Draft Decree Revising the 15 September 1988 Decree on Civil Retirement Pensions
- Revises the civil retirement pension regime set by the decree of 15 September 1988.
- Defines the pension as a monthly, personal and lifetime allowance paid by the State to qualifying civil servants and public employees.
- Arrears are prescribed after two full years without a regular claim.
- A DRAFT circulated by the MEF, not a promulgated decree.
Article 1 defines the civil retirement pension as a monthly allowance paid by the State to civil servants and public employees meeting the decree's conditions; Article 2 makes it personal and for life. Later articles cover the mechanics, including prescription of arrears after two full years without a regular claim, and rectifying notices published in Le Moniteur. Public pensions are a standing fiscal-risk item, so the governing instrument matters for any assessment of the wage bill and its long-run liabilities. This is the DRAFT text as circulated by the MEF, not a promulgated decree, and should not be cited as one.
