AGONIZIED CONCERNS ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY OF INDUSTRY OF TOBACCONISTS OF GREECE

VOLOS 06/07/2012 Doc. Ref: 567

AGONIZIES CONCERNS ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY OF INDUSTRY OF TOBACCONISTS OF GREECE

Dear friends,
As one understands a large sector of  tobacconists of Greece records and trying to tackle a series of problems for sustainability. Main causes of this process are several factors which need the support of both the state and of its partners and of course the consumer society in general. The stand – tobacconist in Greece completed almost 100 years. The stand – tobacconist was and is a national symbol and support of the Greek economy but this time on the altar of sacrifice have lost several thousands of our colleagues on their work and have remained unemployed. It is the only branch to offer unpaid (as tax collector) collects money for the needs of the state. If there is no coordinated effort to support a large industry with more than 100,000 colleagues – invalids and war victims – associates – tobacco companies – employees will spend on the sidelines of unemployment. If you start to analyze the problems axes will understand the great difficulties we face.
We inform you as Federation Peripterouchon tobacconists Greece, that for some time both our sector and all small businesses accept stifling pressure to be shrinking business in a coordinated effort extermination of all professions. In this effort played an important role and exerted government policies, the privileges granted them and with the financial support given to them to enforce the rules of globalization with polymorphic polymorphic sites stores. So dear friends and girlfriends, launched and coordinated the extermination of our industry:
You all know that the main product we sell are tobacco products and that this time challenged from many fronts. As intense taxation of excise tax reaches 83.70% of the total cost of each pack of cigarettes, and the pressure of the tobacco industry in order not to lose market shares by lowering the price and total profit per pack to 0.08 to 0 14 minutes and a rate of profit on a 3% to 3.5%. A similar product of our business is mobile phone cards in this product have the profit rate from 2% to 3%. When smuggling in Greece reaches the limit of 20% when kapnoapagorefseis create so many major problems, when society is in a deep crisis and is facing viability problems are not the industry may have a future and sustainability perspective.
We dear friends and girlfriends to date on the altar of the sacrifices we have lost 7000 thousand colleagues nationwide and about 360 colleagues in Thessaly. Currently we are facing huge insolvency, and of course we can not meet operating expenses of everyday life. It must be said that today, under the economic conditions are unable to have the basic goods to our business. The great difficulty of our liquidity and low mobility compels us to live under the nightmare of poverty and the constant pressure of the padlock.
We mention that 80% of the selling points of our colleagues is at the stage of despair and decay, 11% covers the most basic functional requirement and only 9% and this in every market center – has little financial strength. These figures prove the recordings – deletions of Chambers of each county. We also mention that the whole industry is 46000. The 50% to 60% of our colleagues have an annual turnover of € 150000. 30% of our colleagues is below 100000 € and only 10% of our colleagues have a little sustainability in their businesses. One of the biggest problems that plague our industry is the constant burglaries and this is because increasingly vulnerable social groups are at the stage of despair. But how to protect ourselves and will shield our industry if we do not have the necessary security shutters? How many times have we become victims of prospective thieves? That’s why we try to have bright lighting in our business. In particular companies that operate at night and need the presence of a second person. All of us a few years ago dear friends we were in the manufacturing process and because of the great industrialization suffered by our country was forced to lead in order to survive in the industry  tobacconists. A large part of this society are our colleagues kiosk renters, owners disabled,  companies, employees of tobacco companies, distributors or service station etc., a branch with a total of 300,000 families. This cell of the society of these people need the state and respect them, and of course to support them because they support very much our national economy. Under this light it is inconceivable that there adducts in these enterprises elementary try not to stay unemployed. Not allow this small class of  tobacconists not give the possibility of supporting the Municipal Authority. We believe that our Municipal Authority is a strong supporter of all those citizens who work in these small firms  tobacconists.
The lights of these enterprises are the lights of civilization without these lights will have more crime and more violence and that many times we have recourse to these lights for a help or a phone call.
The Pavilions – Tabacco Shops in Greece is the Ambassador of the cities where every tourist draws visitor information wants when they want it.
The corner of this souvenir has supported and supports today unsalaried our national economy.
Dear friends and girlfriends, you know that we are working 18-24 hours a day with all our family members trying to have a little sustainable course to minimally cover our operating costs.
We inform you as O.P.K.E. that the market situation today is as follows:
Electricity: 15% of the consumer society of the territory indicates defaulted and recourse to settlement arrangements, debts not consumers nationwide is 17%. If one adds the hike and then the situation is quite tragic.
OTE: Rose delays by 20-30%.
DEYAMV: There are major delays in payment throughout the country.
Natural gas (CPC): 7% of consumers unable to pay recently.
State fees: In major delays in all municipalities.
business rentals: Delays and countless arrangements, we for our industry to ask a reduction of all rents.
Dishonored checks: Increase by 50%.

TIRESIAS: 1,070,000 companies from official data TIRESIAS SA
Banking System: Great indebtedness of entrepreneurs and of course to give money to our members need doubtful guarantees to banks or property or guarantors.
VAT .: A decisive role was played by the increase in the consumer products and that affected both our sector and all small businesses and consumers.
Fuel: The new increases in fuel have greatly complicate the movements of all of us.
Termination: Another tax burden on our already heavily indebted members. We proposed the final discharge of our industry.
Special contribution: poll taxes and hike.
Insurance contribution: Approximately 890,000 SMEs are insolvent and have saved their insurance rights.
a) Department: operate in an uncontrolled time and workers underemployment and create large unfair competition. Under this light can small and micro enterprises have a sustainable path;
b) Multinational companies: large cartels, like oil, milk, tobacco, food, etc. they have imposed their own pace.
c) illegal trading: scourge for all small and medium business is the illegal trading, because uncontrolled selling goods without the relevant documents and of course the intended permissions.
d) Vending machines: Tax ataxia (without proof).
e) Nonexistent business planning.
f) Financial incentives were not given.
g) Market Liquidity: small.

ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT OF
O.E.V.E.M. COSTAS & O.P.K.E Karl.
Madam President,
We welcome the great effort to become the first Greek Festival Pavilion starting point for a sustainable way of our industry. The major problems concerning our site, need unity, solidarity, uniting and comprehensive efforts of all our to our industry has a viable path to the future. It’s true that our industry on the altar of the sacrifices we have lost about 7,000 thousand colleagues throughout the country, and of course there needs to be a protective shield to stop this bleeding wound. They must finally understand both the Treasury and the Ministries that there can be no economic planning without the involvement of the social partners in our industry. Can not the main product is the sale of manufactured tobacco from the stands – Tabacco Shops all taxes of the value of each cigarette pack to be at 83.70% and that in the end neither economic ministry plans to makes diligent, and of course there is serious loss of state revenues from the terrifying surge of smuggling of over 20% of our country’s annual turnover. In this overall effort of the state and lost jobs are lost daily of our colleagues. The history of our industry is intertwined with the financial support and the regeneration of the Greek State in which the 1986 statute of the late Trikoupi put 5 minutes tax on cigarette paper, since taxes were intensified and supported and support until now our national economy.
For this reason, dear colleagues and friends need to be re-coiling and enable all stakeholders of both our partners and the state. Our proposal can not and must not be other than that this industry will continue to have a sustainable path. Only so a single voice will be able to overcome the major problems plaguing our industry. Only then will we have high hopes in continuation.
Dear colleagues and friends of the Greek Pavilion tobacconist in Greece is lifestyle tradition who live and breathe with the local community. The Pavilion – tobacconist in Greece is the ambassador of the cities where every tourist draws visitor information wants when they want it. Not the lights of the stands are the lights of civilization without these lights we will have more crime and more violence and sometimes we have to call upon these lights for a help or a phone call. The Pavilion – tobacconist in Greece is an unpaid tax collector state that the contribution has provided substantial financial breathing. So one can understand that the National Symbol of Greek society the Greek Pavilion should have the support of the government, and not be a beggar. Throughout the journey of 100 years this corner of souvenir sought in one or another way to relief let his own contribution. Today the industry that triggered more than 100 000 families like invalids and war victims – Colleagues Tenants – Agents station operator – tobacco industry – all employees this web of thousands of families aspire to maintain and stay in the industry and not to extinction and unemployment.
Dear colleagues, friends and players in the region need together to support the great effort made this great industry. It can not and must not allow to be lost the hope to all those people and have no perspective on sustainability. Not allowed to work in an industry with so much history and tradition and of course we can not cover our elementary operating liabilities not permitted to work every day while mortgaging our assets and our dignity. We support and welcome the great efforts undertaken by the Tobacconists Crete Association to create the first Greek Festival Pavilion. We should be mentioned that the 2 m of Greek pavilion fit enough culture with a long history and much culture. We hope and competent bodies but also our partners will respect the effort and hard work of all those people in our industry. Again good luck.

To conclude this greeting with a piece of my own poetry.

I stand

Hard road and anguish
a lamp burning in the corner
Shades the night with magic
ERC expects society.

I stand
wooden body
with a human heart
a small cozy corner.

Give light to this city
and seeks friends all
information to give them
and in the night to save them.

Dressed in lights to look forward
forever I will wait
passer and if you stand
close to me will find yourself.

I stand
and do not speak
the wooden body
there hurting.

Saturday, the 3rd & Sunday, November 4, 2012 Hotel DIVANI CARAVEL

Colleagues,

The big problems we face force us to ask for the support of our tertiary trade union (ESEE) because we as SMEs in the region face daily difficulties and financial whirlpool. Briefly mention the following:
In the periphery of the market mobility is very low and the liquidity in our business is lacking, our vast our operating liabilities leading daily continuously padlocks, and the hike and bills are rising, financing from the banking system is lacking and understand colleagues daily accept numerous payment orders. By this plea with our request to the County Court Volos to get written about how many reports the seizure deposited during the year 2011-2012. This will be for us the basis for research in order to make direct interventions and actions to prevent the destruction and annihilation of our business.
Under the light of the above parameters we understand that it is a matter of time to be further downsizing, and the drive our children to emigrate for a better future leading to a depopulation in our cities.
By this plea dear Colleagues need to take final decisions on direct interventions in order not to live under the nightmare of poverty.
The falyrismos a company in the province dear colleagues are simultaneously xeftila because in closed societies become directly daktylodeiktoumenos would leave unpaid obligations to partners, suppliers, employees, the invoices of the utilities in the public, to banks, to your friendly environment and natural mortgages and will lose all your assets painstakingly built.

GLOBALIZATION
Colleagues,
In the global community, everything indicates that there will be ongoing turbulence for existence and operation of modular outlets. Our confederation must compete and make immediate interventions to safeguard the values ​​and morals of all media
But how there will be voices of resistance in each country where the global workshops consolidate companies in which there is polymorphic workplaces in order to captivate the consumer society and in the end will flatten and destroy essentially traditional industries.
• permitted exist and department stores have branches scattered across the country and pay an insurance coverage only for the head office?
• Allow them the opportunity underemployment of workers is given?
• You may no sales below cost?
• Controlled their respective documents like any other business?
• Is it right to have uncontrollable working hours than other media

Colleagues,
Some time ago we started a big campaign on the subject of illegal trade. Noticed all that, at least launched a clearance attempt from this scourge. But we need to continue to intensify our efforts to build a consumer awareness in this direction. We had taken over as OEVEM to manufacture printed material of this effort, however, is not correct possible because the economics of our Federation did not arrive. We ask you to give us the financial capacity to do so. Instead we tried to set up groups to divide the black material we had our consumers to be finally consumer awareness. Also constructed 10 for posters and of course today we have not received money from either the Chamber promised us. We need to make an effort on our own for a monthly slide show you have to push the region to begin the annual or six-month campaign. Both the court order we have tabled and the lawsuit against illegal vendors Greeks and foreigners have brought activating effects of the competent authorities. We requested the County Court Volos to grant us in writing the number of the seizure reports submitted on the financial year 2011 – 2012 you mention the seizure submitted 870 reports against our colleagues. Under this thinking and a lot of pressure we had and we had a big protest march to the Greek Parliament from October 13 until October 23, 2012 with initiative of OEVEM and in cooperation with all stakeholders and our fellow citizens, creating the Movement Citizens hope. The response of both the operators and society in our journey was very long it seems that the word hope disturbed the family peace since government with which we arrived after 11 days we were greeted with jeering riot. Colleagues can not go we must begin a scaling constant struggle but not with the old forms until today we did and new forms of struggle that have efficacy if we do not do is mathematically certain to perish all the small and microenterprise . We end the month of November we will present both the Supreme Court and European Courts and the lawsuit against those responsible for flagrant violation of human rights, has no political system is the right to suicide for countless debts have. A few months ago the Greek people gave them the right to manage our destiny if you really can not respond to this purpose then the only good thing they can do is to rid us of their presence. We now have to inform two political leaders and we talked to all parliamentarians of parties, I believe that the coming week we will complete the update process of political leaders. I also mention that until this moment have been prepared us around 3,500,000 members and stakeholders as we expect support from European Unions and the Diaspora. The meeting to be held in Brussels at the end of the month we will have counterparts in our European Trade Union activist effort.
We ask you to take the initiatives ESEE to become citizens hope moves in all regions.
Colleagues
We are not political transformation or want to become, but we can not tolerate this situation, not to pay 43 years contributions to OAEE and once we insolvency last year not to have health care, not to have deprived ug always as parents in order to study our children and the result of our effort to do so, as unemployment and emigration may not notice our colleagues to seek their daily diet in the bins of garbage.

The INITIATIVE STEERING COMMITTEE OF ENTREPRENEURS

Survival for a better tomorrow

TO MEDIA

Seeking survival of a better tomorrow

Dear Friends & Friends,

For some time all SMEs receive suffocating pressure to be shrinking business in a coordinated effort extermination of all professions. In this effort played an important role and exerted government policies, the privileges granted them and with the financial support given to them to enforce the rules of globalization with polymorphic polymorphic sites stores. So friends and girlfriends, launched and coordinated the killing fields.
We all know that SMEs this time fired from many fronts. Right now all of us are facing tremendous inability to pay, and of course we can not meet operating expenses of everyday life. We must all understand that today under economic conditions which are unable to have the basic goods to our business and it is not possible to suffer no other charge as another increase in tariffs for public utilities, etc. Freeze on increases in utilities tariffs charged to the operating cost of our business.
Dear friends and girlfriends, margins patience of all our colleagues have been exhausted, the only thing that interests them is try to meet current obligations in order to live their families and of course not to stay unemployed. But the great difficulty of liquidity and poor mobility causes our colleagues to reduce both their markets and of course being forced to sell their products at low profit margin in order to be competitive with supermarkets and illegal trade. We indicatively mention the great weakness of payments faced by all our businesses:
INSURANCE: To give a favorable adjustment circular in 80 months with no down payment to finally be able to settle their debts SMEs IKA to allow our colleagues to get insurance clearance.
OAU .: 60% of our colleagues have saved their insurance rights, and having to be circular debt adjustment in 80 monthly installments with no down payment, or otherwise added 15% of the monthly insurance contribution is around EUR 65, to finally enable all SMEs to settle their contributions and recover their insurance rights.

TAX: No other tax burden on already indebted colleagues to completion, poll tax, property tax, VAT increase etc. because this time businesses are at breaking point.
Electricity: 10% of the consumer society of the territory indicates defaulted and recourse to settlement arrangements, debts not consumers nationwide is 17%.
OTE: Rose delays by 20 to 30% as shown by the data of the newspaper “Eleftherotypia”.
DEYAMV: There are major delays in payment of our colleagues across the country.
Natural gas (CPC): 7% of consumers unable to pay recently.
State fees: In major delays in all municipalities.
business rentals: In long delays and countless arrangements. A key issue that call the Ministry of Finance in cooperation with the Ministry of Regional Development and Competitiveness propose renegotiating rents and freeze on evictions. We recommend directly to create a committee of experts with the participation of Chambers for legislative intervention.
Dishonored checks: Explosion dishonored checks by 45%.
TIRESIAS SA .: 1,000,000 companies from official data TIRESIAS SA Finally we need to enable dual opportunity many companies have pay off and held hostage until today.
Banking System: Great indebtedness of entrepreneurs cease lending, continuous discomfort from collection agencies to entrepreneurs and consumers, and of course to provide new loan to our colleagues need doubtful guarantees to banks or property or guarantors.
Suspension of Public auctions: We recommend to have at least one year moratorium by IKA and WHO to provide liquidity to the market because of the crisis, and to make favorable adjustments to relieve SMEs.
VAT .: A decisive role was played by the continuous increases in VAT in consumer products essentially affected all sectors and all small businesses and consumers.

A) Reduction of VAT on all consumer products in order to have development course perspective. Today all households and businesses are in red. B) Partial payment of VAT more and more business because the crisis deep they can not pay the tax in installments forced into current difficult period not even submit periodic statements to cover current daily needs for the smooth running of their business this situation leads many companies face problems of legitimacy, but also deprives a considerable part of the planned financial revenues. the immediate restoration of partial payment of the VAT option therefore necessary. This measure will stimulate and enhance the liquidity of companies providing opportunity for better planning.
C) Payment of VAT within one month of invoice.
Transactions on VAT between entrepreneurs and the public bodies on credit (invoices). In these cases, the seller is obliged to pay the VAT due within two to Tax despite the fact that our colleagues did not collect VAT and sometimes collected after several months to years when it comes to dealing with the public. Therefore judge necessary legislation according to which in case of a transaction on credit, the buyer will be required to pay at least how VAT vendor within the month of invoicing.
D) owes the government to our business. It is known the major problem faced by SMEs with lack of liquidity worrying is that healthy businesses are affected and threatened by the general lack of liquidity in the market. This is why the problem requires immediate attention. Initially proposing the direct offsetting debts for VAT with Tax Returns. Also suggest a kind of factoring without recourse to the business requirements of the public. business crowd have been deadlocked since the public is slow to repay. Through this financial product business requirements of the public can be granted to the credit institution without recourse, which undertakes to repay the requirement of the business.
Fuel: The continuous increases in fuel have greatly complicate the movements of all of us and of course dramatically limited the attendance of domestic tourism.
a) Department: operate in an uncontrolled time employ workers part time and of course generate large unfair competition to all companies with sales below cost.
b) Multinational companies: large cartels such as oil, milk, tobacco, food, etc. they have imposed their own pace and managed the fortunes of both SMEs and consumers,
c) illegal trading: scourge for all small and medium entrepreneurs, and of course no control to stop this scourge, which in the end creates great evasion to the detriment of the state and in the end to pay legitimate businesses that are called daily to support our national economy, with more and more measures. This great injustice fragmenting all small and micro enterprises. For this, the phenomenon in central urban tissue business to have a host with a padlock. To provide smooth operation of the market need to be rules to stop the illegal trading unaccountable, that exists both in our city and the rest of the Territory. For us there needs to be a protective shield those undertakings affected, as these companies have viable prospects and operating tomorrow.
d) Vending machines: Tax ataxia (without proof). No effective control.
e) Nonexistent business planning. Consistently fellow undertaken efforts in sectors already yperkerasmenoi.
f) Financial incentives: the state needs to understand that instead of constantly putting financial burdens to integrate all the small and very small businesses in the NSRF programs and other European programs in order to alleviate the already heavily indebted market.
g) Market Liquidity: Missing liquidity due to the very small market mobility when the consumer society is red, when each household tries to cover only the daily needs when department stores create unfair competition by selling goods below cost that is can there elementary liquid market, when every day the little money each company are given for operational needs.

Dear Friends,

Everyday we all witnessing a severe problem, which is the constant break-ins, this is because increasingly vulnerable social groups are at the stage of despair. But how to protect ourselves and will shield businesses? How many times have we become victims of prospective thieves? All of us a few years ago dear friends we were in the manufacturing process and because of the great industrialization suffered by our country was forced to lead in order to survive in these small businesses. This cell of the society of these people need the state and respect them, and of course to support them because they support very much our national economy. One of the biggest problems facing our businesses are continuing padlocks, that this in itself creates negative sentiment both consumers and all small and medium size entrepreneurs. You need the state to enable sustainability in all these operations, it is necessary to support all these companies with financial incentives and not by repeated charges, to give finally motivated young people who want to take care of business in order not sustains them as unemployed.
Support programs for all companies with financial incentives both for small micro-enterprises from 0-49 workers. Our Federation is trying to convince his fellow actors and to give pulse timer of life, to stop unemployment and the vision of development and prospects for all SMEs in our region.

Sincerely

The General. Secretary O.E.V.E.M.
