The national health, safety and working conditions committee (CNSHSCT) held an exceptional meeting today, chaired by Olivier Barberot, the Group’s Human Resources Director, further to the tragedies that have affected several of the company's employees in France over the last few months.

On this occasion, Didier Lombard, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, called on the Group's Human Resources department to make specific concrete proposals in line with employees' expectations. It has been decided to:

Suspend all mobility plans for people concerned by reorganization projects until October 31 in order to reexamine the conditions for their implementation;

From September 18, open talks with employee representatives in order to roll out the measures included in the national interprofessional agreement on stress within the France Telecom Group. The Group has asked Dr. Eric Albert, psychiatrist and head of the French Institute for Action against Stress, to be a scientific adviser accompanying the negotiations;

Carry out an audit of the situation at the end of November, with the support of an independent consultancy, which will be selected over the next few days in consultation with trade unions;

Further strengthen the occupational medicine and social assistance teams in terms of their headcount (+10% occupational health doctors over the coming months) and their resources;

Reinforce the local Human Resources teams, with around 100 members of staff;

Generalizing negotiations for accompanying future reorganization plans. Such measures may include training, support measures for mobility and adjustments to working times, and will be based on various agreements already in place within the Group such as the “flexible working” agreement signed on June 22, 2009.
