12. What impact will the new configuration have?
Negotiations and adaptation are take place between the partners in order to set the new values and
new process. No important decision concerning purchasing will occur during this period, everything is
going to be very slow.
Fincantieri has promised not to change much and still does not hold the majority for now.
The French states still hold 33% of the shares and will keep the VETO right if needed forbidding
Fincantieri to eliminate a competitor or delocalize the production in Italy or China.

27. Oil & Gas News
Rio de Janeiro - Petrobras and Total announce today that they have finalized a decisive
milestone in the realization of their Strategic Alliance, signed in March 2017, with the
completion of the following transactions:
• Transfer from Petrobras to Total of 35% of the rights, as well as the operatorship, of the Lapa field in
Block BM-S-9A in the Santos Basin pre-salt, alongside Shell (30%), Repsol-Sinopec (25%) and Petrobras
(10%). The Lapa field was put in production in December 2016, via the 100,000 barrel per day capacity
Cidade de Caraguatatuba FPSO.
• Transfer from Petrobras to Total of 22.5% of the rights of the Iara area, which comprises the Sururu,
Berbigão and Oeste de Atapu fields in Block BM-S-11A in the Santos Basin pre-salt, operated by
Petrobras (42.5%) alongside Shell (25%) and Petrogal (10%). Production in Iara is expected to start in
2018 through the 150,000 barrel per day capacity P-68 FPSO in Berbigão-Sururu fields, which will be
followed by a second FPSO in 2019 in the Atapu field.
• The consideration for the above transactions amounts to US$1.95 billion, including closing
adjustments. This amount does not include US$ 400 million that can be triggered by Petrobras to carry
a part of its investment share in the Iara development fields and contingent payments. All conditions
preceding the transfers were fulfilled, in particular the granting of operation and installation licenses by
the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) in order for Total to
become the operator of the Lapa field.
28. Posted workers and tax issues…
Things you need to know
1.2.2018 Property of Belon Trade Consulting 28
29. Posting workers
Respecting the French employment law means
You must have a legal representative
You must produce an important list of documents showing that your workers are well
treated and well covered socially speaking.
The yard do not automatically require all the papers, only the minimum
All this takes time and you must prepare the paper work at least 1 or 2 weeks prior
arrival
What is new
A1 is nowadays compulsory to have, this can take months to get, apply straight away for
all the workers you suspect might go abroad
Medical certificate of aptitude is very highly recommended, meaning that the workers
must go to their doctors before they are coming to France to get this certificate.
29Property of Belon Trade Consulting 29
30. Long term presence in France
Tax authorities
There is a European agreement in EU , though you still have to declare your
activity in each country where you have production or service
In France, you can work about 12 months + 12 months without registering in the
French system
After that you must have a permanent establishment, this will generate extra
costs :
Registration costs
Preventive tax to the company on every worker’s salary
Activity tax on the profit generated in France
