Background
The CNE was created by the French government as part of the "Emergency Employment Plan" of June 2005 to fight France's high level of unemployment.
This plan aimed to create jobs by bringing flexibility to small companies and business, as many employers blame their inability to hire on the rigid French labour law. One of the most frequent claim from employers and employers union (MEDEF) has been lack of flexibility to lay-off.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
