Question 11049 — French people abroad

Summary

Ms. Amélia Lakrafi draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the situation of French nationals residing in France and having carried out professional activity in Gabon, with regard to their right to retirement. There are indeed many people who struggle to obtain payment of their pension from the Gabon Social Security Fund even though they meet all the required conditions and have provided all supporting documents to the competent administration. This problem, which is not new and tends to be resolved, still concerns several hundred people today. In the absence of payment of their pension, those concerned find themselves in extremely difficult financial situations, which plunge them into precariousness and prevent them, for some, from meeting their current expenses and their tax obligations. Requisitions of bailiffs, freezing of bank accounts, unpaid rent arrears and threats of eviction from their accommodation: this is the daily life experienced by these retirees who are unable to win their case. Meticulous work of identifying and supporting people affected by this problem is currently being carried out by our consular and diplomatic posts in Gabon. Associations also lead on the ground effective actions to help these policyholders assert their rights. In this context, she would like to be aware of the proactive measures that could be taken at the initiative of the Government and in conjunction with the Gabonese authorities to allow even closer support for these people who feel abused.
