André Bauler is a member of the Chamber of Deputies for DP in the Circonscription Nord, with a mandate that started on 2023-10-24.
\n24 April 2024 — calling for the construction sector to be stimulated quickly
\n\n\nDowéinst ass et wichteg, datt mer d’Bauwirtschaft sou séier wéi méiglech stimuléieren.
\n
That is why it is important that we stimulate the building industry as quickly as possible.
\n\n8 July 2025 — welcoming the permanent rise of the Bëllegen Akt tax credit to 40,000 euros
\n\n\nMir als Demokratesch Partei hunn eis natierlech immens doriwwer gefreet, dass de Bëllegen Akt dauerhaft op 40.000 Euro erhéicht gouf, wat den Éischtkeefer wierklech entgéintkënnt.
\n
We as the Democratic Party were of course very glad that the Bëllegen Akt was raised permanently to 40,000 euros, which really helps first-time buyers.
\n\n8 July 2025 — asking what effect the tax measures had on the housing market
\n\n\nElo si mir um Zäitpunkt ukomm, fir eis d’Fro ze stellen, wéi dës steierlech Moossname konkreet op de Logementsmarché gewierkt hunn.
\n
We have now reached the point of asking ourselves how these tax measures actually worked on the housing market.
\n\n25 April 2024 — stating his group's support for the changes
\n\n\nDës Upassunge sinn am Interesse vun allen Acteuren, déi am Walprozess implizéiert sinn, wat mer nëmme begréisse kënnen.
\n
These changes are in the interest of all the actors involved in the electoral process, which we can only welcome.
\n\n18 March 2025 — stating that protecting democracy and its institutions is the greatest present duty
\n\n\nEis Demokratie an hir Institutiounen ze schützen, dat ass haut eis gréissten Aufgab a Biergerflicht.
\n
Protecting our democracy and its institutions is today our greatest task and civic duty.
\n\n16 June 2026 — stating his view of the mandate of elected members
\n\n\nMir, déi gewielte Vertrieder, hunn den demokrateschen Optrag, politesch Entscheedungen ze huelen an eis dofir virun de Wielerinnen a Wieler ze veräntwerten.
\n
We, the elected representatives, have the democratic mandate to take political decisions and to answer for them before the voters.
\n\n24 April 2024 — committing to a step-by-step adjustment of the tax scale to inflation
\n\n\nAls DP setze mer eis jiddefalls dowéinst fir eng schrëttweis Upassung vum Steierbarème an – un d’Inflatioun wuelgemierkt, un d’Präisdeierecht.
\n
As the DP we are therefore committed to a step-by-step adjustment of the tax scale to inflation, to the rise in prices.
\n\n17 December 2025 — supporting the bill as a way to create and keep young innovative companies
\n\n\nMir schafe Viraussetzungen, fir datt jonk innovéierend Betriber zu Lëtzebuerg entstinn, fir datt se och bleiwen, fir datt dës Betriber wuessen an Erfolleg hunn.
\n
We are creating the conditions for young innovative companies to be founded in Luxembourg, to stay here, and for these companies to grow and succeed.
\n\n18 December 2025 — warning about a drawback of the higher deductible ceiling for private pension products
\n\n\nZweetens däerf awer net vergiess ginn, datt d’Zommen, déi am Kader vun dëse Kontrakter opgebaut ginn, bei der Ausbezuelung vun dëse Kontrakter besteiert ginn.
\n
Second, it must not be forgotten that the sums built up under these contracts are taxed when the contracts are paid out.
\n\n19 March 2026 — explaining why the bill is needed against tax evasion through crypto-assets
\n\n\nHei geet et also och virun allem ëm steierlech Transparenz. Laang Zäit konnten nämlech verschidden Transaktioune ronderëm Kryptowäerter de Steierverwaltungen einfach entwutschen, well se vun enger gewëssener Anonymitéit profitéiert hunn.
\n
So this is above all about tax transparency. For a long time various transactions around crypto-assets could simply escape the tax administrations, because they benefited from a certain anonymity.
\n\n27 February 2024 — presenting the report and stating the purpose of the convention
\n\n\nDe Sënn heivunner ass et, fir iwwert d’Aféierung vu generelle Prinzippien eng gréisser international Mobilitéit vun de Studenten, Fuerscher an de Salariéen ze favoriséieren an d’Recht op eng fair, equitabel an transparent Unerkennungsprozedur vun auslännesche Qualifikatiounen ze promouvéieren.
\n
The purpose of it is, through general principles, to favour greater international mobility of students, researchers and employees and to promote the right to a fair, equitable and transparent procedure for recognising foreign qualifications.
\n\n20 November 2025 — stating the growth in pupil numbers over six years
\n\n\nBannent sechs Joer ass de Lycée vun 190 op 1.065 Schüler gewuess.
\n
Within six years the school has grown from 190 to 1,065 pupils.
\n\n24 April 2024 — stating the share of state revenue coming from the finance industry
\n\n\nRonn een Drëttel vun de gesamte Staatsrecetten oder Steierrecettë kënnt aus der Finanzindustrie, jee no Entwécklung vun der Bourse.
\n
About one third of total state revenue, or tax revenue, comes from the finance industry, depending on how the stock exchange develops.
\n\n11 July 2024 — citing an estimate of the money laundered in the European Union each year
\n\n\nEsou geschat – dat hu mer mol bei eiser Fraktioun nogekuckt – géifen dann all Joer tëschent 117 an 210 Milliarden Euro an der Europäescher Unioun wäissgewäsch ginn, wann een deenen Zuele ka gleewen.
\n
On that estimate, which we checked in our group, between 117 and 210 billion euros are laundered in the European Union every year, if those figures can be believed.
\n\n2 April 2025 — stating the new obligation on payment service providers
\n\n\nAll Prestataire vu Bezuelungssystemer ass vun elo un also verflicht, senge Clienten d’Optioun vum Virement instantané unzebidden, an dëst, ouni datt et méi kascht wéi eng normal Iwwerweisung.
\n
From now on every payment system provider is therefore obliged to offer its clients the option of the instant transfer, and this without it costing more than a normal transfer.
\n\n22 January 2026 — asking the Finance Minister how the government rates the risk that moving supervision to ESMA weakens the fund industry
\n\n\nWéi bewäert d’Regierung de Risiko, datt eng Verlagerung vun Opsiichskompetenze bei d’ESMA d’Wettbewerbsfäegkeet vun eiser Fongenindustrie schwäche kéint, besonnesch am Verglach mat der grousser Geschwindegkeet an der Proximitéit, mat där d’CSSF haut Entscheedungen hëlt an international Acteuren ënnerstëtzt?
\n
How does the government assess the risk that a transfer of supervisory powers to ESMA could weaken the competitiveness of our fund industry, especially compared with the speed and closeness with which the CSSF takes decisions today and supports international players?
\n\n13 November 2024 — reporting a projection about AI's effect on banking jobs to justify his question
\n\n\nDës Ängschte muss een also eescht huelen, well verschidde Projektiounen dervunner ausginn, datt am Bankesecteur bis zu 54 % vun den Aarbechtsplaze vu kënschtlecher Intelligenz impaktéiert kéinte ginn; ech schwätzen hei am Konjunktiv.
\n
These fears must be taken seriously, because several projections assume that in the banking sector up to 54% of jobs could be affected by artificial intelligence; I am speaking here in the conditional.
\n\n18 December 2024 — stating that AI can keep the economy competitive and diversify it
\n\n\nD’KI huet en enormt Potenzial dofir, dass mer kompetitiv bleiwen oder vläicht nach méi kompetitiv kënne ginn an eis Wirtschaft virun allem weider diversifizéieren.
\n
AI has enormous potential for us to stay competitive, or perhaps become even more competitive, and above all to diversify our economy further.
\n\n25 June 2025 — stating that the country must not fall behind on artificial intelligence
\n\n\nLëtzebuerg däerf op dësem Feld schonn eleng aus Attraktivitéitsgrënn den Uschloss net verpassen, an et ass an dëse Kader, wou sech den neie Superrechner aschreift, de MeluXina-AI, an déi domat verbonnen AI Factory.
\n
Luxembourg must not miss the connection in this field, for reasons of attractiveness alone, and it is in that framework that the new supercomputer MeluXina-AI and the AI Factory linked to it belong.
\n\n5 December 2024 — arguing that the country must strengthen its attractiveness as an economic location
\n\n\nLëtzebuerg huet kee Choix: Et muss seng Attraktivitéit weider verstäerken, fir esou als ekonomesche Standuert besser opgestallt ze sinn.
\n
Luxembourg has no choice: it must strengthen its attractiveness further, so as to be better placed as an economic location.
\n\n29 April 2025 — stating the fall in the number of cafés since 2017
\n\n\nD’Zuele schwätzen eng däitlech Sprooch. Haut hu mir iwwer 200 Caféë manner wéi nach 2017.
\n
The figures speak a clear language. Today we have over 200 cafés fewer than in 2017.
\n\n20 November 2025 — stating the movement of the unemployment rate since September 2023
\n\n\nZënter September 2023 huet sech den Taux de chômage awer kontinuéierlech vu 5,5 % op eebe bal 6 % am Oktober dëst Joer beweegt.
\n
Since September 2023 the unemployment rate has moved continuously from 5.5% to almost 6% in October this year.
\n\n30 April 2026 — the rapporteur stating the total public investment in the bill
\n\n\nKonkreet gesäit de Projet fir d’Period vun 2026 bis 2029 ëffentlech Investissementer vir, an zwar sinn dat am Ganze ronn 265 Milliounen Euro.
\n
Concretely, the bill provides for public investment for the period 2026 to 2029, namely about 265 million euros in total.
\n\n16 January 2024 — stating what the bill provides
\n\n\nHaut leeë mer also fest, datt kee Feierdag verluer geet, mee datt deen zweete Feierdag mat engem zousätzleche Congésdag soll kompenséiert ginn.
\n
So today we lay down that no public holiday is lost, but that the second public holiday is to be compensated with an extra day of leave.
\n\n23 January 2025 — stating the existing legal position on heat and outdoor work
\n\n\nMir hunn hei zu Lëtzebuerg zwar kee Congé canicule, mee Entreprisen, deenen hir Chantieren am Fräie sinn, kënnen op de Chômage involontaire dû aux intempéries zréckgräifen.
\n
Here in Luxembourg we have no heatwave leave, but companies whose building sites are outdoors can fall back on involuntary unemployment due to bad weather.
\n\n4 March 2025 — stating that the bill secures employees' rights in cross-border operations
\n\n\nDëse Gesetzesprojet assuréiert dofir, datt am Fall vun deene grenziwwerschreidenden Operatiounen d’Rechter vun de Salariéë respektéiert ginn.
\n
This bill therefore makes sure that in the case of those cross-border operations the rights of the employees are respected.
\n\n29 April 2025 — reporting the sector's complaint that the labour inspectorate checks at peak hours
\n\n\nAus dem Horeca-Secteur héiert een dann och – an d’Stéphanie Weydert huet et betount –, datt d’ITM deelweis Kontrollen zu Spëtzenzäiten duerchféiert, souzesoen, wann d’Kichen am Damp ass.
\n
From the Horeca sector you also hear - and Stephanie Weydert stressed it - that the ITM partly carries out inspections at peak times, so to speak when the kitchen is steaming.
\n\n20 December 2023 — justifying the provisional budget by the time the government needs
\n\n\nD’Regierung brauch also och hei déi néideg Zäit, fir de Staatsbudget vum Joer 2024 a Rou opzestellen.
\n
So here too the government needs the time it requires to draw up the 2024 State budget calmly.
\n\n24 April 2024 — setting out how the deficit should be reduced
\n\n\nDowéinst musse mer virsiichteg virgoen: Fir de Staatsdefizit ze reduzéieren, mussen d’Depensë méi lues klamme wéi d’Recetten.
\n
That is why we must proceed carefully: to reduce the state deficit, spending has to rise more slowly than revenue.
\n\n17 December 2025 — stating that the central state runs deficits while public debt stays within limits
\n\n\nLëtzebuerg huet och Defiziter am Zentralstaat, ass awer nach an der glécklecher Lag, seng ëffentlech Verschëldung a Grenzen ze halen.
\n
Luxembourg also has deficits in the central state, but it is still in the fortunate position of keeping its public debt within limits.
\n\n16 June 2026 — stating the fund's reported return for 2025
\n\n\nGleeft ee rezenten Informatiounen iwwert d’Entwécklung vum Verméige vum Fonds souverain intergénérationnel du Luxembourg, sou huet dësen d’Joer 2025 mat enger Renditt vun 2,61 % ofgeschloss, wat engem Gewënn vun 20,3 Milliounen Euro entsprieche géif.
\n
If recent information on how the assets of the Fonds souverain intergenerationnel du Luxembourg have developed is to be believed, the fund closed 2025 with a return of 2.61 %, which would correspond to a profit of 20.3 million euro.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nEt ass awer och essenziell, dass wärend der Zäit, wou d’Gesondheetsdate vun der Assurance conservéiert ginn, d’Confidentialitéit vun dësen Donnéeën zu all Moment garantéiert ass. Dat ass fir meng Fraktioun jiddefalls eng absolutt Noutwendegkeet.
\n
It is essential that, for as long as the insurer keeps the health data, the confidentiality of that data is guaranteed at all times. For my group this is an absolute necessity.
\n\n\nD’DP setzt sech, sou wéi et am Koalitiounsaccord steet, fir en Ausbau vun den nohaltegen Energien an.
\n
The DP is committed, as the coalition agreement states, to expanding sustainable energy.
\n\n\nDe Gesetzestext gesäit dann och vir, de Montant absolu vun der Aide pro Entreprise op 100.000 Euro eropzesetzen.
\n
The text of the law also provides for raising the absolute amount of the aid per company to 100,000 euros.
\n\n\nFir d’DP soll a muss de Pensiounsfong säi Kurs a Richtung méi Nohaltegkeet weiderféieren.
\n
For the DP, the pension fund should and must continue its course towards more sustainability.
\n\n\nOch meng Fraktioun, d’DP, wëll, datt eis iwwer Joerzéngte gewuesse Bausubstanz an eis ëffentlech Plazen an den Dierfer erëm neit Liewe kréien.
\n
My group, the DP, also wants our building stock that has grown over decades and our public spaces in the villages to be given new life.
\n\n\nDo steet ze liesen, datt tëscht 2015 an 2022 de Finanzéierungsbedarf vun den Entwécklungslänner ëm 36 % geklomm ass.
\n
It says there that between 2015 and 2022 the financing need of developing countries rose by 36%.
\n\n\nAn de leschte Woche schéngt d’Zuel vun den Abréch zouzehuelen. Dat ass emol d’Gefill vun de Leit, zemools an dëser Joreszäit, wou et jo bekanntlech manner hell ass.
\n
In recent weeks the number of burglaries seems to be rising. That at least is what people feel, especially at this time of year, when there is less daylight.
\n\n\nEsou gesäit dëse Projet vir, d’Zuel vun de Memberen am Verwaltungsrot vun dräi op fënnef eropzesetzen, wat zu enger méi breeder Gouvernance féiert.
\n
So this bill provides for raising the number of members of the board from three to five, which leads to broader governance.
