This notice starts the process to make a March 24, 2026 agreement on exceptional caregiver leave mandatory across France’s import-export and international trade sector. If extended, the agreement would apply to all employers and employees covered by that national collective agreement, not only to members of the signing organizations. Interested parties have 15 days to send comments to the Labour Ministry. Representative employer organizations at the agreement level have one month to file a written, reasoned objection. Employers in the sector should monitor the extension process and prepare for possible HR policy updates on caregiver leave.
