Deprived in this way of the possibility of recruiting civil servants, which is understandable for that matter given the henceforth competitive nature of the provision of the services in question, France Télécom would have had to shoulder an excessive burden to pay the retirement pensions for the staff concerned in relation to that which its competitors had and still have to pay.
Olles nii ilma jäetud võimalusest värvata ametnikke riigiasutustest, mis oli ka arusaadav, sest kõnealuste teenuste osutamises tekkis konkurents, seisis France Télécom nende töökohtade puhul silmitsi üleliigsete pensionimaksete maksmise kohustusega võrreldes sellega, mida tema konkurendid pidid ja peavad maksma.
