Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : [FR] Révision et optimisation des procédures de départ normalisé aux instruments (SID) à l'aéroport de Luxembourg afin de répartir plus équitablement le bruit aérien sur l'ensemble de la ville de Luxembourg. Les procédures actuelles de réduction du bruit imposent aux pilotes de maintenir une trajectoire rectiligne jusqu'à 4 000 pieds avant d'effectuer le premier virage latéral (source : ELLX Information aéronautique, Section 3.1, éditions Jeppesen/Lido jusqu'en 2025). Les SID de la piste 24 - qui survolent le Kirchberg, le quartier de la Gare, Bonnevoie et Cessange - maintiennent ce cap rectiligne sur 5,4 à 8,0 milles nautiques (10 à 15 km) avant de tourner (source : cartes SID ELLX piste 24, en vigueur depuis novembre 2024). La pétition demande que le Gouvernement charge l'Administration de la Navigation Aérienne (ANA), en coordination avec le comité consultatif bruit de lux-Airport, de mener une révision formelle de toutes les procédures de départ de la piste 24 afin d'identifier où des virages latéraux plus précoces sont opérationnellement réalisables, de publier les données d'exposition au bruit par quartier issues des cartes de bruit stratégiques requises par la directive européenne 2002/49/CE, et de communiquer publiquement les résultats dans un délai de douze mois. [EN] Review and optimisation of Standard Instrument Departure (SID) procedures at Luxembourg Airport to achieve a fairer distribution of aircraft departure noise across the wider Luxembourg City area. Luxembourg Airport's published noise abatement procedures instruct pilots to climb on a straight track until 4,000 feet before executing the first lateral turn (source: ELLX Aeronautical Information, Section 3.1, Jeppesen/Lido editions through 2025). The SIDs from runway 24 - which overfly the Hamm quartier, Gare quarter, Bonnevoie, and Cessange - maintain this straight heading for 5.4 to 8.0 nautical miles (10 to 15 km) before turning (source: ELLX SID charts RWY 24, effective November 2024). The petition requests that the Government instruct the Administration de la Navigation Aérienne (ANA), in coordination with lux-Airport's noise advisory board, to conduct a formal review of all runway 24 departure procedures to identify where earlier lateral turns are operationally feasible, to publish district-level noise exposure data from the strategic noise maps required under EU Directive 2002/49/CE, and to report findings publicly within twelve months.

OBJECT : Die Abgeordnetenkammer wird höflich ersucht, die gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen zu prüfen, um am luxemburgischen Nationalfeiertag (23. Juni) eine landesweite Befreiung von der Mehrwertsteuer (TVA) auf Konsumgüter und Dienstleistungen zu ermöglichen. Diese Maßnahme soll insbesondere die Gastronomie (Horeca) und den lokalen Einzelhandel stärken, die Kaufkraft der Bürger spürbar erhöhen und den Nationalfeiertag als Fest der sozialen Gleichheit und wirtschaftlichen Vitalität hervorheben.

OBJECT : The purpose of this petition is to introduce, in Luxembourg, a legal framework for collective supplementary health insurance for employees in the private sector. This framework should provide for the following principles: 1. An obligation, for companies reaching a minimum employee threshold, to offer their employees collective supplementary health insurance; 2. A minimum employer contribution of 50% of the cost of the employee's basic coverage; 3. For companies with more than 100 employees, the possibility to offer three different levels of coverage adapted to employees' needs, provided that the price of the highest level does not exceed more than 100% above the lowest level; 4. Freedom of choice for employees, including: * joining the basic coverage; * optional extension to family members under negotiated conditions; * the possibility of exemption, exclusively where equivalent coverage already exists, notably through a spouse, another employer or a foreign scheme; 5. Tax neutrality, ensuring that the share paid by the employee benefits from tax treatment at least equivalent to that applicable to individually subscribed supplementary health insurance; 6. Adaptation according to company size, in order not to impose disproportionate administrative burdens on small and medium-sized enterprises; 7. Early application or specific mechanisms for companies employing staff in risk-related positions or under particularly demanding working conditions. These measures aim to improve access to healthcare, reduce household financial burden, strengthen fairness between employees, and reconcile social protection with economic competitiveness.
