This French decree, published on 2 April 2026, makes the provisions of Amendment No. 30 dated 5 November 2025 to the National Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Five Branches of Diverse Food Industries (dated 21 March 2012) mandatory for all employers and employees covered by that agreement. The amendment specifically concerns the welfare/protection regime (régime de prévoyance), which typically includes death benefits, disability coverage, survivor pensions, and complementary health insurance. The extension takes effect from the date of publication in the Official Journal and applies for the remaining duration of the amendment. This renders the welfare benefits binding across the entire sector rather than only on signatory parties.
