtedness of most of the other large cities such as Bordeaux", provides the municipality.
