And necessary, because some sites, announced as early as September, not were still not launched formally. Nicolas Sarkozy brings today leaders of the five unions most representative employees (CGT, CFDT, FO, CFTC, CGC) and the three organizations management (Medef, CGPME, UPA) to discuss the agenda of the 2008 social protection reforms in the Elysee Palace. It looks loaded and the timing set, since two important pieces of legislation will be submitted to Parliament by the summer: on the second stage of the reform of pensions on health insurance, which will include the creation of regional health agencies (ARS), the hospital reform and the improvement of access to care (better distribution of physicians, overruns of fees limitation). In September, the Bill for the 2009 social security financing will incorporate it elements reflecting the new balance, welcomed by the head of State, between what is social security and what is a mutual or insurance (read below), as well as, probably, the financial aspects of the implementation of a fifth risk of welfare for the dependency.
Define a method
Like the December meeting, which had been on the agenda of reforms on the labour market, it is today, according to the Elysee, to specify the calendar and define the method of consultation, knowing that the social partners will not seized directly from the reforms ("Les Echos" of yesterday) and much other actors will be involved: departments, health professionals, complementary organizations, etc. The approach of the municipal elections, Nicolas Sarkozy is not to be lead on the field of increased taxation (VAT, CSG), despite the growing needs related to the Granddad boom, the increase in the cost of the drugs or the 25 increase of the minimum old age on the whole of the legislature, "that we will begin as early as 2008", announced yesterday, the Prime Minister before eager UMP deputies. An increase of 5 referred to by some, would cost EUR 360 million.
The Government established the redeployment of the surpluses of Unedic to pension plans, as François Fillon was committed in 2003. That means that the next negotiation on unemployment compensation removes any room for manoeuvre. The subject may be discussed today with the social partners. Similarly, the Executive looking surpluses to the branch family, and speaks more to grant family allowances as soon as the first child. As the implementation of the right against the child care will involve a massive investment in facilities.
Complicated equations
In addition to the redeployments, Government of course act on unsubstantiated health insurance expenditure (in particular the level of requirements). Margins of manoeuvre are real, and the motivation of the Executive also appears. The essential reform of the system of long term conditions (cancer, diabetes, etc.) is politically more sensitive announcement. The equation is still more complicated retirement, says the President of the CNAV, Danièle Karniewicz, claiming new financings (read below). Nicolas Sarkozy wants to boost the employment of senior citizens (rollup employment-retirement, incentives for companies, etc.) to raising the age of business interruption, and, as such, should increase the pressure on the Medef. But there is little savings in the short term measures, whether it is raising the legal age of retirement more than 60 years, as requested by Laurence Parisot, or freeze pension. What the Government has already excluded.
