Here the wish which we presented Monday November 17 during the meeting of the Council of district, intended to loosen a little the constraint which weighs on the parking in 14th:

The Council of Paris adopted on April 21, 2008 a wish inviting the Mayor of Paris to seize the Prefect of police so that can be tried out the residential parking of night on the surfaces of deliveries, in all the districts of Paris where measurement would be relevant, and in dialogue with the organizations of professionals, in accordance with the Charter signed with the latter.

This experimentation however was limited to 3rd and 17th districts of Paris.

The 14th district, like all the districts of the capital, is confronted with difficulties of parking of surface.

The 14th district presenting all the characters of relevance to make the object of such an experimentation (except contrary demonstration of the municipality), and the general interest ordering that one applies any measure likely to render a service to the inhabitant without compromising the interest of the community, the Council of the 14th district expresses the wish that the Mayor of Paris takes the fastener of the Prefect of police so that the experimentation in progress authorizing the parking on the surfaces of delivery in evening at night saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays, is extended to the 14th district.

This wish was adopted unanimously.

Reports/ratios of experts, reports/ratios erudite, right reports/ratios on the orientation: there exists much about it, the cupboards of the State abound in it. With the passing of years, all the authorities of State education, its inspectors, the experts gave all their vision of the things.

The innovation, which should not be one about it, it is that for the first time, an institution in charge of employment, the Council of Orientation for Employment, seized itself of the question. If we decided to lean us on this subject which is beyond the strict borders of the job market, it is for a simple reason: at the base of the difficulties of professional insertion of the young people, there is often a bad orientation. An orientation which sufficiently did not take account of the desires, competences and the talents of the young people. An orientation too little in phase with the job market and its evolutions.

The other innovation, it is that the Council of Orientation for Employment chose to limit its investigations to the analysis of the words of experts either only to that of the institutional expressions. It decided to call on those which live the orientation, with those which act, with those which undergo too. And that by setting up a Forum Internet open to all, the young people as with their parents. The cost of a bad orientation, for the young people and their family, is so considerable that the rough account their experiments deserves to be heard. We also chose to request its point of view from the educative community.

Each one being given the word, success is with go: 15.000 consultations, more than 400 contributions. They recall, sometimes on a vehement tone, that the BABA of what the company should offer to each young person at the moment when it prepares to be directed towards a die, namely of the accurate informations and reliable on the success rates to the examinations, on the professional prospects in the short and medium term, or the fate of the former students, is not always assured. They reveal that the orientation is a formidable catalyst of social inequalities and geographical. They show all the anguish of young people and sometimes their anger.

The messages published on the Forum also reveal a faintness at certain professionals of the orientation. They consider that strong the critics who are addressed to them are unjust it has successful orientations there and fear reforms which would be done with their costs.

But the contributions of the Net surfers also invite to pragmatism and to refute any systematic mind. Because they clarify all the complexity of the orientation, in all its dimensions: which information to place at the disposal them young people and how to guarantee its relevance? which council to offer? how to make sure that competences of the young person are adapted to the success of its project? .

Obviously, beyond the analysis of the contributions of the Forum, the Council of Orientation for Employment will make as with accustomed his honey of all the scientific work. He will hear the experts. He will discuss like always with the concern of carrying a word and proposals specific and consensual. But in a few weeks, when it submits his report to the Prime Minister, each one of its conclusions, each one of its proposals will be also based on your word.

The period is favourable so that they are implemented, the Government expressed its strong intention to act. Let us not miss this occasion to improve the things. Then, by on December 12, contribute your share, give us your testimony, still make progress our reflexion. You connect on the Forum of the Orientation by typing www.coe.gouv.fr.

President of the Council of Orientation for Employment

The Council of Orientation for Employment is an authority independent of social dialogue and expertise which gathers all the actors of the job market: all representative trade-union confederations, employers, representatives of all the administrations and public services in charge of employment as well as territorial collectivities, economists, DRH, and experts.

For the president of the Council of orientation for employment (COE), it is necessary to put an end to a system where the vocational guidance of the young people is synonymous with course of the combatant, even of galère for the young people as for their parents! The role of the COE is to find solutions with managements and labor to improve employment. This subject is essential, because it touches the young people but also the adults, who from now on are brought to change orientation throughout their life. Marie-Claire Carrère-Gée wants to surmount the quite French and antiquated bulk-heading between studies and employment, because to open out in its studies and to find an employment is not incompatible!

The partners of the consultation, impetus today and until December 5, are Le Figaro, letudiant.fr, fun radio.fr, france5.fr and its Web tele educational curiosphere.tv. It is intended to collect the experiments of young people, but also those of the educative community and the parents. Thanks to questions such as: were you actor of your orientation or you underwent it? did one help you with better determining your desires, your talents and your competences at the time to choose a way? did one speak you about employment and how?

To these contributions, we will add the reflexion of the experts and managements and labor who compose the Council to make, at the end of the year, of the specific proposals and especially applicable to the Prime Minister, the president of the COE continues. The letter of assignment of Xavier Darcos lays down the installation of a true service of the orientation. The ministers Christine Lagarde and Laurent Wauquiez indicated that they made confidence with the Council to prepare decisions in the field of the vocational guidance throughout the life. A. SE.

The municipal majority directed by Pierre Castagnou was illustrated once again by its singular designs of the democracy. After the episode of the drawing lot of the councils of district, that of the votings citizens (sic) without electoral roll nor of annotating organized in Town hall on a subject without relationship with communal competences, the new rules of procedure of the Council of district worked out by the Mayor and his majority comes to be added to the already long list of the examples of attacks to the basic principles of the democracy.

In this payment, the Mayor wanted to assume the right to authorize, or not, of the advisers of of the same district political sensibility to set up a group within the Council! And that, without any other ctritère of appreciation that goodwill of the Mayor! With the head of the customer, all in all.

The Prefect, intervening under the control of legality, naturally crossed out this provision of the Rules of procedure, which will thus not enter into force.
