Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : This petition calls upon the Government and the Chamber of Deputies: to raise the tax-deductible ceiling applicable to employees' personal contributions to supplementary occupational pension schemes from EUR1,200 to at least EUR4,500 per year; and to provide for the periodic adjustment of this ceiling so that its real value is not progressively eroded by inflation. This increase would align the second-pillar ceiling with the EUR4,500 ceiling now applicable to individual third-pillar retirement savings plans.

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 : Fermeture du centre de consommation supervisée (Abrigado) situé dans le quartier de la gare de Luxembourg-Ville et réévaluation globale de la gestion locale de la toxicomanie. But poursuivi : Rétablir durablement la sécurité, la salubrité publique et la tranquillité résidentielle et commerciale dans le quartier de la gare et le centre-ville. La pétition vise à mettre fin à la centralisation du phénomène de la drogue au coeur de la capitale et à inciter les autorités à adopter une stratégie nationale et transfrontalière plus restrictive, axée sur le contrôle et la décentralisation des structures d'aide.
