This French decree makes Amendment No. 80 of 4 June 2025 to the National Collective Bargaining Agreement for Waste Activities (signed 11 May 2000) mandatory for all employers and employees covered by that agreement. The amendment concerns the coverage and handling of disability (invalidité). The decree extends the provisions with a specific legal reservation: the preamble and Article 2 must be interpreted in accordance with Article L. 2253-1 of the Labour Code, meaning that branch-level agreements prevail over company agreements unless the company agreement provides at least equivalent guarantees. The extension takes effect from the date of publication of the decree and applies for the remaining duration of the amendment.
