It is "a capital visit" announced Nicolas Sarkozy yesterday before Congress, for which "should that be put on the table: the retirement age, the period of assessment and the arduous nature". "Decisions" will be taken "in the mid-2010" and not returned to the campaign of 2012, as referred it to François Fillon. In the meantime, the head of State asked the social partners to make "proposals."
Tight schedule
The schedule looks tight. The arbitration will be rendered only a few months after the report of the Board of pensions, which is to be published end of January. This will include new projections on balance long-term pension plans to take into account the crisis economic ("Les Echos" of yesterday). The Council will also have to quantify the impact of the different possible tracks of reform. It is on this basis that the Government and the social partners will work.
The President of the Republic is not entered in the details of the upcoming reform, but the settings he mentioned allow all similarly to sketch the contours: it will be focused on an increase in the duration to work to delay the effective age of retirement. The statements by Brice Hortefeux, Eric Woerth and François Fillon, last week, suggested that the questioning of the legal age, set at 60 years since 1982, would be at the centre of the reform. But Nicolas Sarkozy has left the door open to a new bearing of the assessment period, the lever in the Balladur and Fillon reforms. "We do not want to close the debate, but the idea is to eliminate the structural deficit of pensions", indicates in the Elysee Palace.
"Applications of the Medef.
"We are rather satisfied that he has no mention of the age, but also the duration of contribution", reacts Jean-Louis Malys, leading the negotiations on pensions for the CFDT. François Chérèque Union opposed the retreat of the legal age, which, according to him, would penalise employees who began working youth. Trade unionists also welcome taking account of the arduous nature of the work, without which it cannot reform pensions in a fair manner. "It's the least of things," judge Bernard Devy (FO).
The negotiations with the unions announce nevertheless difficult, both the subject matter is sensitive. For Eric Aubin (CGT), the upcoming reform "is the implementation of the requests of the Medef", who wants the postponement of the age. And Nicolas Sarkozy "has not raised the problem of pension resources". "". The President has not cited two other parameters which can be to balance pension plans, the amount of pensions and of the contributions, observes Bernard Devy. However these are two fundamental points: with the degradation of the level of pensions, may slip into individual savings.
"The idea of changing the conditions necessary to qualify for a pension at full rate is based, admits Danièle Karniewicz (GSC). But it is inseparable from the issue of employment of senior citizens. "The President of the old-age insurance also highlights the problem of the level of pensions. "Cannot be significant to the French efforts if it offers them a real readability on the level of their future retirement", she said.
