The Government prepares the law of finance 2011

The reform was placed under the seal of fairness. Are officials the first threatened

I not was appointed State Secretary in charge of the public service to berate the officials. I have a deep respect for officers. There is no question of demonize them or make scapegoats. We will do a comprehensive review of the situation taking into account the actual specifics of their plan. The calculation of their pension is based on the last 6 months of wages against the best 25 years in the private sector. But premiums - on average 20 of their pay - are excluded. Need to compare the reference time, but also the plates. Not forget and do not fall into the caricatured comparisons with the private sector.

Does increase the rates of assessment of civil servants

This is true, but this question must not evacuate other topics of the debate. The wage rate is 7.85 among public servants against 10.55 in the private sector. Some trade unions consider that the rate of assessment of civil servants can be expanded, but that the wage policy must compensate for such a development. 1 Point fee increase yield EUR 600 million per year. For its part, the State grant is $ 35 billion per year. In any case, the employer contribution rate is already very high: it is 62,14 for civil servants against 16.6 per cent in private!

The Government has indicated that it would take measurements of age (raising the legal age starting and/or the duration of contribution) for employees of the private and the public. What about special diets

These plans have been modified recently, in 2008. We will discuss with the social partners.

The reform would it not be accepted if parliamentarians agreed, too, to question their plan

It cannot be fair and equitable reform and begin to exclude a priori any particular regime. I think that parliamentarians understand the need to evolve their pension plan.

In the public service, the mothers of three children or more are entitled to early retirement after 15 years of service. A just reform means return on this advantage

This is a marked difference between the private and the public. This system was implemented in 1924 to promote a policy of birth then. Today, the topic is political, but also legal: Brussels considers this discriminatory feature.

The CFDT insists on the inequalities suffered by "the polypensionnés". Will you correct

These are various but frequent, situations that could further develop. We must take account of the difficulties that this creates and make the system simpler and more readable.

The Government prepares the law of finance 2011. After you have removed 100,000 posts over three years, left sufficient room for manoeuvre to implement the replacement of a staff member on two

That things are clear: public employment, which includes hospitals and local communities, has increased in recent years in France. To curb the trend, we will therefore continue to apply strictly the principle of the replacement of a staff member on two year next to the State civil service. This corresponds, roughly, to 34,000 departures not replaced. The rule shall also apply very strictly to the operators of the State (weather France, museums, etc.). For the first time in 2011, out of universities, this should represent more than 2,000 positions not replaced. Departments can more downsizing by transferring them to their operators. The rule must prevail at all. I mentioned this point in almost all of my parliamentary reports in recent years.

What about local communities

With regard to the territorial communities, the observation is now known: 330,000 agents recruited between 2000 and 2007 (after neutralization of the transfers). At the time where the State made considerable efforts to control its workforce, it is therefore impossible to ignore. However, the constitutional principle of free administration of communities excludes the State decides instead of local elected officials. But working groups are currently working on these issues. It must be that we find the martingale to modify, or even reverse the trend.

The discontinuance of a function on two has identified savings EUR 950 million last year. Officers were to retrieve half in purchasing power. This was the case

We even went much beyond the 50!

When you run the three-year wage bargaining 2011-2013

A first meeting will be held in June, a second in July. They will allow us to examine all the factors determining the overall evolution of remuneration, based on a forecast of inflation. I remember that in 2009 the average gain of the purchasing power of civil servants is 3.4. What do agents Guarantees on their standard of living and a remuneration in line with the quality of their work. This is precisely what we give with the Gipa, the development of the premium functions and results and the launch next year of collective engagement. We will also discuss very shortly with the unions, as expected, the redesign of residence and the family supplement of treatment expenses.

The Assembly has just adopted Act of renovation of the social dialogue in public service. You must set the threshold of representativeness of unions of civil servants by Decree. Where would you put the bar

I will be cautious on this point. You touch here to balance internal and historical trade unions to be not too upset. The objective of the text is not to eliminate any particular organization, but to strengthen responsible social dialogue.
