Thanks for the hints, I should have read the FAQ first since my problem 
is clearly addressed (here for example 
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#diary-sexp-in-org-files). In SO 
this guy also have the same problem 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2464598/org-mode-schedule-weekly-event-for-a-period

I will try to slightly modify the ical2org.awk file from Eric Fraga 
http://orgmode.org/worg/code/awk/ical2org.awk to automatically converts 
ical file into org and to manage this repeating task. I have to say that 
it is a bit frustrating that the syntax <YYYY-MM-DD +1w>--<YYYY-MM-DD> 
is not working because it is pretty simple and quite elegant.

Cheers,
Xavier
