#TRST2614987VExtension of Inland Waterway Freight Transport Agreements on Driver Qualification Certification
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This notice starts the process to make two April 2026 collective agreements mandatory across the inland waterway freight transport sector in France. The agreements concern the Union Driver Qualification Certificate, known as CQC, and its treatment as a priority certification. Employers, employees, unions, and sector organizations can submit comments within 15 days. Representative employer organizations have one month to object. If extended, the agreements would apply to all employers and employees covered by the sector’s national collective agreement, not only the signatories.
