If you don’t have a job, you can’t afford to live there so you have to go, so it naturally works out that way. “A goat herder and a movie star can walk side by side down the street and no one bats an eyelid.

It's a tting welcome to this little island of extremes, just scary enough to summon a jolt of adrenaline—and possibly a small gasp. That feeling tends to stay with you as you travel the island's winding, narrow roads that hug cliffs with little or no shoulder. Everything about St. Barts is dramatic, from the sleek superyachts bobbing in Gustavia harbor to the expansive (and expensive) white villas with red roofs and open porches perched on the hillsides. The prices for just about everything can be shocking, too, as well as the celebrities who are likely to show up at the next table. (Wait, is that Beyoncé?)

    Améliorer la compétitivité du secteur aérien français Cahier technique n°1 Î Valorisation économique et sociale du transport aérien Améliorer la compétitivité du secteur aérien français - Cahier 1 - Date : 21/06/05 Valorisation économique et sociale du transport aérien Quelle définition pour le transport aérien ? Selon la nomenclature d’activités françaises, le transport aérien regroupe les activités régulières (code NAF 62.1Z) et le transport aérien non régulier (code NAF 62.2Z). Le transport aérien régulier regroupe le transport de personnes, de marchandises et de courrier sur des lignes régulières et selon des horaires déterminés. L’ensemble des vols charters, même réguliers, est exclu de cette classe. Le transport aérien non régulier regroupe les transports aériens de personnes et de marchandises réalisés par les charters, les avions-taxis, les locations d’avions avec pilote, ou encore les excursions aériennes. Les autres activités aériennes telles que les baptêmes de l’air, le parachutisme, les promenades en montgolfière, etc. ne sont pas assimilées à du transport aérien mais à des services récréatifs et services liés au sport. Le transport aérien, un outil indispensable de nos sociétés d’échanges Le trafic aérien mondial est en constante augmentation depuis 10 ans, indépendamment des événements géopolitiques récents. En 2001, l’activité « transport de passagers » est estimée à 364 milliards de dollars, en augmentation de 77% par rapport à 1991. La croissance du transport aérien de fret est de 9% par an, soit en moyenne 3 points de plus que celle du trafic passagers. La demande de transport aérien est principalement induite par la croissance économique, qui s’appuie dans un contexte mondialisé sur un besoin important d’échange et de mobilité des biens et des personnes.

Tax provisions resulting from the French Annual Finance Act Bill for 2018 This bill released on 27 September 2017 is currently being discussed at the Parliament. The below provisions should not be considered as definitive before the act is voted late December. I.1. Cash Desk Software certification The French Annual Finance Act for 2016 introduced new obligations regarding the certification of accounting, management and cash desk software. The related provisions originally introduced in the French legislation under article 286 I 3° bis of the French Tax Code were supposed to come into force on January 1 st, 2018. These original provisions were enacted with the widest scope as for the taxable persons concerned and the software to be certified. The original plan was to make it mandatory for every taxable person realising operations in France and registering payments from their customers with accounting/management/cash desk software, to use certified software satisfying specific terms regarding notably registration, security and data storage. Originally, this obligation was supposed to apply to every taxable person VAT-registered in France and to any piece of software that would operate calculation and registration of the payments such as: • Accounting software : those can be defined as software allowing registration of the payments in different modules (suppliers, customers, wages, ledger, …) • Management software : those are referred by the French Administration to the automated commercial management of orders, invoices, cost estimate or delivery notes and to the management of the stock (sales and purchases), turnover, … o Any piece of software combining the management with the accounting registrations, allowing to monitor the global activity (sales and payments) was then supposed to be part of the certification obligation.

Thus, for eleven territorial delegations in metropolitan France, the services will gradually be grouped at the head-offi ces of the interregional divisions. This reorganisation will go hand in hand with signifi cant efforts towards training monitoring of careers of the agents. 2013 was also the year when the «Aircrew» European Regulation entered into force resulting in strong mobilisation of the DSAC with regard to fl ight crews: pilot training schools, licenses and medical fi tness. Thus, to ensure compliance with Aircrew, DSAC had to redefi ne its methods, adapt its IT tools, make changes in applications, which have been successfully done. Very important work, in collaboration with ENAC, was also carried out along with the French Aeronautical Federation to develop «standard» organisation and training manuals for fl ying clubs. In the medical fi eld, DSAC has completely revised its surveillance and organisation procedures.
