Summary

Mr. Karim Ben Cheikh reminds the Minister of Labor, Full Employment and Integration that he undertook, during the parliamentary debate on the law on pensions, in the Senate, to set up a parliamentary working group to study the question of pensions for French people established outside France. To his knowledge, this parliamentary working group has not met. He draws the attention of the Minister to the fact that he It has not been specified whether this parliamentary working group will also include, as it would like, the deputies of French people living abroad. Furthermore, he recommends that the Assembly of French People Abroad can be fully associated with the work of this parliamentary working group. The working group, proposed by the Minister, was to enable the Ministry of Labor, Full Employment and Integration to work with the parliamentarians representing French people established outside France so that the numerous problems encountered by these compatriots in asserting their pension rights are taken into account by the ministry. He suggests that one of the objectives of this working group is for the ministry to specify what measures could be considered so that the issue of multiple pensioners and in particular those who have had international careers and fragmented careers with less than 25 years of contributions in France benefit from a system for calculating their pension taking into account a proration aimed at eliminating the unfavorable aspects of the current method by neutralizing the years of very low contributions (student salaries at the start of their career) in the calculation of the average annual income serving as a basis for calculating the retirement pension. He reminds the Minister of complexity of this problem and the very strong social consequences on the French people concerned, particularly for all compatriots who have spent part of their career abroad without benefiting from an attachment of their employment contract to French law. He draws his attention to the regulatory nature of the definition of the calculation method which makes it impossible for parliamentarians to propose legislative adjustments. on this issue and therefore its full responsibility, political and regulatory, in this regard. The MP finally recalls that article 45 of the law of January 20, 2014 on pensions provided for the submission by the Government of a report to Parliament detailing the conditions of application of existing bilateral international conventions on retirement. This report was intended in particular to assess the consequences of the implementation of these conventions for French people entitled to foreign systems and no longer residing in the State concerned and was also to examine the difficulties linked to receiving a retirement pension abroad. Due before December 31, 2014 and despite in-depth research, the MP notes that this report has not been submitted to Parliament. He wants to know his position on the subject.
