As other communities are the same movement

The Socialist Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë, has just published its adjudication on the rise in local taxes in 2010. While pursuing the economies, it maintains its policy of solidarity and an investment of 8.5 billion by 2014. A month of the Copenhagen Summit, Bertrand Delanoe will present Monday by the Council of Paris the shares of the capital for the climate.

For the removal of business tax, François Fillon you he reassured

Non. I support a reform of the tax, but a month and a half before its entry into force, we don't always know the rule of the game. The Prime Minister responded to any of our concerns, nor on the need to maintain a link between economic activity and land, or the preservation of the tax autonomy of our communities. As the soothing speeches on "new compensation" promised by the State, they do not persuade us. First, because the principle itself is not healthy. Then, because of experience we know that on the duration State does compensate for ever to the nearest euro. In Paris, for example, on the only RMI, to December 31, 2008, the State must 119 million euros to the taxpayer. I hope therefore that Parliament can change things and hear the legitimate concern of local elected representatives, of left and right.

In July, you have announced a first savings plan, which would worsen in December. Where are you

After the 23 million savings decided in the second half of 2009, the 2010 budget provides 50 million of additional savings on the current operation. For example, I wanted a reduction of 2.4 million of the budget of the communication, already strong down to my predecessors. We are also in place as early as this year a branch of purchases, we expect significant margins. But these efforts go hand in hand with the maintenance of a high level of expenditures of solidarity. Thus, 40,000 housing on the term funding will allow the town to achieve as soon as 2014 20 of loi SRU. Confirmation as new benefits, as Paris housing, which allows the people whose rent exceeds 30 of revenues, to be supported by the community. I would add that our departmental insertion plan, in 2009, has already the objective of 9,000 returns to employment will be amplified in 2010.

You will not submit in case any investment

Non. Dynamics must be maintained, to modernize our city and support the economy. We are investing so EUR 8.5 billion by 2014: 18 higher than between 2001and 2008, which already, doubling the investment from the previous parliamentary term. Equipping Paris with the tram, nurseries, schools, it is enrich the heritage of the Parisians and improve their service. In 2010, we will invest 1.6 billion, of which 900 million self-financed. And, on the term, I would point out that EUR 1 billion will be devoted to innovation and universities. This is fundamental, because the future of Paris also passes by the intelligence and new research and business synergies.

You will need to find new recipes. Where will take you

For the second and last time in this parliamentary term, we will use a very moderate increase in taxation: all rates increase 8 in 2010. This is lower than last year, since we created the departmental tax, which represented an increase of 28 owners . But the tax in Paris remains and will remain much lower than elsewhere. In 2009, the average amount of that pay the Parisians, property tax and tax d'habitation cumulative, is 947 euros, against 2.124 in Bordeaux and 1.774 in Marseille. This is the facts, after the adjustment of taxation. Clearly, the 8 from 2010 will represent an average increase on the tax of 37 euros, and 66 euros for property tax. Either additional recipe for EUR 145 million. Then, I insist, there will be increase of local taxation of the parliamentary term.

Will you use more for the loan

Our debt ratio stood at 39 of our revenue. This rate is 80 on average, for cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants. I will therefore ensure that we remain below this average until the end of the term.

But this average, will you not nevertheless have bring you

Yes, but with 900 million euros of cash flow on 1.6 billion of investment in 2010, I shouldn't bring in together too quickly. As other communities are the same movement.

Members of Parliament are preparing to debate on the Bill at the Grand Paris. Are you still as negative

Yes, totally opposite. The offset is huge between the State of mind of displayed partnership April 29 by the President and the brutal, technocratic and driver Bill. I asked the State to be more active in Ile-de-France, but not with another time methods. His project is just a transport system which is not even sure it is complementary to the urgent building that identifies each, and for which French communities have already mobilised EUR 12 billion. This is a concrete issue where the commitment of the State is expected He says, but we don't always know when and at what height.

A a months Copenhagen, what Paris is œuvre

Our climate plan aims to reduce gas emissions 25 by 2020 greenhouse and to diversify our energy sources to 25 renewable energy at the same time. To do this, we act on all levers: traffic has already decreased by 20 between 2002 and 2007, but it must go further with the extension of the tram, or at the next launch of "autolib" for example. We also study the suppression of the traffic on certain sections of the tracks on banks. Other data: between 2001 and 2014, we will have achieved 62 hectares of additional green space. In addition, end of 2009, we will have completed energy diagnosis of social housing in Paris, which will allow us to engage in their isolation, with 4,400 housing units concerned as soon as 2010. Finally, we schedule of many ecoquartiers, including the ZAC Clichy-Batignolles, whose carbon footprint will be void. In total, 200,000 square metres of photovoltaic panels will be installed in the capital. But we also develop geothermal energy, and experiments are conducted to recycle wastewater and sludge.

Is this policy compatible with your towers projects

The tall buildings are a component of the climate plan. They limit urban sprawl and facilitate the development of green spaces. Paris is dense. And, to fulfil its functions of housing, economic activity, public service, our city must regain some margins in height. With Anne Hidalgo, we therefore claim buildings limited to 50 metres for housing in Batignolles. I say this to our Green friends: the Alchemy between habitat, employment and aesthetics is a true urban challenge. It is also a social issue. And Paris faces.

Your relations with the Greens seem to be to be distant. Is this not imprudent if near the regional

I want to my partnership with the Greens. In the last municipal, they are the ones who are distanced themselves, not me. Despite this, they are still in the majority. Today, it is still them departing separately at the regional. I do not dispute them it. But the option of gathering, novation and accountability represented by Jean-Paul Huchon is certainly more constructive.
