LONG TITLE / TITRE LONG

LOI DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE RELATIVE À L'ÉTABLISSEMENT DE L'AUTORITÉ FRANÇAISE DE LA CAPACITÉ PRODUCTIVE, DU CORPS DES ROBOTS CIVIQUES DE FRANCE, DE L'AVOIR PRODUCTIF PERSONNEL, ET À LA SÉCURITÉ ÉNERGÉTIQUE NATIONALE

AN ACT OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC concerning the establishment of the French Productive Capacity Authority (Autorité française de la capacité productive, "AFCP") under the operational coordination of the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC) and Bpifrance, modelled on the French public-financial- institution tradition since 1816; the establishment of the Civic Robot Corps of France (Corps des Robots Civiques de France, "CRCF") as a public-good labour body including an EPR2 Construction Skills Coordination programme for the 2026-2040 build-out at the Penly, Gravelines, and Bugey sites; the conferral of a Personal Productive Asset entitlement (Avoir productif personnel) on every person ordinarily resident in the Republic, identified by NIR, distributed through the CNAM, the CAF, the service-public.fr portal, France Connect, and France Identité; eighteen Regional Delivery Units corresponding to the thirteen métropolitaines and five régions d'outre-mer; ENERGY SECURITY elevated as a co-equal Title coordinating with EDF (fully nationalised 2023), the EPR2 six-reactor programme, the PPE 3 (Programmation Pluriannuelle de l'Énergie, third edition, published 13 February 2026), RTE (Réseau de Transport d'Électricité) under the SDDR strategic plan February 2025, and the CRE energy regulator; coordination with the PNRR (Plan National de Relance et de Résilience, EUR 40.3 billion under NextGenerationEU) and France Relance (EUR 100 billion national recovery plan); coordination with the SCOP-SCIC cooperative network under the Loi Hamon of 31 July 2014; explicit declination to establish any new French personal income tax (IR), corporate income tax (IS), value added tax (TVA), contribution sociale généralisée (CSG), excise duty (accise), or other French tax of any kind for the funding of the Authority; explicit preservation of the Banque de France, the Sécurité Sociale, EDF, RTE, the CRE, the CDC, Bpifrance, FranceAgriMer, and all other existing French institutions; consistency with the Constitution de la Cinquième République (1958), particularly Article 1, and with the Préambule de la Constitution de 1946 carried forward by reference; consistency with the philosophical heritage of the Conseil National de la Résistance Programme of 15 March 1944, the Sécurité Sociale Ordonnance of 4 October 1945, the Accords de Matignon of 7-8 June 1936, and the Republican triple anchor of Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité; and provision for connected purposes.

LEGISLATIVE ROUTING NOTE

This Proposition de loi is structured for introduction in the Assemblée nationale under the standard French parliamentary routing (Article 39 of the Constitution). Following adoption by the Assemblée nationale, the text proceeds to the Sénat for deliberation in accordance with Article 45 (navette parlementaire) until adoption in identical terms by both chambers or resolution by Commission mixte paritaire (CMP). On final adoption, the text is subject to constitutional review by the Conseil constitutionnel before promulgation by the President of the Republic and publication in the Journal officiel de la République française (Article 10).

The institutional offices named in this Act are cited by office, not by personal incumbent, to permit durable application across the 2024-2025 French political crisis Prime Minister rotation and any subsequent rotations.

FINDINGS

The Parlement de la République française, having considered the operational record of the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations since 1816, of EDF since 1946, of the Sécurité Sociale since 1945, of the French civil nuclear programme since the 1950s, of Bpifrance since 2013, and of the French cooperative tradition through SCOP and SCIC under the Loi Hamon of 31 July 2014, finds:

(1) THE FRENCH INSTITUTIONAL CHASSIS IS LOAD-BEARING. The

    Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, founded by Louis
    XVIII in 1816 and now operating under public-financial-
    institution legal regime with Commission de surveillance
    oversight, is the French sovereign-anchored chartering
    chassis. Bpifrance, created 2013 as the joint venture of
    CDC and EPIC Bpifrance Group, is the operational
    investment arm. EDF, fully nationalised 2023 with 100
    percent state ownership and CEO Luc Rémont, is the
    French energy-sector chassis and operates the largest
    civil nuclear fleet in Europe (56 reactors, approximately
    65 percent of French electricity 2025). RTE is the
    French TSO and operates under the SDDR strategic-
    development plan February 2025. No new institutions are
    required. No new tax instruments are required. This Act
    coordinates and extends what already exists.

(2) UNIVERSAL FOUNDATIONAL CITATION (A) — THE REPLICATION

    THRESHOLD ARRIVED Q4 2025. Per Universal Foundational
    Citation (A), the global humanoid-robotics ecosystem
    crossed the sub-USD-30,000 inflection between Q4 2025
    and Q2 2026 (Unitree R1 ~USD 5,900; Unitree G1 ~USD
    13,500-17,500; Apptronik Apollo USD 5B valuation;
    Agility Digit USD 20,000-25,000 per-year RaaS).
    Foundation-model robotic intelligence (NVIDIA GR00T,
    Physical Intelligence pi-0, Boston Dynamics Atlas,
    Tesla Optimus, Figure 02) is concurrently operational.
    The energy companion (Commonwealth Fusion Systems ARC
    plant 400 MW Virginia grid-connection application April
    2026, SPARC demo 2027, Helion 50 MW Microsoft PPA 2028)
    confirms the parallel arrival of post-replication-
    threshold energy capacity. France is positioned to
    operate at the post-replication-threshold scale because
    of (a) the largest EU civil nuclear fleet, (b) the EPR2
    six-reactor programme, (c) the PPE 3 trajectory toward
    70 percent decarbonised energy by 2035, and (d) the
    CDC-Bpifrance public-financial-institution chassis at
    sovereign-coordination scale. This Act activates that
    positioning operationally.

(3) UNIVERSAL FOUNDATIONAL CITATION (B) — THE ARITHMETIC

    APPLIES TO FRANCE. Per Universal Foundational Citation
    (B), the U.S. arithmetic establishes that 293,000
    manufacturing facilities at 77 percent utilization
    yield 19.5-29.3x productive-capacity overcapacity. The
    French parallel: France has approximately 280,000
    industrial establishments per INSEE; the French
    industrial productive capacity is substantial; the
    constraint on French productive-capacity activation is
    not capacity but coordination. This Act is the
    coordination Act.

(4) UNIVERSAL FOUNDATIONAL CITATION (C) — THE GRADIENT

    DAMAGES FRENCH POPULATION HEALTH. Per Universal
    Foundational Citation (C), the Marmot quartet
    establishes that hierarchy itself kills across four
    research programmes, six decades, and three species.
    The gap is the gradient. This Act and its companion
    AFAARB Act remove the basic-needs stratification at
    the layer at which the Marmot quartet finds most
    aggressive damage.

(5) UNIVERSAL FOUNDATIONAL CITATION (D) — FRENCH ADULT

    COMPETENCY OUTCOMES ARE IN THE DECLINING-OECD COHORT.
    Per Universal Foundational Citation (D), PIAAC 2023
    documents declining or stagnating adult-skills outcomes
    across 19 of 26 OECD countries. France is in the
    declining cohort. The Civic Robot Corps of France
    established under Title III provides the structured
    skills-development response.

(6) UNIVERSAL FOUNDATIONAL CITATION (E) — THE FRENCH

    HISTORICAL RECORD ALREADY RESOLVES THE QUESTION. Per
    Universal Foundational Citation (E), at-cost civic
    provisioning has 158 years of U.S. commissary
    evidence, 400 years of Roman annona civica operation,
    and the Tabula Alimentaria Veleia bronze documentary
    record. On French ground: the Conseil National de la
    Résistance Programme of 15 March 1944, the Sécurité
    Sociale Ordonnance of 4 October 1945, the Accords de
    Matignon of 7-8 June 1936, and the Préambule de la
    Constitution de 1946. The mechanism is operationally
    validated on French ground in French institutions in
    French statutory law.

(7) UNIVERSAL FOUNDATIONAL CITATION (F) — THE

    AUTOMATION-DISPLACEMENT SHIFT IS UNDER WAY. Per
    Universal Foundational Citation (F), Aurora Innovation
    driverless freight is operational on the Dallas-Houston
    corridor 2024-2025; retail-sector employment is
    contracting under e-commerce restructuring across OECD
    economies; the EDF EPR2 six-reactor construction
    workforce demand is structural across 2026-2040; the
    French industrial workforce is shifting under the
    combined pressure. This Act does not eliminate jobs.
    The replication-threshold transition, the EPR2 build-
    out, and the OECD-wide retail restructuring create the
    employment-pattern shift. This Act establishes the
    productive-capacity floor that catches French workers
    when those shifts occur.

(8) UNIVERSAL FOUNDATIONAL CITATION (G) — THE AUTHORITY IS

    NOT STATE OWNERSHIP OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION. Per
    Universal Foundational Citation (G), the Authority
    contracts with French private engineering and
    construction firms, French private specialty
    manufacturers, French private logistics operators, and
    French private agricultural producers at production
    cost plus a reasonable distribution allowance. EDF is
    a pre-existing 100-percent-state-owned operator under
    separate statutory authority and is recognised by this
    Act as the French energy-sector chassis; this Act does
    not alter EDF's existing posture. French private
    market activity continues without restriction
    consistent with the Loi Hamon and the Republican
    economic-freedom tradition.

(9) THE PREAMBULE DE 1946 ANCHORS THE AUTHORITY. The

    Préambule de la Constitution de 1946, carried forward
    by the 1958 Constitution and applied by the Conseil
    constitutionnel, declares: "Tout bien, toute
    entreprise, dont l'exploitation a ou acquiert les
    caractères d'un service public national ou d'un
    monopole de fait, doit devenir la propriété de la
    collectivité." This French constitutional commitment
    explicitly contemplates collective ownership of
    national-public-service operators and de facto
    monopolies. EDF's full nationalisation 2023 is the
    contemporary application of this clause. This Act
    coordinates with EDF on this constitutional basis.

(10) THE CROIZAT FORMULATION ANCHORS THE OPERATIONAL

     DOCTRINE. Ambroise Croizat, communist Minister of
     Labour and Social Security in 1944-1945, formulated:
     "Ne parlez plus jamais de charité. Parlez de droits
     sociaux." This French formulation is the direct
     translation of the Augustus annona civica framing per
     Universal Foundational Citation (E), applied
     operationally on French ground in 1945. This Act
     extends the Croizat formulation to the productive-
     capacity and energy-security layers in 2026.

(11) THE FRONT POPULAIRE PRINCIPLE ANCHORS THE STRUCTURAL

     FLOOR. The Accords de Matignon of 7-8 June 1936 under
     the Front Populaire government of Léon Blum
     established that the French Republican tradition
     guarantees a structural floor of basic protections to
     French wage-earners and households as institutional
     commitment rather than charitable dispensation. This
     Act extends the Matignon principle to the productive-
     capacity and energy-security layers.

(12) THE COOPERATIVE AND MUTUALIST TRADITION IS LOAD-

     BEARING. 4,140 SCOP and SCIC operate in France 2024.
     SCOP (62,523 jobs end-2025) and SCIC (17,548 jobs
     end-2025) are the operational cooperative-enterprise
     vehicles under the Loi Hamon of 31 July 2014. Crédit
     Mutuel, Crédit Agricole, MAIF, and Macif are the
     mutualist pillars. The Authority coordinates with this
     cooperative network for procurement, for regional
     delivery, and for the Civic Robot Corps regional
     coordination.

(13) THE EPR2 SIX-REACTOR PROGRAMME IS THE LOAD-BEARING

     ENERGY-CAPACITY BUILD-OUT. EDF presented an EPR2 cost
     estimate of EUR 72.8 billion at 2020 values to its
     Board on 18 December 2025 for six reactors at three
     sites (Penly, Gravelines, Bugey, two per site). DINN
     audit of the forecast is scheduled Q1 2026. The
     programme aligns with PPE 3 targets of 60 percent
     decarbonised energy by 2030 and 70 percent by 2035.
     The build-out workforce demand across 2026-2040
     creates a structural skills-coordination opportunity
     that the Civic Robot Corps of France EPR2
     Construction Skills Coordination programme under
     Title III addresses operationally.

(14) THE PPE 3 IS THE COORDINATING NATIONAL ENERGY PLAN.

     The PPE 3, published 13 February 2026, covers the
     2025-2035 horizon with headline target of 60 percent
     decarbonised energy by 2030 and 70 percent by 2035.
     The Authority coordinates with the PPE 3 as the live
     national energy plan, not the superseded PPE 2.

(15) RTE IS THE LOAD-BEARING FRENCH TSO. RTE published

     the SDDR (Strategic Development Plan for the French
     Transmission Grid) in February 2025 and submitted it
     to CRE on 1 April 2025; RTE publishes the "Futurs
     énergétiques 2050" scenarios. The Authority
     coordinates with RTE for grid-capacity planning under
     the EPR2 build-out and under the PPE 3 trajectory.

ARTICLE 9 — MISSION

The mission of the CRCF is to:

(a) Coordinate French public-good labour deployment in

    French industry, French energy infrastructure (notably
    the EPR2 construction programme), French agriculture,
    French regional economic development, and French
    public services;

(b) Provide structured skills development to French

    workers under the Universal Foundational Citation (D)
    competency-collapse response framework, particularly
    for workers transitioning under the Universal
    Foundational Citation (F) automation-displacement
    pressure;

(c) Coordinate the regional skills-pipeline programme

    with the Conseils régionaux, the Régions Académiques,

    Construction Skills Coordination Programme.

(2) The Programme coordinates the French construction-

    workforce demand profile for the EPR2 six-reactor
    programme at Penly, Gravelines, and Bugey across the
    2026-2040 build-out horizon, including:

    (a) Civil engineering, structural concrete, steel
        fabrication, and welding skills required at the
        three EPR2 sites;
    (b) Specialty nuclear-construction skills required
        under French nuclear-regulatory framework (ASNR /
        Autorité de sûreté nucléaire et de radioprotection,
        which absorbed the prior ASN in 2025);
    (c) French private construction firms in the EPR2
        supply chain (Bouygues, Eiffage, Vinci, Spie
        batignolles, and others), through standard French
        public-procurement instruments;
    (d) Coordination with EDF's existing EPR2 programme
        management and with Framatome (EDF nuclear
        engineering subsidiary).

    (a) Five-year wage-floor coordination for French
        workers transitioning into EPR2 construction roles;
    (b) Skills-certification coordination with the French
        professional-training apparatus (FAFIH, OPCO
        Constructys, AFPA);
    (c) Coordination with the Conseils régionaux of
        Normandie (Penly), Hauts-de-France (Gravelines),
        and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (Bugey) on local
        workforce integration;
    (d) Coordination with French apprenticeship structures
        and the CFA (Centre de formation des apprentis)
        network.

(4) The Programme reports annually to the Authority's

    Conseil d'administration and to the Parlement on
    workforce-integration progress and on EPR2 build-out
    skills-pipeline status.

ARTICLE 11 — SERVICE CIVIQUE COORDINATION

The CRCF coordinates with the existing French Service Civique programme (created by Loi du 10 mars 2010 relative au service civique). The CRCF does not replace the Service Civique; it complements the Service Civique's youth-civic- engagement mission with the productive-capacity coordination mission established by this Act.

ARTICLE 12 — REGIONAL DEPLOYMENT

CRCF deployment is coordinated through the eighteen Regional Delivery Units under Title IV.

TITLE IV — REGIONAL DELIVERY UNITS

ARTICLE 13 — ESTABLISHMENT

There are established eighteen Regional Delivery Units of the Authority, one in each French région: thirteen métropolitaines and five régions d'outre-mer per the definition in this Act.

ARTICLE 14 — REGIONAL DELIVERY UNIT FUNCTIONS

Each Regional Delivery Unit:

(a) Contracts on behalf of the Authority with French

    private producers, French private engineering firms,
    French private construction firms, French private
    logistics operators, and French private specialty
    manufacturers in the région;

(b) Coordinates with the Conseil régional; (c) Coordinates with FranceAgriMer's regional offices for

    agricultural-sector coordination;

(d) Coordinates with the regional networks of SCOP and

    SCIC enterprises and with the mutualist sector;

(e) Coordinates Personal Productive Asset distribution

    under Title II in the région;

(f) Coordinates CRCF deployment under Title III in the

    région;

(g) Reports quarterly to the Authority's Conseil

    d'administration on regional operational status;

(h) Maintains a public regional inventory of contracted

    French private partners.

ARTICLE 15 — RÉGIONS D'OUTRE-MER

The five Regional Delivery Units in the régions d'outre-mer (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane, La Réunion, Mayotte) operate with additional logistics provision for transatlantic and Indian Ocean supply chain, including coordination with the existing Octroi de mer regime where applicable and with French DROM-specific economic-development programmes.

ARTICLE 16 — EPR2-HOSTING RÉGIONS

The Regional Delivery Units of Normandie (Penly), Hauts-de- France (Gravelines), and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (Bugey) carry additional coordination responsibility under Article 10 (the EPR2 Construction Skills Coordination Programme), and receive corresponding Conseil d'administration coordination support.

TITLE V — COOPERATIVE AND MUTUALIST INTEGRATION

ARTICLE 17 — RECOGNITION OF THE FRENCH COOPERATIVE AND

            MUTUALIST TRADITION

The Parliament recognises the French cooperative and mutualist tradition under the Loi Hamon of 31 July 2014, as defined in the France Food, Resource, and Commodity Assurance Act, including the 4,140 SCOP and SCIC operating in France 2024, the SCOP (62,523 jobs end-2025), the SCIC (17,548 jobs end-2025 and EUR 1.6 billion cumulative revenue), and the mutualist pillars (Crédit Mutuel, Crédit Agricole, MAIF, Macif). The Authority coordinates with this tradition on the operational terms set out in this Title.

ARTICLE 18 — COOPERATIVE PROCUREMENT PRIORITY

The Authority shall apply procurement priority to SCOP and SCIC enterprises in contracted productive-capacity work, all other commercial terms being substantially equal. The Authority shall report annually to Parliament on the share of contracted work routed through SCOP and SCIC vehicles.

ARTICLE 19 — MUTUALIST COORDINATION

The Authority shall enter into operational coordination agreements with Crédit Mutuel, Crédit Agricole, MAIF, and Macif for distribution coordination in rural and péri-urbain zones where these mutualist networks have established operational presence.

TITLE VI — ENERGY SECURITY (CO-EQUAL TITLE)

ARTICLE 20 — RECOGNITION OF EDF

The Parliament recognises EDF (Électricité de France) as the French energy-sector chassis. EDF was fully nationalised in 2023 with 100 percent state ownership and operates the largest civil nuclear fleet in Europe (56 reactors, approximately 65 percent of French electricity 2025). This Act does not alter EDF's existing statutory posture; the Authority coordinates with EDF on the operational terms set out in this Title.

ARTICLE 21 — COORDINATION WITH THE EPR2 PROGRAMME

(1) The Authority coordinates with EDF on the EPR2 six-

    reactor programme at Penly, Gravelines, and Bugey
