Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Diese Petition soll die luxemburgische Regierung darauf aufmerksam machen, dass Adipositas eine ernsthafte chronische Erkrankung ist und dass moderne Abnehmspritzen (GLP-1 Medikamente) eine wirksame medizinische Behandlung darstellen. Ziel ist, eine Prüfung und mögliche Anpassung der Kostenübernahme durch die CNS für Patientinnen und Patienten mit Adipositas ab Grad I zu erreichen, damit der Zugang zu dieser Therapie nicht vom Einkommen abhängt, sondern vom medizinischen Bedarf.

OBJECT : Purpose of the petition The goal of the debt brake is to - ensure the long-term sustainability of the state budget, - preserve the financial leeway for government tasks, and - not burden future generations.

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.
