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 : La présente pétition a pour but d'interdire la présence d'animaux de compagnie (notamment les chiens) lors des grands rassemblements publics à forte affluence au Luxembourg (fêtes foraines, marchés de Noël, kermesses d'envergure), hors chiens d'assistance. Cette mesure vise à préserver le bien-être animal face au stress sonore et à la foule, tout en garantissant la sécurité physique des animaux et des visiteurs.

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.
