BISHOP'S CONFERENCE OF FRANCE RELEASE: The approach of the presidential election of 2012, the CCFD-Terre Solidaire unveiled its "deal for solidarity land."
16 concrete proposals on tax evasion, migration policies, regulation of agricultural markets and transnational companies.
CCFD-Terre solidaire wants to put international solidarity at the heart of the presidential election. Because the France is in the world, a giving campaign has no sense. Especially when it comes to migration policy and fight against tax havens, two issues that go beyond our borders and which were the subject of zoom at the presentation of the "Pact for joint land", February 2, 2012.
The conclusion is simple: since the development aid is not enough, it is first in France that they must act: on our economic, financial, trade and migration policies. Since 2007, in crisis are "of a system", analysis Bernard Pinaud, General delegate.
The objective of the campaign launched by CCFD-Terre solidaire is therefore to incorporate a maximum of these proposals in the programme of the candidates. Mobilized for a year already, the development NGOs met with the various parties and sent experts to their summer schools. The positioning of the arrested candidates will be made public on its site and monitoring of commitments - balance to 100 days for example - is expected. Bernard Pinaud promises that mobilization does not stop the election day!
To sensitize civil society also, CCFD-Terre solidaire volunteers will lead discussions on the 16 proposals. In April, a national poster campaign will aim to (re) say "citizen power" and to bring the question of international solidarity in the street. In 2007, the "State of planetary emergency" campaign advocated, among other things, the end of the "Françafrique". In 2002, the campaign "Put pressure" insisted on the cancellation of the debt commitment by Jacques Chirac.

Zoom on tax fraud and migration policy
The theme of tax evasion and tax havens is now taken into account seriously by politicians. It was particularly in the menu of the G20 in Cannes in November 2011. Yet the CCFD-Terre Solidaire experts consider inapplicable and insufficient existing device. Little strategic, 18 territories listed represent only 1% of financial flows. The European Union is not party: where are the Luxembourg, Andorra, Monaco and the Ireland? That said major French international companies whose subsidiaries are domiciled in tax havens? Valued at EUR 20 billion international, the shortfall for the State is equivalent to the famous "hole in the social security system." In total, tax fraud costs EUR 50 billion to the French State. More ambitious measures are urgent!
"You can't believe the France without international vision." "Are responses to contemporary issues in international solidarity." These are the beliefs of the CCFD-Terre Solidaire migration policies. Experts note however that the subject is little discussed in the programmes of the parties. They offer particularly to stop the blackmail of the France poor countries dissociating the assistance to the development of the movement and installation agreements negotiated with already about 15 States. The current Government has set a goal of 20 agreements signed by 2013.
