Brigitte Longuet proposes this possibility to the lawyers

You receive today Brigitte Longuet report on reform of the professions. That expect you

Thanks the creation of the regime of the autoentrepreneur I overview of the diversity of "liberal" so-called professionals, with orders and affiliations to specific social schemes, especially for non-regulated professions. That activities flourish at the discretion of the sophistication of the economy, it is very good, but it was time to give more coherence to this very fragmented landscape and which can be confusing.

What is it there to give a new definition of the liberal professions

Brigitte Longuet proposes a definition that seems interesting to me and on which we work. It proposes to register the fact that will be considered as liberal activities benefits primarily intellectual, independently and in the respect of ethical principles in the civil Code. If this new definition was chosen, should consider what professions would continue to be regarded as liberal and what professions may no longer be.

Do you want to expand the autoentrepreneur plan access to the professions

There are now on this subject as on other proposals interdepartmental to conduct phase.

What other proposals hold you

I wish for my part, that we quickly, create the leases of liberal professionals, an index of rents from the tertiary, sitting, activities for commercial rents, on a basket of indices rather than the only indication of the cost of the construction. I found also interesting proposals of Brigitte Longuet create momentary liberal business groups, to carry out projects in the service of clients, and to ask the National Commission for coordination of the liberal professions define ethical, transverse rules in the professions. It must also reflect on the improvement of the status of liberal collaborator: Brigitte Longuet proposes to establish a period of caring with seniority in the case of separation, that we will study with the Chancery. In the interests of simplification, the report also proposes closer on some issues of regimes BNC and BIC non-commercial profits and benefits industrial and commercial, Editor's note.

The President of the authority of the competition, Bruno Lasserre, criticized Monday the "do-nothing" of the Government on the establishment of the group shares ("class actions"). How do you react

With regard to group actions, we will be attentive to the conclusions of the parliamentary working groups who come to build on this subject, as well as the projects of the European Commission.
