Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : The purpose of this petition is to introduce, in Luxembourg, a legal framework for collective supplementary health insurance for employees in the private sector. This framework should provide for the following principles: 1. An obligation, for companies reaching a minimum employee threshold, to offer their employees collective supplementary health insurance; 2. A minimum employer contribution of 50% of the cost of the employee's basic coverage; 3. For companies with more than 100 employees, the possibility to offer three different levels of coverage adapted to employees' needs, provided that the price of the highest level does not exceed more than 100% above the lowest level; 4. Freedom of choice for employees, including: * joining the basic coverage; * optional extension to family members under negotiated conditions; * the possibility of exemption, exclusively where equivalent coverage already exists, notably through a spouse, another employer or a foreign scheme; 5. Tax neutrality, ensuring that the share paid by the employee benefits from tax treatment at least equivalent to that applicable to individually subscribed supplementary health insurance; 6. Adaptation according to company size, in order not to impose disproportionate administrative burdens on small and medium-sized enterprises; 7. Early application or specific mechanisms for companies employing staff in risk-related positions or under particularly demanding working conditions. These measures aim to improve access to healthcare, reduce household financial burden, strengthen fairness between employees, and reconcile social protection with economic competitiveness.

OBJECT : Dës Petitioun huet als Zil, zu Lëtzebuerg e méi gerechten a méi proportionale System vu Geldstrofen bei Vitessiwwerschreidungen anzeféieren. D'Verkéierssécherheet muss eng absolut Prioritéit bleiwen, an geféierlecht Verhalen am Stroosseverkéier soll weiderhin streng bestrooft ginn. Awer vill Bierger hunn haut d'Gefill, datt den aktuelle System net ëmmer genuch tëscht engem klenge Feeler an engem wierklech geféierleche Verhalen ënnerscheet. Et schéngt schwéier ze verstoen, datt eng Persoun, déi an enger 50er-Zon mat 51 km/h geblëtzt gëtt nom Toleranzofzéien, aktuell déi selwecht Geldstrof bezilt wéi eng Persoun, déi mat 69 km/h kontrolléiert gëtt. Obwuel de Risiko an d'Responsabilitéit net vergläichbar sinn, bleift d'Sanktioun identesch. Déi selwecht Situatioun fënnt een och bei 30er-Zonen, op Landstroossen oder op der Autobunn. Dës Petitioun fuerdert dofir eng méi fair an differenzéiert Staffelung vun de Sanktiounen, déi besser un d'Gravitéit vun der effektiver Vitessiwwerschreidung ugepasst ass. Eng gerecht a verständlech Regelung géif net nëmmen d'Gefill vu Fairness stäerken, mee och d'Akzeptanz vum System bei de Bierger verbesseren. Well eng Sanktioun gëtt vill besser akzeptéiert, wann si als gerecht a logesch empfonnt gëtt. D'Zil vun dëser Petitioun ass also net, Vitessiwwerschreidungen ze vernoléissegen, mee e System ze schafen, deen Sécherheet a Gerechtegkeet besser matenee verbënnt.

OBJECT : Currently, various airlines impose strict weight limits for animals traveling in the cabin, along with very restrictive size requirements. These conditions exclude many small dogs that only slightly exceed this limit, particularly dogs weighing around 10 to 12 kg, which are nonetheless suitable for cabin travel under appropriate conditions. In practice, these animals are often calm, accustomed to traveling, and able to remain in a suitable carrier under the seat. However, they are systematically refused in the cabin and must travel in the hold, which can cause stress and pose risks to their well-being. This petition proposes a reasonable adjustment of the current rules: increasing the allowed weight limit in the cabin to 12 kg (excluding the transport bag), no longer penalizing passengers by including the weight of the bag in the limit, adapting the permitted dimensions to better reflect the reality of small-sized animals, maintaining strict safety and transport requirements (appropriate carrier, calm animal). The objective is to better balance passenger safety with animal welfare by adapting the rules to real and common situations. We call on the Luxembourg authorities to encourage an evolution of these conditions in order to make them fairer, more proportionate, and better suited to current needs.
