The independent Liot group in the Assembly affirmed on Tuesday that it had obtained from the government the “definitive waiver” of a drain on the Agirc-Arcco pension plan and the increase in the number of beneficiaries of the fuel check, consequently announcing its abstention on the finance bill, called end of management.
The government is trying to avoid recourse to 49.3 on the end of management text (which must be examined on Wednesday in the Assembly, Editor’s note). (He) told us that he was ready to listen to some of our requests depending on our attitude on this text, explained MP Charles de Courson during the weekly press briefing in Liot (Liberts, independents, overseas and territories ).
We will abstain on this text since the government has given us satisfaction on two major demands: the first is the definitive renunciation of all levies on Agirc-Arcco. The second thing was to improve the fuel check system for employees, he continued.
Questioned by AFP, Bercy did not respond to these assertions on Tuesday.
A battle has been underway for several weeks between the government and the social partners, managers of the Agirc-Arcco supplementary pension scheme, the latter mainly refusing to allow the government to draw on its coffers to balance the pension system.
Under pressure from parliamentarians, the government entered into new negotiations between the social partners, announcing that it would waive this levy at this stage via an amendment to the Social Security Financing Bill (PLFSS). While leaving the threat of returning there.

Concerning the fuel check, the government has, according to Charles de Courson, agreed to expand the number of beneficiaries by around 1.3 or 1.4 million, at a cost of 160/165 million euros.
In addition, MP Michel Castellani specified that the government had agreed to increase by 40 million euros the subsidy allocated to Corsica for territorial continuity to ensure connections between the island and the continent.
Questioned during the LR press briefing, the president of the group Olivier Marleix for his part affirmed that his group would not a priori oppose the finance bill for the end of government management, ruling out the prospect of a 49.3 on this text.
