Here are the answers of both candidates still in lists (or of their representative):

CLAUDE MALHURET, for NICOLAS SARKOZY

Associative ( ) movement knew an unsurpassed ( ) development it is necessary to go from now on more quickly and farther the representative of Nicolas Sarkozy determined first of all. Associations so have to find " a more significant place " within the Economic and Social Council and regional Economic and Social Councils. This civil dialogue will also increase by creation, in every central administration of an interlocutor devoted to associations invested with a real authority . In the same optics, UMP offers that the associative employers si gent equal authorities on the whole. France is not a willy-nilly favourable country in financing of associations Claude Malhuret determined by declaring himself favourable to CPO. This policy many time shown for more than ten years ( ) must become real the representative of Nicolas Sarkozy added. The financing deprived in the community life will be reinforced in motive that the public financings are limited and cannot answer all requests . In that capacity, tax measures of deduction will have to be taken to encourage the private donation and the firms. In voluntary work, the creation of " booklet of civic savings will have to allow to the volunteers to collect rights in the domains of VAE and taxation. En mati re de b n volat, la cr ation d un livret d pargne civique devra permettre aux b n voles d accumuler des droits dans les domaines de la VAE et de la fiscalit .

S GOL NE ROYAL

The candidate of PS calls [her] wishes a new Republic in which a better place will be made to associations. While underlining that without strong State associations will be in trouble , S gol ne Royal intends to set up " a new balance " between authorities and associations which would notably pass by a contract of mandature . In this logic, THIS and CESR will have to be grabbed before the Parliament she added. In financing of the community life, the candidate pleads for a national general implementation of CPO . These conventions will have to make the object of a reciprocal valuation by the political elected representatives and by the associative representatives. By admitting the value of social and united economy, an exceptional mind of firm , the candidate recalled her wish to set up the progressive abolition of the tax on wages so that you have the means to work. S gol ne Royal also put the emphasis on two experiments led in the region Poitou-Charentes which she chairs: VAE who allows to an association activist to achieve skills and the taking care by the region of the unwarranted nature of the training for the volunteers. Finally, the concrete expression of a status of the European association is part of envisaged measures. Enfin, la concr tisation d un statut de l association europ enne fait partie des mesures envisag es.
