Jumble Eta t: juicy business motorway companies
____________Des profit at full speed through the State
_-Opacity and profit- ".. understand the logic of the rates charged by concessionaires of highways is an obstacle course. The former first president of the Court of Auditors, Philippe Seguin, gave it a try. In 2009, in a crispy report, he criticized the practices of focus increases rates on the lines or routes most frequented. " A revenue surplus of 1% [which] represents, for information, some 60 million euros per year for six companies " the report said. Questionable practices in a context where there are no criteria for limiting the profits of the motorway companies. _Résultat? The 6 French motorway companies - APRR, ASF, Cofiroute Escota, Sanef AWS - are doing rather (very!) Well with a turnover in 2010 exceeding 8 billion euros. The share of toll revenues in this turnover is substantial. If one refers to the financial report APRR 2009, toll revenues represent 82% of sales. Annual revenues of the Chief Officer of APRR are not to be outdone: 430,000 euros in 2009. Even finding Cofiroute, including toll revenues rose 5% between 2008 and 2009. Result? Shareholders have pocketed more than 42 million euros in dividends in April 2010 .. . "
A whopping 2 billion euros: the little gift from the state to motorway companies
_" The toll roads are a jungle population j " In its public report in 2008, the Court noted that the actual revenues exceeded in absolute levels and changes that result seemed of" tariff laws "and fixed. Overtaking held at both the freedom used by certain companies, whilst formally given the overall increase by the administration to concentrate price increases on routes or sections of the busiest - practical criticism called "expansion" - the reduction of the heavy discounts imposed by the Directive Eurovignette 2 "and more fundamentally to faults design of the tariff system .. . "
is the Court who said: " are the highways have been sold off "
-" .. . Especially not about to fuss Vinci and other bétépistes Eiffage as . At a time when state and local funds drawer scrape and rely on the PPP - public private partnerships, evolved form of concession - they appear as the great savior. Difficult to find a politician who does not make their belly dancing to finance road, bridge, school etc.. The construction sector also knows how to make friends with them, co-sponsoring a number of focus group. Witness, the association CALFR, Transport intermodality development and environment, co-chaired by two deputies, the PS and the UMP Philippe Duron, Michel Bouvard. She has organized several interesting symposia during the campaign but still one-way: we need more road, highway, TGV. Funny coincidence, the secretariat of the Association is housed at the siege of the federation of public works ... Move along, move along and do not forget to pay! .. "
Privatization of highways: the same causes, same effects
Bayrou was right on this point : " The privatization of highway is illegitimate . As property belonging to the French people, only representatives of the French people may decide to dispose of. Parliament had spent a great debate the issue in late 2004, under the impetus of Gilles de Robien, Minister of Infrastructure of the time: all groups had spoken out against privatization. "_Mais Six months later, the next government" sacrificing the future to the present. The motorway companies are one of the only assets of the nation whose revenues are guaranteed and grow over time. They are a national asset that pays the most to the state. The case is so attractive that eighteen major European groups have applied for membership! _ By 2032, the duration of the concession highway, it is estimated that these companies have earned 40 billion euros in profits . These revenues have been used to finance major facilities that France needs in the field of transport , as part of a policy of sustainable development: high-speed trains, rail-road, inland waterways and maritime to fight particularly against the greenhouse effect and give our country the equipment it deserves. _This government has sacrificed the future to the present. All the money from the privatization of highways will disappear in the "bottomless pit" of the public deficit. It will be gone forever in a few months. According to opinion polls, the French are opposed to predatory, more than 70%. _This case focuses all the faces of evil French : improvident management, constant turnovers, wasted, forgetting the general interest for the benefit of private interests, contempt of Parliament and casually against the law . This is further proof that we must change things in depth . "
