Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Introduce legislation requiring employers in Luxembourg to provide clear, specific and objective justifications for every mandatory language requirement included in a job advertisement. The legislation should establish the following obligations: Job-related justification: Each mandatory language requirement must be justified by specific professional duties, such as communication with clients, colleagues, public authorities or other stakeholders. Proportional proficiency levels: Employers must justify not only the language required but also the requested proficiency level, using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Distinction between essential and desirable skills: Languages that are useful but not essential for performing the job must be identified as desirable rather than mandatory. Transparent job advertisements: Justifications must be included directly in job descriptions, allowing applicants to understand why the specified language skills are necessary. Prevention of arbitrary requirements: Language requirements must be proportionate to the actual responsibilities of the position and must not create unjustified barriers to employment. Oversight and enforcement: Competent authorities must be empowered to examine potentially unjustified language requirements and impose proportionate sanctions for non-compliance.

OBJECT : We call on the Government and the Chamber of Deputies to strengthen the legal framework governing the management of condominium properties in Luxembourg in order to ensure greater transparency, responsiveness and oversight for co-owners. The requested reform should, in particular, provide for reasonable and binding deadlines for responding to requests and handling matters by property managers, better monitoring of damage and insurance claims, easier access to condominium documents, greater transparency regarding contracts and service providers, as well as stronger competition between companies providing services on behalf of condominium associations. Co-owners should also have more effective means of monitoring the management of their condominium association, together with appropriate mechanisms in cases of repeated or unjustified failures to fulfil management obligations. The objective is to establish clear rules ensuring more transparent, efficient, traceable and responsible management of condominium properties in Luxembourg.

OBJECT : Demande de modification de la législation funéraire luxembourgeoise afin de permettre, sous réserve que l'animal ait été préalablement incinéré, le dépôt ou la dispersion de ses cendres simultanément avec celles de son détenteur humain dans les cimetières communaux ou les espaces cinéraires dédiés.
