AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This French decree, published on 4 April 2026, makes mandatory for all employers and employees covered by the 1972 national collective agreement for the salting, wholesale charcuterie and meat canning industry the provisions of the 12 September 2025 agreement on the prevention and fight against sexist and sexual violence at work. The extension is granted with two explicit reservations: Article 3.1.1.5 is extended only insofar as it complies with Article L. 2315-36 of the Labour Code, which makes the creation of a Health, Safety and Working Conditions Committee mandatory (not optional) in companies and establishments with at least 300 employees. Additionally, the third paragraph of Article 3.2.2 is explicitly excluded from the extension because it conflicts with Article L. 4121-3 1° of the Labour Code regarding the powers of the Social and Economic Committee, particularly its mandatory consultation on the single document for risk assessment and its updates. The measures take effect from the date of publication for the remaining term of the agreement.
