Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Introduce legislation requiring employers in Luxembourg to provide specific, written and factual reasons for rejecting job applicants. The legislation should establish the following obligations: Specific feedback: Identify the professional skills, qualifications, experience or assessment results decisive in the rejection. Generic explanations must not be considered sufficient. Clear justification: Distinguish between candidates who fail to meet essential requirements and qualified candidates rejected in favour of another applicant, specifying the decisive selection criteria. Documented selection criteria: Establish selection criteria before evaluating candidates and document recruitment decisions. Record retention: Retain recruitment assessments and decisions for a legally defined period, in compliance with data protection legislation. Independent review: Allow candidates to request an independent examination where reasonable grounds exist to suspect discrimination, favouritism or other irregularities. Enforcement: Establish reasonable deadlines for providing feedback, effective oversight mechanisms and proportionate sanctions for non-compliance. The required level of detail should reflect the stage reached in the recruitment process.

OBJECT : This petition calls for legislation requiring property developers to appoint and pay for an accredited independent expert to inspect and verify the progress of construction works at each stage of the project. Payment of each instalment by the buyer would only be authorised once the expert has confirmed that the corresponding stage of construction has been completed. This would establish a framework that better protects buyers purchasing off-plan properties (VEFA).

OBJECT : Cette initiative vise à renforcer la démocratie participative en permettant aux citoyens de s'exprimer régulièrement sur les questions d'intérêt public, et non uniquement lors des élections. Proposition Nous proposons que : - chaque citoyen ayant le droit de vote soit tenu de participer à un vote hebdomadaire sur les pétitions publiques éligibles ; - les votes puissent être exprimés par voie électronique, tout en garantissant des solutions accessibles aux personnes ne disposant pas d'un accès à Internet ; - chaque citoyen puisse voter « Pour », « Contre » ou « Abstention » pour chaque pétition ; - les résultats soient publiés de manière transparente et servent à déterminer les suites à donner aux pétitions, conformément aux dispositions légales ; - des exceptions soient prévues pour les personnes empêchées de participer pour des raisons légitimes.
