Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Our dogs are part of the family - they shouldn't be forced to wait alone outside the bakery, the butcher's or the gelateria. Problems: - Animals left outside are sometimes stolen - During heatwaves, being left tied up outside is dangerous for them. - Queues prolong the wait and cause stress for owners. The proposal - To allow dogs on a lead and under their owner's supervision into local shops (bakeries, butchers, ice-cream parlours, grocery shops), except in areas expressly prohibited for health or safety reasons - Introduce simple and practical rules: leashes compulsory; dogs permitted only if they do not disrupt service; no entry to preparation areas without a barrier; owners liable for any damage - Raise awareness amongst shopkeepers and the public about responsible behaviour (picking up after their dogs, keeping them on a leash, muzzling them if necessary)

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 : Le développement de la mobilité durable constitue un enjeu prioritaire pour réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et améliorer la qualité de l'air en milieu urbain et périurbain. Actuellement, les voies de covoiturage (VR2+) sont réservées aux véhicules transportant au moins deux occupants. Afin d'accélérer la transition écologique et d'inciter les automobilistes à abandonner les motorisations thermiques individuelles, il est proposé d'harmoniser et de généraliser l'accès de ces voies aux véhicules particuliers entièrement électriques, même avec un seul occupant à bord. Cette mesure présente un triple avantage : elle valorise l'effort d'investissement des particuliers dans des véhicules propres, elle fluidifie le trafic global en délestant les voies conventionnelles, et elle renforce l'attractivité de l'électromobilité auprès des conducteurs effectuant des trajets quotidiens en solo.
