France: ILO finds that 'new recruitment contract' breaches convention

In November 2007, the governing body of the International Labour Organization (ILO) found that France's "new recruitment contract" scheme, introduced in 2005 with the aim of boosting employment in small companies, breaches ILO convention no.158 on termination of employment.

The "new recruitment contract" (contrat nouvelle embauche, CNE) was introduced by government ordinance 2005-893 of 2 August 2005.
