- N.G.: “Mr GUILLARD, as a President of the Federation of the Trade and the Services of the CEC European Managers, which is your opinion on the economic way out of crisis of the euro area and the needs for our European Managers?”
- JP.GUILLARD: “For several years, my European elective functions, to represent and defend the interests of the women and the men who exert in the sector Commercial and Services me have brought, to exchange with the whole of my fellow-members Presidents and persons in charge of largest and representative professional organizations of whole Europe.
Since 2007, I also on the occasion to lead an economic mission and social towards the countries of “other bank” of the Mediterranean, of which the Kingdom of MOROCCO.
It is by then meeting the principal persons in charge the Commercial, of Industry, the Confederations of the Companies, political and trade-union representatives, whom I acquired the deep conviction that we lay out all together, within this new Euro-Mediterranean space, of a formidable géo-strategic capital Euro-Mediterranean, economic and human, to exceed this world-wide crisis and to benefit tomorrow from our differences to make assets of them, vis-a-vis two other large blocks, China and the USA ".
- N.G.: “When you are listened to, do you want to say that Europe, as economic and commercial Union would not suffice itself for itself economically to face tomorrow in CHINA and the United States of America?”
- JP.GUILLARD: “Indeed, I divide the opinion of good number of international observers and defend this idea, still avant-gardist, as what we must reason for tomorrow, not simply on the level of Europe, such as we know it, but quite to the contrary with the géo-politico-economic total dimension of the Union For the Mediterranean, it is with this dimension that I work since now more than 4 years.
A such farmer who digs his furrow, day after day and as for the young plantations, it being necessary to work hard during several seasons, without work does not see himself sometimes, nor that there is of harvest…
But I grew in contact with people who taught me that after having sown, having sprinkled and to let push, nature and work reward you in return ! “.
- N.G.: “Since you speak about production, when one sees since many years a too great number european companies to have delocalized their production units in Asia, more recently in India, which future, according to you, for our Européen space, in term of industrial production, maintenance and/or job creation?”.
- JP.GUILLARD: “In front of the increase in the world costs of certain raw materials, impacting loads of production which do not cease growing in certain sectors, being added to that the effects of a happy social and trade-union release of the actors of the work world in many countries of production said “to low costs”, in particular in Asia, where the loads, taxes and various new taxes do not cease appearing, today, a great number of european companies which had made the choice delocalize and/or sub-contract, whole or part of their production, in countries with the other end of our world, start to return to produce on our continent, inter alia in European Member States of the east.”.
- N.G.: “Mr. President, when you do tackle the problem of this competition of the production costs, in particular related to costs of particularly low labor in certain countries of the world, where the workers do not agree any more to live too low wages and conditions sometimes close to a new form of modern slavery, which to think then of the productions which are done today in certain countries of Eastern Europe and in the Maghreb countries?”
- JP.GUILLARD: “If we want to tomorrow ensure a better future our children, it is essential that all the Euro-Mediterranean actors of the Primary sector, Secondary and Tertiary are justified by this historical challenge to develop our part of the world together.
We will be able to never again make evolve/move tomorrow the capital with the detriment of the social one and they is quite happy thus, finally…
The current events, in now almost all the countries of North Africa, do to nothing but point out us what we known on our own continent, since “the storming of the Bastille” in 1789 and in particular more recently during the fall of the Berlin Wall, just like in the balkans and other old countries of the ex Soviet block.
This walk ahead towards more freedom, from democracy, a normally remunerated work and “right to happiness” brutally comes to show us that all the people of our planet have the same vital needs and that for this reason humanitarian, exactly the same international laws.
It well will be necessary that, in particular, the traders become of it aware, if however they condescend to take time to leave their gilded towers, and of their cyberspace such a “second life”, to return in the true life, that of the human beings, brothers and sisters which live all on same very small planet, not to say a day too small planet, in order to respect the vital needs and survival even various species, of which ours!”
- N.G.: “Your social fiber is expressed when you defend these world causes… Mr. President, which is then your vision of what you baptized, at the time of your last public intervention, the “Eurolocalisation?”
- JP.GUILLARD: “The Managers in the European Union have the capacity to operate and all the indicators are with the green for “Eurolocaliser” their productions, in particular while contributing to the rise of the whole of the new Member States of Eastern Europe and all friendly country of the Union For the Mediterranean, thus benefitting from specifically advantageous conditions with the free zones of the circumference of the Mediterranean.
The productions, in particular in Asia, are made only by series very important of many parts to produce to deaden the moulds, the costs of transport, the volume of the containers and the time lag between the orders and the deliveries in Europe.
What besides prevents most of our SME, first national and creative employers of employment, to be able to reach these remote and expensive markets of delocalized production.
I firmly defend the valorization of Eurolocalisation in our Euro-Mediterranean space, we have all base to develop “Taiwan” European, more socially balanced, in particular in the European countries of the East and the free zones of the Mediterranean, from large companies were not mistaken there, of which for France, in particular being established Renault, advisedly, within the new harbor space of TANGIER MED in free zone”.
- N.G.: “Mr GUILLARD, you speak about the wearing of Tangier, precisely, you know very well that one of the constraints of Eurolocalisation concerns, inter alia, the transport of the raw materials and the manufactured goods, how see you the evolutions of the years to come?”.
- JP.GUILLARD: “Transport develops, the connections are created: tomorrow we will travel by the TGV in Brussels to join other bank of Africa by the tunnel under the Mediterranean.
For all the ecological and economic advantages, tomorrow the Piggyback traffic will be essential, just like the autroutes of the sea, making it possible to increase the commercial exchanges in all the Mediterranean basin.
We can sleep and to already to return us in less than 3 hours of plane, in good number of countries equipped with these new production capacities Euro-Mediterranean.
One can thus treat markets quickly, to be present for the follow-up of the commercial relations, to attend the production, to set up audits qualities very simple and fast, by continuous assessments.
One leaves the morning to see his line production and one is the evening even returned in his hearth.
We have all favor to produce enters us, of the shorter series, less requirements in treasury, more autonomies, of reactivity, time and costs of transport, more quality and controls…
As taught to me my first chairman, at Steelcase-Strafor, Henri LACHMANN: “Control does not exclude confidence, quite to the contrary it reinforces it!” “.
- N.G.: “Before we do not leave, which is your topicality?”
- JP.GUILLARD: “The network of European Managers wishes to obtain today new means to develop these markets within the Union For the Mediterranean, in order to make it possible to the Managers to optimize their business within the 44 states of the Union For the Mediterranean (from which the 27 members of the European Union), this is why, we developed solutions to bring the answers to their questions and a solution to their needs to be able to develop their business, by identifying and contacting their fellow-members of Euro-Mediterranean space, in a direct and operational way”.
- N.G.: “Which are these new communications tools and on which technology they are developed?”
- JP.GUILLARD: “We took the initiative to put at the service of the whole of the Managers of the Euro-Mediterranean space the best resources of Web 2.0, within a new Club space of Businesses, dedicated to exclusively professional relations, framed by a deontologic charter and only by sponsorship, co-optation or on justified file, appreciated by a Selection committee.
By giving the means to all these decision makers of exchanging by recommendation, we want to institutionalize a true spirit “club” between the Members, respectful by their subscription for a code common of good behavior, to develop the recommendation, new method of creation of business connections, complementary to Marketing, Lobbying and of Networking, but much faster, targeted and completely confidential.
- N.G.: “You speak to us about a new social network, one moreover, nothing again?”
- JP.GUILLARD: “Not, absolutely not, because precisely we made the choice now exceed the stage which you practice certainly like me, that of the “social network of exchanges of addresses” where you you made “new friends” that you do not know with more than 80%, and in addition that your diary and your many Emails to be treated firstly, will not leave you time to return in contact with them, unless with your retirement…
But there will be too late to make deals! With identical of its traditional repertory of business addresses, the electronic repertory of all these new networks leaves you just time as well as possible to exploit some less than 20%.
In short on all these networks “everyone it is beautiful, everyone it is friendly”, but nobody knows anybody for true friendly relations and of course even less to make deals…
- N.G.: “But then, which is its goal, to which addresses your new Euro-Mediterranean club of businesses and which can return there?”
- JP.GUILLARD: “Our Club of Businesses is exclusively dedicated to support the exchanges between the Managers within the Union For the Mediterranean: Liberal managers or paid/Consulting Managers/Heads of undertakings/Agents/Sales representatives/Brokers/Intermediate of Businesses/Advisers/etc In particular for the Formation, the Artisanal Industrial production and/or, Subcontracting, the Delocalization, the Relocalization, the Distribution, Export, the Importation, the Sale and the Purchase of Raw materials and/or Manufactured goods, etc
We will offer to the Managers Union For the Mediterranean a very new service so that they can treat on line between them, by oldest of the principles in the world, in the trade: the recommendation, but with the most recent strategic concept of development: Web 2.0, within the framework of a Club of Businesses exclusively reserved to, co-opted sponsored professionals or validated by a Selection committee, framed by a charter, a code of conduct and recommendations of invoicings of services of intermediation, into force. “
- N.G.: “Will Jean-Philippe GUILLARD, this club allow to exchange as in a traditional social network?”
- JP.GUILLARD: “Not, because the social networks became giant electronic directories where finally, by discretion or because one always does not know the motivations of the other, one speaks very little about money and orders.
Our Club is only dedicated to the realization of businesses and the money profits!
Today and since the world-wide crisis, which we hardly leave, the reactive Managers do not have any more time of the observation, this phase is finished!
One speaks oneself “cash”, one exchanges immediately and free by skype, realizing with the passage of the consequent economies in times of nondisplacement and silver, and thus one can privilege the businesses primarily, in order to go beyond the simple exchanges, the profit of the concrete realization of the development of new market shares, matérialiséees by direct actions allowing to generate” offers, orders, deliveries, invoicings and cashings!
To face this way out of crisis, our companies need each day fresh money and cash, and either of meetings of brain storming and futile conversations or obliging and flattering Emails ".
- N.G.: “Will Mr GUILLARD, these new helps with the Managers be operational when? Is this club as of now accessible today to the Managers and on which address?
Also, do not be not afraid to function in isolation with a principle of Club, as in the club-houses of the golfs, where one retouve sometimes always the same people?
- JP.GUILLARD: “On the one hand, we are pleased to announce to you out of early product, officially the launching at the beginning of October 2011 of this First Club of businesses of the Euro-Mediterranean Managers: the Club of businesses EUROMED BUSINESS MANAGERS.
In addition, to answer your question, I make a point of bringing a precision of size to you, because with an aim of not creating this Club in “isolation”, like you said, we have also the privilege to announce to you that our Club of businesses Euromed Business Managers will join the first International Club of Businesses, as of October 2011, on www.jkpm.net/profileclub-17@Euromed%20Business%20Managers.html
This affiliation will precisely allow all the Managers, Members of our Club Euromed Business Managers, to open on the world of the first International Social network of Businesses, entirely recommendations and introductions social and professional.
Thus thanks to a transparent connection with the other Clubs of businesses, distributed in the whole world, our Euro-Mediterranean Members will be able to benefit from the same services in “extra-club” as in “intra-club”! For even more recommendations extrèmement targeted, where they will wish it, already today, in more than 90 countries, for more than 308.000 contacts developed by 5450 Members, with a progression from + 600 per month.
While waiting, this official launch in October 2011, all the managers sponsored or informed by the press, or institutional networks, can as of now if they wish it, being registered on the list of recording while clicking known this site about the key “contacts” of our www.euromed-business-managers-network.com site, by specifying the name of their godfather or the nature of their motivations in spontaneous candidature, they are as of now welcome.”
The recommendation, the comparison, operation in network, are the keys of the success in businesses! Our Club of businesses is based on confidence and the respect between its Members, the co-optation and the anonymity of the first exchanges making it possible to freely agree to render service or not, in a free or remunerated way.
Euro-Mediterranean space is a formidable commercial challenge for all those which want to try hard of it. The exchanges in Europe and in particular towards the Eastern European countries, as on the two sides of the Mediterranean will develop in the years to come: thanks to concrete actions such as ours, through this Club of Businesses Euromed Business Managers.
We have sleep and already invited and invited to present their candidature or for being sponsored, to return in the Club of Businesses, with the Members of our traditional networks “of electronic directories”, in particular on VIADEO, where we manage the development of new the hub Euromed Business Managers network, which counts more than 500 registered participants, as well as the sectoral hub, dedicated to the trades of the Real estate in the Euro-Mediterranean space, Euromed Real Estate Managers, which counts to him approximately more than 780 registered participants, to date, coming from all the countries the countries of Euro-Mediterranean space.
- N.G.: “Thank you, for time that you granted to us, Mr. President GUILLARD, we will not fail to follow this launching and to the need to return towards you from here a few months to make a point together, long life thus in Euromed Business Managers; which will be your word for the end?”.
- JP.GUILLARD: “I invite you to become Membre of our Club, under the effect of my sponsorship… Because to answer your last question, each one must contribute its share of development, in particular by its own contacts qualified by levels of knowledge (from 1 to 5). Of this fact of qualifying for the other Members his own capacity of influence and recommendation.
All the Members must sponsor, co-opt and to enlarge our Club, for this reason I will give the example!
A word for the end, since you underlined my social fiber presently, I share and defend fully the new concept of our partner JKPM: it is that of the relational ascencor, to make it possible to the seniors to help and to accompany the juniors.
Thank you also with you, we will be happy of being able to again accommodate you in Brussels and to present success to you that, without fault, this nouceau service must bring to the Euro-Mediterranean Managers.
