JOUY-EN-JOSAS, Yvelines - A carbon tax arbitration meeting will be held on Friday in the presence of Nicolas Sarkozy, said Christine Lagarde.
"We are currently thinking about different kinds of compensation (for households, editor's note), compensation for which the arbitration has not yet been rendered. The meeting with the President of the Republic is scheduled for tomorrow, so you will know more about it tomorrow" , said the Minister of the Economy.
"But it is first of all: constant compulsory levies, a smarter tax, less imbecile than the business tax and a redistribution to the large categories such as households and businesses with a very careful eye for those households which are the most fragile" , she added during the Medef summer school in Jouy-en-Josas.
