Question 15573 — pensions: agricultural regime

Summary

Mrs. Josiane Corneloup draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the stagnation of agricultural pensions which are much lower than those received by all French people. People without other income are therefore well below the poverty line. These pensions have not been increased for 5 years while at the same time, they suffered an 8.3% increase in the CSG. Is also announced the end of their indexation to the rate of inflation, which will have an impact on the purchasing power of retirees. Indeed, while the inflation envisaged in 2019-2020 will be 1.6 to 1.7%, the increase in pensions will only be 0.3%. Farmers are people who have worked their entire lives, 70 to 100 hours per week, in difficult conditions, without RTT or paid leave. It is regrettable that the proposal Chassaigne-Bello law adopted by the National Assembly, which established a minimum pension for farmers equal to 85% of the minimum wage, or 987 euros, was blocked by the Government before it was voted on by the Senate, on the pretext that it would be examined as part of the major pension reform. For all these reasons, she asks him that the pension reform project scheduled for 2020 can study the establishment of a guaranteed minimum agricultural pension and the taking into account of the best 25 years when calculating its amount, like what the general regime applies. She also asks him to remedy the current calculation of the pension bonus linked to children which, still not being flat-rate and taxed, penalizes low pensions and favors the most generous ones.
