Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

PURPOSE : The Luxembourgish language is a central element of the national identity and social cohesion of Luxembourg. According to Article 4 of the Constitution of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Luxembourgish is the national language of the country. However, in everyday life it is increasingly observed that communication in Luxembourgish becomes difficult or even impossible. This concerns not only the public sector, but also many areas of daily life. In sensitive situations in particular, it is important that people can express themselves in their own language and also be understood. This applies especially in: • hospitals and healthcare institutions • retirement homes and care facilities • schools and childcare structures for children and young people • pharmacies • shops and services • public administrations • and many other areas

PURPOSE : Entry fees for Luxembourg private pension plans (Pillars II and III) can reach 4%, and management fees up to 1.5%, despite many funds merely tracking or underperforming indices. These costs erode long-term returns. Parliament should cap entry fees and limit annual management fees to 1% (100 bps) to improve fairness and attractiveness.

PURPOSE : The purpose of this petition is to propose the introduction of a fairer profit-sharing mechanism within companies established in Luxembourg, based on the net profit generated per employee. The objective is to introduce a progressive and proportionate distribution framework, applicable in situations of high or exceptional profitability, allowing for better recognition of employees' contribution to value creation, while preserving Luxembourg's economic attractiveness, international competitiveness, and the stability of its business environment. This mechanism would be non-automatic and adaptable, taking into account the size, sector of activity, and the actual economic situation of each company, and would not seek to penalise SMEs, start-ups, or low-margin businesses.
