Question 35635 — French people abroad

Summary

Mr. Meyer Habib reminds Mr. the Secretary of State to the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, responsible for tourism, French people living abroad and the French-speaking world, that, in the countries of residence of non-resident retirees where the administration is considered reliable, the local authorities are in principle the only ones competent to authorize life certificates. However, local authorities are often reluctant, or even refuse, to target life certificates for which the form sent by the GIP Retirement Union is not translated into the language of the country. In the 8th constituency of French people living abroad, this is particularly the case in Greece and Israel. Although consular posts have been able to overcome the refusal of certain local authorities until now, this solution weighs heavily on services and is not viable in the long term. The current situation regularly generates transmission delays, suspensions of pension payments and anxiety among those administered. In this context, the MP emphasizes that he is contacted each year by hundreds of retirees, who find themselves in inextricable situations, and must write case by case, fund by fund. As early as November 2019, he raised this issue with the Retirement Union, to no avail to date. This is why he asks her to seize the direction of French people abroad and the consular administration so that it can have the life certificate forms of the Retirement Union translated - in liaison with the social security department - into Greek and Hebrew.
