28 Gennaio 2002
In December 2001, the government-appointed Pensions Stewardship Council (COR)
issued its first report on the future of French pensions, providing a

recommending a particular option, which it sees as the responsibility of
politicians, the COR identifies a number of principles on which to base
future decisions.

Agreement signed on early retirement in banking
27 Febbraio 2001
In January 2001, a sectoral agreement on "an early retirement scheme for the
banking industry" was signed by the AFB employers' association and the
banking federations of the CGT-FO and CFTC trade union confederations. This
five-year agreement will, through a system of new recruitment to compensate
for early retirement, help to mitigate age imbalances in the banking
workforce and address demands from workers. The agreement is based on the
government's CATS early retirement scheme, which was introduced in February
2000.
