The first two decrees implementing the pension reform were published in the Official Journal on Sunday, including the one gradually raising the legal age from 62 to 64, the most controversial measure in the text.
The decrees published set out the methods of application of articles 10, 11 and 17 of the amending social security financing law for 2023 “relating, on the one hand, to the gradual increase in the age of opening of rights retirement from 62 to 64 years old and the acceleration of the rate of increase in the insurance period required for the full rate, and, on the other hand, early departures, in particular with regard to long and under disability,” the government said in a statement.
In particular, the provisions relating to “active categories” of the public service (firefighters, police officers, air traffic controllers, etc.) are specified, who can always leave before the age of 64 but whose legal age of departure will also be raised, and on departures anticipated for people who started working early and contributed the required 43 years.
For long careers, the system “now provides for four age limits for entry into the system (16 years, 18 years, 20 years and 21 years), allowing early retirement according to four limits for the opening of pension rights (respectively 58 years, 60 years, 62 years and 63 years), “said the press release.
These two decrees are the first of 31 implementing texts which must be published before September 1 so that the reform can be implemented on time.
“From July, there will be pensions which will be calculated according to the new rules”, indicated on May 31 the director general of the National old-age insurance fund (Cnav), Renaud Villard.
The publication of these decrees also comes two days before the 14th day of action against the pension reform on Tuesday, at the call of the inter-union, for whom the decline in the legal age to 64 is the main red line. .
The National Assembly must also examine on June 8 a bill repealing the reform, on the initiative of the independent group Liot. The text was emptied of its substance in committee, but will give rise to new passes of arms during its examination in session.
