AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decree makes mandatory the provisions of the 3 November 2025 agreement that creates a welfare benefit (prévoyance) scheme for managerial (cadres) employees falling under articles 2.1 and 2.2 of the 17 November 2017 ANI, within the national collective bargaining agreement for the meat salting, wholesale charcuterie and canned meat sector (IDCC 1586). The extension applies to all employers and employees covered by the 29 March 1972 industry-wide agreement. Several reservations and exclusions are imposed to comply with French labour and social security law: the preamble sentence promoting advantageous insurance access for all company sizes is excluded because it violates Article L.912-1 of the Social Security Code on insurer recommendation; the last paragraph of Article 9 concerning technical equilibrium of insurance contracts is excluded as it cannot be extended; Article 7.2 and the third paragraph of Article 12.1 are extended only subject to the hierarchy of norms (L.2253-1) and proper collective bargaining rules requiring all representative unions be invited to negotiations. The effects and sanctions of the agreement become binding from the date of publication of this decree.
