It is one of many puzzles from the Government for the reform of pensions, and not least. The Executive indicated that the reform would involve employees in the private and the public service pension plan, but it also will address the special schemes such as SNCF, RATP or even to seamen The answers to this question remain very unclear at present. "These schemes have been changed recently, in 2008", pointed Georges Tron, the Secretary of State for public service, in "Les echos", last week. The issue of the special schemes "will be dealt with" in consultation with the trade unions, says friends of Eric Woerth, Minister of labour, but the "conditions of integration" of this issue in the reform are not decided. And no specific meeting on this topic is planned.
The special la spéciaux des durées de entrée des régimes spéciaux entrée en vigueur en juillet entry times des regimes spéciaux came into force in July of une progressive increase in the public service (see opposite). It introduces and haircuts and of storm surges, index the amount of pensions for inflation... In short, a reconciliation with the rules in force in other regimes. But the mode of calculating the pension, it is the same as in the public service: accounts for the last six months of salary (against the best 25 years in the private sector). And liquidation rate is 75 (compared to 50). Will these rules change On this point, nothing is said.

Avoid the blockade of the country
If the Executive is if prudent, it is that it must maneuver between two pitfalls. On the one hand, the memory of abortive 1995 reform is in all minds. Not issue to cause a total blockade of the country full of SNCF and the RATP unions. On the other, the electorate of right grows a convergence of public service and special regimes that regimes employees of the private sector.
"There is no question that anyone could partly make efforts", said in the entourage of Jean-François Copé, leader of the UMP group in the National Assembly. "There is a strong demand of the population for the convergence of rules between the different systems." People would not understand that it does not act in this direction. "As much as they feel that the reform of the special regimes of 2008 was not a real reform", explains Denis Jacquat, the rapporteur of the Working Group on pensions for the UMP deputies. "I can't imagine that this reform savings some employees and not others", abounds with Senator Dominique Leclerc, one of the major destroyers of the special schemes. Michel Heinrich, the MP behind the working plans of the UMP group convergence group, is more measured. "I do not think that it will return to 2008 reform, believes." The problem is that many people have not realized that it had taken place, because it has not resulted in a massive challenge.
This reform is often criticized on the right, because it was accompanied by important counterparties, salary including. As a result, savings could be set aside in the medium term, according to parliamentary reports recent ("Les Echos" from November 9).
