Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : La présente pétition demande que toute personne résidant au Luxembourg ayant exercé une activité professionnelle et cotisé à la sécurité sociale puisse continuer à bénéficier de l'assurance maladie après la fin de son emploi, même lorsqu'elle ne remplit pas les conditions pour bénéficier des indemnités de chômage. La perte d'un emploi ne devrait pas entraîner la perte de la couverture maladie pour une personne qui a travaillé et participé au financement du système de sécurité sociale. Il est demandé de mettre en place un maintien automatique de l'affiliation à l'assurance maladie pour les personnes sans emploi qui restent inscrites comme demandeurs d'emploi et recherchent activement un nouvel emploi, indépendamment de leur droit ou non aux indemnités de chômage.

OBJECT : This petition aims to invite the Government and the Chamber of Deputies to expand and institutionalize the "Logementsdësch" into a National Commission to Combat the Housing Crisis, which would meet monthly under the authority of the Prime Minister. In addition to the relevant ministries in this field (Housing, Home Affairs, Environment, and others), this Commission should bring together Syvicol, the Chamber of Employees (Chambre des Salariés), the Chamber of Skilled Trades (Chambre des Métiers), the Luxembourg Bankers' Association (ABBL), the Housing Observatory (Observatoire de l'habitat), the Real Estate Chamber (Chambre Immobilière), and NGOs active in consumer protection (ULC, Fondation pour l'accès au logement, Mieterschutz asbl). The responsibility of this Commission would be to develop, coordinate, and accelerate the implementation of a multi-year national response to the housing crisis, reporting on proposed measures and their progress to the Chamber of Deputies at least twice a year. Among the measures the Commission could consider are, among others: • The issuance of an annual public housing bond program of 500 million euros for 4 years, fully invested in the creation or acquisition of affordable housing. • A national target of 20% affordable housing. • Doubling the maximum amount of the state guarantee for housing loans in order to facilitate access to credit for first-time buyers.

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.
