This decree makes mandatory the provisions of Amendment No. 10 dated 18 April 2025 to Amendment No. 18 of 16 January 2013 concerning the welfare and provident regime. It applies to all employers and employees covered by the national collective bargaining agreement for confectionery, chocolate, and biscuit retailers and retailer-manufacturers originally dated 1 January 1984. The extension is granted with explicit reservations to ensure compliance with French Labour Code articles L. 2261-7 et seq., Social Security Code article L. 911-1, and the principle of specialty of insurers under the Insurance Code, Mutual Insurance Code, and Social Security Code. These reservations prevent automatic reduction of complementary guarantees if social security benefits decrease; any adjustment requires a formal revision agreement.
