Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Cette pétition a pour objectif de demander aux autorités luxembourgeoises de renforcer les contrôles et les mesures destinés à réduire les nuisances sonores, les émissions de poussières, les odeurs et les autres impacts environnementaux liés aux activités de sites industriels situés dans ou à proximité de la commune de Sanem. Elle vise à garantir aux habitants des communes concernées le droit à un environnement sain, une meilleure qualité de vie, une plus grande transparence des contrôles et la mise en œuvre de solutions concrètes lorsque des dépassements ou des nuisances sont constatés.

OBJECT : To formally request the Chamber of Deputies and the Ministry of Higher Education and Research to promote and fund the creation of Bachelor's degree programs taught entirely in English at the University of Luxembourg. This offering should cover strategic academic fields, specifically including a Bachelor in Educational Sciences to train future teachers for the international public school system locally.

OBJECT : This petition aims to invite the Government and the Chamber of Deputies to expand and institutionalize the "Logementsdësch" into a National Commission to Combat the Housing Crisis, which would meet monthly under the authority of the Prime Minister. In addition to the relevant ministries in this field (Housing, Home Affairs, Environment, and others), this Commission should bring together Syvicol, the Chamber of Employees (Chambre des Salariés), the Chamber of Skilled Trades (Chambre des Métiers), the Luxembourg Bankers' Association (ABBL), the Housing Observatory (Observatoire de l'habitat), the Real Estate Chamber (Chambre Immobilière), and NGOs active in consumer protection (ULC, Fondation pour l'accès au logement, Mieterschutz asbl). The responsibility of this Commission would be to develop, coordinate, and accelerate the implementation of a multi-year national response to the housing crisis, reporting on proposed measures and their progress to the Chamber of Deputies at least twice a year. Among the measures the Commission could consider are, among others: • The issuance of an annual public housing bond program of 500 million euros for 4 years, fully invested in the creation or acquisition of affordable housing. • A national target of 20% affordable housing. • Doubling the maximum amount of the state guarantee for housing loans in order to facilitate access to credit for first-time buyers.
