Less than four months of the regional, with a full focus on the security theme, it is not question for the Government of risking offending the electorate right and extreme right on the theme of migrants in an irregular situation. He thus surrounded himself precautions for presentation yesterday, new circular of regulation concerning employees without titre of living promised by the Minister of Immigration in response to the movement of undocumented migrants that swells since mid-October and is now 5.500 employees. While it is moving in the suburbs, Tuesday, the head of State had repeated that he would "never" engage in a massive regularisation, in response to the left and to the Modem. "It is in no case of a massive regularization", reiterated also, and on several occasions, Eric Besson, with its text yesterday, ensuring that he would no more than "1,000 adjustments."

The criteria are expanded but remain quite tight (read here). To political balance, it also detailed the Bill that will prepare the Government "to combat irregular immigration", transposing a directive adopted on 18 June. According to Eric Besson, this text will affirm "a general prohibition of employment of foreign nationals in irregular stay." He also referred to the strengthening of sanctions against employers using illegal residents employees, already announced by Xavier Darcos. "Because using a foreigner without a residence permit is more serious that use a French or a foreigner in a regular situation without the report", explained Eric Besson.

Jointly and severally liable

The Minister referred to numerous measures, including the strengthening of financial sanctions, the prohibition of "knowingly ...". "the services of an employer of a foreign national without residence permits", the obligation to pay social security contributions corresponding to three months of employment minimum in tort, the ineligibility to tenders national and European in this case and the ineligibility to the national public aid and European for up to five years. Followed by the reimbursement of the perceived public aid the year of the offence, the possibility of closure "by reasoned decision" an establishment "on a provisional basis and for a period not to exceed six months" and "proportionate to the magnitude of the facts found", and finally, the obligation for all master of work informed in writing of the use by a subcontractor to a sans-papiers of requiring it to stop this situationat the risk of being declared jointly and severally liable for the tort. All areas which will be again discussed today by the Minister of labour, Xavier Darcos, which brings together the National Commission to combat illegal work, which comprises the social partners and in which the unions will not fail to share their comments on government projects.

This will not terminate the order paper. Organizations defending strikers, were satisfied with having finally obtained a unique circular containing "of things interesting, for example on security officers", but noted its "very vague" terms, "which will allow prefectural arbitrariness continue", and the fact that the problem of home-based workers, Algerians and Tunisians, "still around". "The movement must continue", finds Francine Blanche, the SGC.
