Fuelling at aircraft stands and petroleum storage run directly by refiners or distributors now fall under the petroleum agreement, even for non-members of Ufip énergies et mobilités.

Corporate counsel and HR teams in refining, distribution, aviation fuelling and petroleum storage face a wider petroleum-industry agreement. An avenant of 14 April 2026 to the Convention collective nationale de l'industrie du pétrole (CCNIP)Legifrance of 3 September 1985 rewrites article 101, the scope clause
Legifrance, so that two activities fall inside the agreement when refining or distribution companies perform them directly: fuel and oil assistance at aircraft stands (avitaillement des aéronefs, class 632E) and non-refrigerated storage of petroleum products (class 631E)
Legifrance. The extension no longer depends on membership of Ufip énergies et mobilités
Legifrance; non-member refiners and distributors performing these activities in metropolitan France are covered too
Legifrance. The wholesale fuel trade class (515A, commerce de gros de combustibles) is restated without change: it still covers only wholesale petroleum trade performed directly by refining and distribution companies that belong to Ufip énergies et mobilités.
Legifrance
The practical consequence is a change of applicable agreement for newly covered establishments. The minimum terms the CCNIP sets now govern the employees of covered fuelling and storage operations run directly by refiners and distributors.Legifrance Employers concerned should map those minimum terms against existing contracts and company agreements to see what changes for the staff affected.
The avenant is concluded for an indefinite period and enters into force the day after publication of the minister's extension orderLegifrance. An extension order dated 23 September 2026 carries the avenant's clauses
Legifrance, with stated reservations on the revision provisions; no publication date for that order is stated in the documents. Article 4 provides that article 101 now stands recodified in these terms and may only evolve through revision or denunciation of the CCNIP, with a rendez-vous provision if later legislation substantially affects the clause. The social partners state that no provisions specific to undertakings with fewer than 50 employees were needed, all undertakings being covered alike.
Legal basis: avenant du 14 avril 2026 modifiant l'article 101 de la Convention collective nationale de l'industrie du pétrole du 3 septembre 1985, extended by arrêté du 23 septembre 2026.
