Carrefour Friday categorically denied press reports suggesting the replacement of its CEO Lars Olofsson, but according to a source familiar with the matter, George Plassat, Vivarte boss, has been recently approached and declined the proposal.

Georges Plassat, CEO of owner signs Andre Minelli or Kookai, was approached by the shareholders of Carrefour and declined the offer this month, said the source told Reuters.

“It has been proposed and he said ‘no’. It was during November,” said the source.

“There is still no candidate to succeed Lars Olofsson.”

The spokesman for Blue Capital, the investment vehicle of the fund Colony Capital and Groupe Arnault (the family holding the CEO of LVMH Bernard Arnault) and Carrefour’s largest shareholder, declined to comment on this information.

Le Figaro wrote in its Friday edition that George Plassat was approached to direct the number two global retailer Carrefour.

“It is courted for months by the main shareholders of Carrefour,” the newspaper said.

“He refused the post of CEO before the summer because it was hard to find a successor to lead Vivarte (…) More and more interested in a challenge to his position, George Plassat has not closed yet the door to negotiations. On the contrary, “continued the newspaper.

The major shareholders of Carrefour that Groupe Arnault and Colony are said to date provide support for the strategy of the distributor.

“Finally some good news?”

“Faced with rumors successive change of any officer of Carrefour, the Board of Directors of the Company expressly disclaims any information on this release,” Carrefour said in a statement.

“The position of Blue Capital is perfectly identical to that of the Board as expressed in the statement,” he later said his spokesman told Reuters.

Carrefour is shaken by a series of strategic mistakes, a waltz leaders unprecedented and no less than five profit warnings in the space of one year.

However, even if the pressure is on Lars Olofsson, waited on the achievement of 2011, and if Carrefour is considering replacing it, the group takes the time to find the perfect candidate profile.

The prospect of a change at the head of Carrefour is viewed favorably by experts in the financial community, who are calling for a French specialist in the distribution.

“It would be good news. (Georges Plassat) is well appreciated by the market as experienced leader, able to recover business in very difficult situations,” considered a trader based in Paris, commenting on the article in Le Figaro before the opening of the Exchange.

“Finally a good news,” headlined on the other hand in a note an analyst at CM-CIC Securities.

At 17:00, the Carrefour share, virtually unchanged for much of the session, taking 1.05% to 17.27 euros, up with the market (1.06% for the CAC 40). The title gives 44% since the beginning of the year.

Carrefour last month launched its fifth year after a warning by a further deterioration in sales of its hypermarkets in France and the disappointing figures in Asia, raising serious doubts about its ability to recover its performance.

When cooking avoid harassment and disturbance of neighbors

The BBQ season is in full swing on countless balconies, gardens and even thousands in many places in the city parks sizzle again sausages and steaks on the grill. Recent surveys show that grilling is one of the favorite pastimes of the Germans. According to a recent study by market research institute Allensbach more than two thirds of Germans enjoy the hours in a happy community.

But again and again returns to the contrary to the pleasure – the consequences are disputes between neighbors, especially due to disturbance and too heavy smoke and odor nuisance. Many disputes could be avoided if the neighbors consideration for each other or at best equal to invite each other to barbecues.

Mutual respect

Nevertheless, it has the jurisdiction to do over again, with lawsuits. Basically, as long as neighbors are not bothered, everyone must do in his garden as he pleases. There is no uniform national legal system to do’s and don’ts around the barbecue season in your own garden is not there.

The German Tenants’ Association, however, has summarized some examples of legal rulings:

* “Barbecue is in the summer months and must be tolerated by normal neighbors. A ban can only be considered if there is significant damage from smoke, soot, or heat, “it says, for example, in a ruling by the Landgericht Munich (LG München I 15 S 22735/03).

* Regarding the question may be how often are grilled, the judge disagreed. Twice a month, 17 to 22 clock in the back of the garden, said the LG Aachen (6 S 2 / 02). Four times a year, to 24 Clock, decided against the Higher Regional Court of Oldenburg (13 U 53/02). As a compromise, the AG suggests Bonn (6 C 545/96) before, from April to September at most grill once a month, with the neighbors should be informed in advance.

* Different is the situation, if the lease prohibits grilling on the balcony or in the garden: “If this is agreed in the lease specifically, this prohibition effectively, and for the tenants binding”, the tenants’ association underscores with a view to a decision of the District Court of food (10 S 438/01).

* A disturbance of neighbors – regardless of the smell and smoke of the grill – to assess separately. Again, the case differs greatly. As a rule of thumb, rest periods between 13.00 und 15.00 clock 22.00 and between 6.00 und clock should be respected.
