Deputies and senators arrived on Monday 1er August, at a agreement in joint committee (CMP) on the first part of measures in favor of purchasing power. The text will be validated one last time on Wednesday afternoon by the National Assembly and then by the Senate.
4% increase in retirement pensions and several allowances with retroactive effect from 1er July, deconjugalization of the allowance for disabled adults (AAH) and continuation of the “Macron bonus” that can be paid by employers: this bill “emergency” in favor of purchasing power includes 20 billion euros of expenditure.

Seven deputies and seven senators meeting in CMP worked Monday at the end of the day about the measures on which they did not agree after the first reading of the bill. Thus, for the “Macron bonus”, the parliamentarians returned to the version resulting from the Assembly, which provides for a perpetuation throughout the private sector – and not only in companies with less than 50 employees – of this bonus exempt from social security contributions. .
CMP Wednesday for the second part of measures
On the question of overtime, in the sense wanted by Les Républicains (LR), companies with twenty to two hundred and fifty employees will be able to see their employer contributions reduced by 50 centimes per overtime hour worked. The Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, said he was in favor of it.
The parliamentarians have also kept the version of the Senate on the possibility of terminating a subscription electronically. Thus the obligation for the professional to set up a “cancel button” will only apply if it already offers an online subscription option. In a compromise between the two chambers, finally, the duration of the exceptional measures for the supply of gas to France was limited to four years.
Green MP Sandrine Rousseau, alternate member of the CMP, criticized the deal on Twitter : “Well LREM and LR negotiated everything upstream of the joint joint committee. So there will be bonuses at the start of the school year and no salary increases, no more exemptions from social security contributions, American shale gas, coal. So. Nice summer “. In the Assembly, the elected LR and the National Rally had voted for the bill, unlike the left.
The Minister responsible for relations with Parliament, Franck Riester, said to himself ” happy ” of the agreement reached. “The government and the Parliament are together at the rendezvous”, he exclaims again on Twitter. The Senate, dominated by the right, has also been examining since Monday afternoon at first reading the amended draft budget for 2022, which includes the second part of measures in favor of purchasing power. A CMP will meet on Wednesday evening on this more thorny text, the final adoption of which is hoped for by Sunday.
