The Minister of Culture has mobilized to find a solution to ensure that artist authors maintain their purchasing power in the context of an increase in the CSG.
In order to secure the system, the Government has chosen by regulation a compensation mechanism that will be implemented by the accredited bodies managing the social security system of the artists authors (Agessa and Maison des Artistes) and will be funded from the budget of the Ministry of Culture in 2018.
This will not be a subsidy to pay the basic old age contribution, but a measure to guarantee purchasing power.
During 2018, a mission of the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs and the General Inspectorate of Cultural Affairs will make it possible to make proposals for a lasting solution in the future.
The Minister of Culture welcomes this solution and warmly thanks all parliamentarians who have strongly mobilized alongside the ministry and the authors on this subject.
