Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

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.

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 : It is 2026, and we continue to see cigarette ends and other litter on the ground every day. Despite the 2012 law, which was tightened in 2022, some people continue to throw their cigarette ends on the ground without facing any consequences. This pollution, which is entirely preventable, should no longer be happening in 2026. (It is hard to understand how some people can still do this in full knowledge of the law...) Solutions must be found urgently to enforce the law. Without fines, attitudes will not change, despite the various awareness campaigns. Proof in action: Speed cameras help to reduce speeding. Breathalyser checks help to reduce alcohol abuse. Etc. We must therefore introduce police checks and issue fines to those who continue to throw away their cigarette ends or other litter. As a reminder, Singapore sets an example for us all. Throwing away a cigarette end is punishable by a fine of EUR12,400 and several hours of community service. Conclusion: no cigarette ends or chewing gum on the ground.
