In addition, according to the French Republic, the reform of the arrangements for financing the retirement pensions of France Télécom and, in particular, the imposition of the payment of an exceptional contribution, did not cost the State between 1997 and 2006 but in fact generated net revenue exceeding EUR 9,1 billion for the French State, according to the estimates of the French authorities [52].
Prantsuse Vabariigi arvates ei oleks France Télécomi pensionide rahastamise meetodi reform, eelkõige erakorralise sissemakse nõude kehtestamine, toonud riigi jaoks ajavahemikus 1997–2006 kaasa kulu, vaid oleks tegelikult Prantsusmaa ametiasutuste hinnangu kohaselt toonud Prantsusmaale 9,1 miljardi euro suuruse netotulu [52].
