ATTAC aims to promote the supremacy of social and cultural values, which implies supremacy of
politics over economics, and asserts that there are activities for the common good that cannot be
reduced to private interests and a purely commercial approach. This analysis justifies the
importance of stepping up action to raise awareness among the public and law-makers, in order to
expose and bring under control the excesses of the financial world.

Faced with the emergence of the informatio n society, back in 1991, stakeholders in the

technology issues for the planning and economic development of their territory. Furthermore, local
businesses in the Castre-Mazamet basin, the second industrial pole of the Southern France/Pyrenees
region, have an increasingly pressing need for communication media. This is explained, in
particular, by their essentially industrial business which thus involves considerable nationa l and
international trade, hampered by the poor road links to the territory and a genuine lack of operators
and infrastructures to cater for the needs of businesses and communities within the basin.

SUPPORT TO THE INFORMAL SECTOR: It is an acknowledged fact that there are in Africa men
and women determined to take charge of their own lives and forge themselves a future in order to
emerge from the socio-economic crisis afflicting the continent. The most committed of them
manage, at best, to create small and medium- sized enterprises or industries, which is already a
major feat, given the difficult context in which they are operating. The greatest obstacle for these
apprentice businessmen and women is to get through the startup phase and make their project
sustainable. COMMITMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: Sustainable development
is a watchword that is increasingly taking centre stage. Sustainable development is a clear priority
objective with high mobilization potential.
