Question 7452 — treaties and conventions

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta questions the Minister of Health and Prevention on the ratification of the convention of the International Commission on Civil Status (CIEC). In fact, pension funds ask their pensioners residing abroad to periodically provide them with a life certificate. This certificate is a necessary condition for receiving the retirement pension from the French general system. However, many French people in Spain have enormous difficulties in obtaining the signature of their French life certificate by the Spanish authorities; a tacit agreement allows the transmission of a Spanish multilingual life certificate stapled to the French life certificate to overcome these difficulties. The CIEC convention relating to the issuance of a life certificate, which France signed in Paris on September 10, 1998, would make it possible to recognize life certificates in France. issued by Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Greece, Portugal and Turkey. The automatic exchange of civil status registers linked to deaths between France and Spain will reduce the number of life certificates requested by pension insurance, but although it is effective, many retirees still have to have the life certificate signed at the Civil Registry, also a Ratification of the said Convention would allow French people living abroad to have a more peaceful retirement in Spain. Also, he would like to know if France intends to soon ratify the convention of the International Commission on Civil Status relating to the issuance of a life certificate.
