Regarding the loan guaranteed by the State, "
several scenarios are useful
" to get out, says François Asselin.
He pleads first of all for "
an additional year of franchise
".
Thus, "
it is necessary to be able to postpone
[the reimbursement of the EMP]
by an additional year
", while the first reimbursements must begin in April 2021.
"Plan consolidation loans"
Extending repayment terms, but also "
providing consolidation loans
" are necessary measures, judges the president of the CPME.
“
An envelope of 300 billion euros has been voted by Parliament for this famous EMP.
140 billion euros will be consumed at the end of the year, 160 billion euros remain
. "
he specifies.
Of this remaining sum, "
we could make loans guaranteed by the consolidated State
".
What would these loans consist of?
François Asselin explains: “
I group together all the debts I have in my business and if my economic model is viable, I spread them over 10 years, if necessary.
"
"Dealing with the rent problem"
When companies close, they "
continue to pay for their homes
" recalls the president of CPME, and among the donors, "
you sometimes have the former craftsman or the former trader, we are not going to deprive them of their retirement
".
The solution is according to him to "
set up a tax credit
", ensuring that "
Bruno Lemaire is working on it
".

As much about the rents that insurance, François Asselin says that "
it's been two months that we
have
submitted proposals
," which include the tax credit and the use of the deposit.
"
We must immediately anticipate the measures that the government must take in the pandemic field
", he concludes.
