Article L2261-34 of the French Labour Code

Until such time as the representativeness of the professional employers’ organisations is measured following the merger of areas covered by collective bargaining agreements pronounced in application of I of article L. 2261-32 or the conclusion of a collective agreement combining the scope of several pre-existing agreements, the professional employers’ organisations that are representative in the scope of at least one branch pre-existing the merger or combination are entitled to negotiate.

The same rule applies to employee trade union organisations.

The rates mentioned in the last paragraph of article L. 2261-19 and in article L. 2232-6 are assessed at the level of the branch resulting from the merger or grouping.
