Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Pourquoi c'est important Afin d'atteindre ses objectifs climatiques tout en préservant le pouvoir d'achat des résidents et des frontaliers, le Luxembourg doit diversifier ses solutions de mobilité durable. Si le développement de l'électrique progresse, il reste financièrement inaccessible pour une grande partie des ménages à moyen et bas revenu. Le bioéthanol E85 et la conversion des véhicules essence (rétrofit via boîtier homologué) constituent une solution alternative immédiatement disponible, économique et écologique.

OBJECT : The petitioners ask the Government and the Chamber of Deputies to introduce a moratorium, meaning a temporary ban, on the sale, promotion and use in places open to the public in Luxembourg of consumer smart glasses fitted with a camera or AI-based visual analysis. The moratorium would stay in place until a legal framework is adopted that effectively protects people who are filmed, recorded or analysed without their knowledge. Assistive technology used by blind, partially sighted or disabled people, and specialist professional equipment used for a defined purpose, would be excluded from the moratorium, including their use. The petitioners also ask the Government to press, at European Union level, for common rules that protect people from these devices.

OBJECT : Introduce legislation requiring employers in Luxembourg to provide clear, specific and objective justifications for every mandatory language requirement included in a job advertisement. The legislation should establish the following obligations: Job-related justification: Each mandatory language requirement must be justified by specific professional duties, such as communication with clients, colleagues, public authorities or other stakeholders. Proportional proficiency levels: Employers must justify not only the language required but also the requested proficiency level, using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Distinction between essential and desirable skills: Languages that are useful but not essential for performing the job must be identified as desirable rather than mandatory. Transparent job advertisements: Justifications must be included directly in job descriptions, allowing applicants to understand why the specified language skills are necessary. Prevention of arbitrary requirements: Language requirements must be proportionate to the actual responsibilities of the position and must not create unjustified barriers to employment. Oversight and enforcement: Competent authorities must be empowered to examine potentially unjustified language requirements and impose proportionate sanctions for non-compliance.
