Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux has also launched a “call” to companies to let employees go to be vaccinated during their working time if they wish.


Will France be there for a gradual resumption of the activity of restaurants and establishments that have been closed for months?

This Monday, the head of Medef pleaded for a reopening and restart of economic sectors in mid-May, whatever happens.

We cannot live forever at the hook of the State,

” Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux said on France Inter, adding that the recovery had to be prepared upstream.

A work which “

started with Bercy

”.

"

You have to open at all costs [...] better to reopen with health constraints than not to reopen at all,

" he said.

For example, restaurants could first resume their activity on the terrace, then with gauges in the rooms, and sports halls could rely on a new mask designed especially for the practice of physical activity, said the boss. bosses.

For its part, the Medef supports the principle of the QR code at the entrance of establishments, but remains more measured in the use of the health passport, which must be restricted to "

specific points

" such as air travel or "

professional events

”.

No health pass to go have a coffee downstairs, it is this balance that must be found,

" he urged.

A "

call

" to let the employees go to be vaccinated during their working time

Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux also launched a "

call

" to companies, while France begins a new phase of its vaccination campaign Monday: "

we have 55-year-old employees

" and they must "

obviously be a priority in this new stage of vaccination,

”he said.

Employers must therefore let their employees go to be vaccinated during their working hours if they wish.

But this vaccination should only be done on a voluntary basis, not by force, qualified the head of Medef: "

just as the PCR test is voluntary [...], it can only work if it is voluntary. .

Any form of obligation will be counterproductive on the subject of the vaccine,

”he warned.

Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux also defended the use of teleworking in companies, yet deemed too weak by the government.

"

We can certainly do better, but compared to the first confinement, reluctance to telework is often on the side of employees or managers, for good reasons

", explained the boss of Medef, citing psychological distress, isolation and material conditions unsuitable for good practice.

"

It is not a subject where you have to fall into the bad bosses who do not want to, it is much more complex than that

", argued Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux.
