From now on, the LFSS will be accompanied by a report describing – among other things – the “Perspectives” financial support for unemployment insurance (administered by Unédic) and compulsory supplementary pension funds, including Agirc-Arrco. The document in question will indicate in particular whether these devices are showing a loss or not, for the current year and the following year, while mentioning the “New measures envisaged”. In addition, the bills approving the accounts of the “Sécu” will be accompanied by appendices presenting “Statement of income, expenditure and balance” of these same devices, “For the last closed financial year”. ” It is a question of providing more precise information to the national representation, without modifying the parity governance of these regimes ”, explains Mr. Mesnier.
