The Wednesday session of the Board of Retirement Guidance (NRC) was less tense than the previous one, which saw employers and unions clash. It was yet to adopt the report with the forecast, unveiled yesterday, financing needs astounding: 72 to 115 billion "gap" year in 2050. These data were endorsed without major debate. The MEDEF has put away his previous criticism of the unrealistic projections and refocused his speech: these figures indicate the need to act, even if they return to full employment, "commented essentially the employers' organization.

The final text was hardly changed, notably to highlight more explicitly the effects of the crisis. She leads by 20 to 25 billion euros shortfall in 2020 for the whole pension system, which is half the funding needed for this date, according to the CFDT.While Jean-Claude Mailly disputes the projections themselves: "Nobody can make serious predictions in 2050. It's Nostradamus, there is more than the economy. "The Secretary-General FP – which is not in itself the ROC – found on Radio Classique that these forecasts would" serve to government propaganda " to impose painful measures. For its part, Solidarity did not dispute the data but interprets it this way: "The gloom is not appropriate, says the union. There is no fundamental problem, not the new situation created by the crisis. "

Two voices well insulated. Other reactions are all in the same direction: the need to act quickly. For the president of the NRC, Raphael Hadas-Lebel, these projections introduce "something new" compared to the previous (2007): "The challenge is immediate."Without effective measures, "the younger generations will have more confidence in the system," puts it on hold.

"We need not to short-term measures, timely, symbolic, but structural measures" hammered Francois Fillon. Otherwise, warned the prime minister, "the system would collapse under the weight of deficits". Neither the left nor the majority of unions have challenged this requirement. But all have reached a conclusion in which the government refuses: he will raise taxes to finance pensions. "The NRC shows that if we play only on length of service, private sector employees must work up to 72 years, said Jean-Christophe Le Duigou CGT union representative within the institution saving account payday loan. Everyone knows it's impossible.Eric Woerth I put the challenge to find the solution without increasing resources. "

Runs Preferred

For the CFDT, "income from property and financial investments will be further used '. Member of the ROC under the CFE-CGC (union frankly admits the need to work later) and president of the Caisse Nationale d'Assurance-old Daniele Karniewicz concurs: "This report shows that it will anyway additional resources to spend more points of GDP in retirement. Both the job. "

In a long gallery in the world, Martine Aubry, refused to yield "to an ultimatum," accusing the executive of "seeking to dramatize" the situation with figures as disturbing. The first secretary of the PS drives the point home: "Employees and retirees can not be the only underlying all efforts.Reforming pensions calls to introduce new resources without delay. "The first secretary of the Socialist Party – which says in passing that the Socialists defend" the maintenance of legal age to 60 years ", following statements far more ambiguous – believes that this is the "blind spot" of previous reforms: "Not the right has taken the trouble to make very high incomes, products of financial capital or annuity to the imperative of solidarity."

What does the management? The response of "Mr. Retirement MEDEF members of the NRC, is precise:" Among the resources, there are contributions on wages. We are strongly opposed to any increase in rates, warns Jean-Fran?ois Pilliard. This would be a contradiction. This would weaken the competitiveness of businesses and ultimately increase unemployment, thus aggravating the social deficits.Otherwise, the MEDEF is very clear: he did not rule on the taxation of individuals. "If the postponement of legal age and longer duration of assessment remain the preferred tracks of the MEDEF, Jean-Fran?ois Pilliard recognizes that "politically and socially, it comes to the idea of imposing person to work up to 72 years consistently.
