Some points of interest in the Presidents speech

In the autumn he promised a law that would  “completely overhaul” tax for ordinary households, and he would make sure that he didn’t transfer any burden from companies to families, on the contrary, in the longer term he would aim for less tax.

He also spoke of encouraging young people to stay in France, of the importance of cutting public spending, and of closer alignment with Germany including on business tax regimes and on green energy initiatives.

He wanted France to be the engine at the heart of Europe, not a carriage, he said, and would be backing closer monetary and economic union and a banking union which he said would mean banks would support each other if they are in difficulty, without cost to taxpayers.

He would also be promoting reforms at local level, and in a few years’ time there may be changes in the number of regions of France.

A new law would be debated making it possible for people to opt for euthanasia where they are terminally ill and their suffering cannot be alleviated. - See more at: http://www.connexionfrance.com/Hollande-Closer-press-conference-Trierweiler-15367-view-article.html#sthash.ae6oHAGn.dpuf
