Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : This petition calls upon the Government and the Chamber of Deputies: to raise the tax-deductible ceiling applicable to employees' personal contributions to supplementary occupational pension schemes from EUR1,200 to at least EUR4,500 per year; and to provide for the periodic adjustment of this ceiling so that its real value is not progressively eroded by inflation. This increase would align the second-pillar ceiling with the EUR4,500 ceiling now applicable to individual third-pillar retirement savings plans.

OBJECT : The purpose of this petition is to strengthen consumer rights in Luxembourg by introducing into the Consumer Code a strict principle of contractual and financial reciprocity vis-à-vis businesses and professionals (specifically across the banking, insurance, telecommunications, energy, and e-commerce sectors). The objective is to grant users and consumers the legal authority to charge standard administrative/handling fees or obtain automatic, regulated compensation when a persistent technical malfunction, digital interface outage, or processing failure attributable to the service provider forces the user to perform time-consuming manual procedures to fulfill contractual obligations or assert their rights. The petition also calls for the mandatory, automatic waiver of all ancillary fees, reminder costs, or penalties claimed by a provider whenever a delay or complication stems from an outage or bug in its own digital systems.

OBJECT : Zurzeit nimmt das Abgeordnetenmandat 20 Wochenstunden politischen Urlaub in Anspruch. So mancher Bürgermeister/in hat bereits 40 Wochenstunden politischen Urlaub in seiner Gemeinde. Dies ergibt dann 60 Wochenstunden. In Luxemburg liegt die Wochenarbeitszeit auf 40 Stunden. Ziel der Petition ist es die politische Arbeit auf 40 Wochenstunden zu begrenzen. So darf ein Bürgermeister/in, welche/r bereits in seiner Gemeinde laut Gesetz 40. Wochenstunden politischen Urlaub von gesetzeswegen zusteht, keine weiteren Aktivitäten annehmen. Dies ermöglicht dann auch politische Arbeit auf mehr Menschen zu verteilen.
