Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : The purpose of this petition is to strengthen consumer rights in Luxembourg by introducing into the Consumer Code a strict principle of contractual and financial reciprocity vis-à-vis businesses and professionals (specifically across the banking, insurance, telecommunications, energy, and e-commerce sectors). The objective is to grant users and consumers the legal authority to charge standard administrative/handling fees or obtain automatic, regulated compensation when a persistent technical malfunction, digital interface outage, or processing failure attributable to the service provider forces the user to perform time-consuming manual procedures to fulfill contractual obligations or assert their rights. The petition also calls for the mandatory, automatic waiver of all ancillary fees, reminder costs, or penalties claimed by a provider whenever a delay or complication stems from an outage or bug in its own digital systems.

OBJECT : Demander la mise en place d'une obligation pour les employeurs de proposer un contrat à durée indéterminée (CDI) aux apprentis ayant terminé avec succès leur formation au sein de l'entreprise. Après plusieurs années de formation, l'apprenti devrait pouvoir bénéficier d'une véritable continuité professionnelle et valoriser les compétences acquises au sein de l'entreprise. La proposition d'un CDI devrait constituer la continuité normale du parcours de formation, sauf en cas de faute grave de l'apprenti, de démission de sa part ou d'un motif légitime et objectivement justifié prévu par la loi. Cette mesure viserait notamment à mieux sécuriser l'entrée des jeunes et des adultes formés dans la vie professionnelle, à valoriser l'apprentissage et à éviter qu'une personne ayant consacré plusieurs années à sa formation se retrouve sans emploi immédiatement après l'obtention de son diplôme.

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)
