François Bayrou preferred to underline the “Advanced” Negotiations from CONCLAVE ON RETIREMENTSrather than disagreements “Soluble” and presented as secondary. And among consensus subjects, one should particularly hold the attention of assets. “All participants (in the conclave, editor’s note) have agreed not to question the age conditions set by the 2023 reform”launched the Prime Minister at a press conference held this Thursday, June 26 in Matignon to present the work of the social partners. In other words: the gradual increase in the retirement age up to 64 is no longer questioned. It is not surprising for employers, represented as part of the conclave by the MEDEF and the CPME. A little more on the side of the three unions participating in negotiations, the CFDT, the CFTC and the CFE-CGC.
Responsible, in the same way as employers’ organizations, of “Guarantee the future of our distribution pension system, restoring its balance by 2030”as François Bayrou recalled, the trade union organizations had to resolve to retreat on this topic. “We made a lot of compromise because we were aware that we had to obtain improvements in the Borne law”explained Tuesday to Capital Cyril Chabanier, the president of the French Confederation of Christian Workers (CFTC).
The age of the full automatic rate lowered to 66.5 years
And improvements have indeed obtained by the unions, in particular concerning the Calculation of mothers’ retirement in the 23 or 24 best years According to their number of children against 25 currently, the best consideration of maternity under the long career system or the reintegration of the wearing of heavy loads, exposure to vibrations and difficult postures in the Professional prevention account (C2P, ex-painful account).
But no return to a legal retirement age at 62 or 63 is therefore planned in the recovery of the conclave. As a reminder, the pension reform of 2023 gradually increases this terminal of one quarter every year, since September 1, 2023. Currently set at 62 years and 9 months for the generation born in 1963, it will increase to 63 years for that born in 1964 to reach 64 years for the 1968 and the following generations. If the conclave therefore does not question this extension, it still acts an advance for workers in the form of a decrease from 67 to 66.5 years of the age of cancellation of the discountor the age from which the full retirement rate is automatically granted. Note that all of these measures will be presented in Parliament, within the framework of the Social Security financing bill (PLFSS) 2026, and must be voted by elected officials before a probable entry into force on January 1, 2026.
