He was the subject of a debate without a vote

Charles Milhaud plays extensions. The President of the Executive Board of the Group Caisse d'Epargne, who celebrates his 65th birthday on February 20, 2008, was threatened by the age limit applies to the directors of the mutual group. It should finally be allowed to remain at the controls up to sixty-eight years. An amendment to the statutes is indeed about to be adopted, which will allow him to retain his position until the end of its mandate, in December 2009. At a minimum. Because nothing prevents him from then seek a new mandate. "Then it will be the group to decide", said the Chairman of Board of a Caisse d'Epargne regional.

"A few months after the creation of Natixis, our Bank of large common with the Banques Populaires, we wanted to give a strong sign to the market, explains the"Echos"Jacques Mouton, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the National Fund boxes of d'Epargne (CNCE).". It is one of the artisans of this great project that we wish to entrust its implementation.

Quietly tested internally for several weeks ("Les Echos" of November 13), the reform project submitted to the Presidents of Executive Board and Board of orientation and monitoring 29 Caisses d'Epargne in the Federal Council on December 12 (COS).

He was the subject of a debate without a vote. It will formally intervene on January 30, 2007, at an extraordinary general meeting of the CNCE. These are the Presidents of Executive Board of the funds that will then have to decide. The National Federation of Caisses d'Epargne, the body responsible for representing in fine the interests of the 3 million members of the mutual insurance group, had been consulted at the end of November.

Report for all

Because the extent will not be the only President of the CNCE. It will extend to all members of the Executive Board of the National Fund and beyond, each Caisse d'Epargne. "Squirrels" preferred the solution of a general delay in the age limit applicable to social agents rather than judged too custom to a rider allowing explicitly Charles Milhaud to complete its mandate. The Supervisory Board of the CNCE thus decided unanimously, on 14 December, to amend not only the status of the CNCE, but also the status types for regional Caisses d'Epargne.

"It is a mistake to generalize it to the whole group," said the Chairman of Board of a Caisse d'Epargne, who feared that some benefit to stay more reason. "It is a possibility that we open, not a duty," said his side Jacques Mouton, who adds that it will allow to manage with more flexibility the demographic shock which prepares the mutual Group a dozen patterns of Caisse d'Epargne on 29 will have more than 60 years at the expiry of their mandate in July, 2008 ("Les Echos" from June 5).

The postponement of the age limit of retirement will go hand in hand with a reinforcement of the rules of incompatibility between the functions of social agent and member of COS. Specifically, the directors of the CNCE, or those of a given Caisse d'Epargne will become members of the COS of this Fund for a period of three years after the end of their mandate. Similarly, the CNCE agents will not enter its supervisory board of CNCE for three years.

Impossible therefore for Charles Milhaud to finish his career in the group taking the head of the Supervisory Board, as some him in had lent the intention in the fall.
