Overview

  • He announced his planned departure in a 18 September internal letter after France proposed him as the new French member of the Luxembourg-based European Court of Auditors.
  • His nomination will be examined by the European Parliament and the Council in the autumn before any appointment is confirmed.
  • He said he will close his Cour des comptes mandate before its extended end date and remain fully engaged until leaving in January.
  • A July 15 decree had moved the retirement age for the post, extending his term to September 2026 before this new move.
  • His five-year tenure included internal frictions over governance and personnel decisions and a tougher audit posture, including a warning in 2025 that state accounts might not be certified without progress.
