Carole Hartmann is a member of the Chamber of Deputies for DP in the Circonscription Est, with a mandate that started on 2023-10-24.
\n19 March 2024 — calling for better public information about obesity to end stigmatisation
\n\n\nD’Gesellschaft muss dohier besser iwwert d’Komplexitéit vun Adipositas opgekläert ginn, fir der Stigmatiséierung en Enn ze setzen, déi d’Situatioun oft just verschlëmmert.
\n
Society must therefore be better informed about the complexity of obesity, to put an end to the stigmatisation that often only makes the situation worse.
\n\n18 November 2025 — stating her party's demand for better mental-health support for health staff
\n\n\nDofir seet d’DP ganz kloer, datt d’mental Gesondheet vum Gesondheetspersonal muss gestäerkt ginn, well och hiert Wuelbefannen immens wichteg ass.
\n
That is why the DP says very clearly that the mental health of health staff must be strengthened, because their well-being too is enormously important.
\n\n3 December 2025 — stating her party's position on privatisation and tariffs
\n\n\nMir sinn net fir eng Privatiséierung vum Gesondheetssystem mat willkürlechen Tariffer, bei där een eng Zwouklassegesellschaft verstäerke géif.
\n
We are not in favour of a privatisation of the health system with arbitrary tariffs, which would reinforce a two-class society.
\n\n20 May 2026 — pointing to measures already announced by the government
\n\n\nSouwuel de Premier wéi och d’Madamm Ministesch hunn an dësem Beräich awer verschidde Mesüren annoncéiert.
\n
Both the prime minister and the minister have announced several measures in this area.
\n\n20 November 2025 — stating the size of the assets held in Luxembourg funds
\n\n\nMat ronn 6 Billiounen, déi Enn September an de Fongen hei am Land investéiert waren, schwätze mir vun engem Verméigen, dat bal 70-mol de PIB vun eisem Land ausmécht.
\n
With around 6 trillion invested in funds in this country at the end of September, we are talking about assets that amount to almost 70 times our country's GDP.
\n\n17 June 2026 — stating a fact about FATF evaluations of Luxembourg
\n\n\nLëtzebuerg gehéiert zu deene Länner, déi reegelméisseg Evaluatioune vum GAFI hunn.
\n
Luxembourg is one of the countries that have regular FATF evaluations.
\n\n25 April 2024 — arguing that the PNEC targets contradict the motion's demand
\n\n\nDat heescht, do hu mer Objektiver, déi konträr sinn zu der Fuerderung, déi hei an der Motioun vun der ADR steet, nämlech Objektiver vun enger Reduzéierung vun den CO2-Emissiounen, vun enger Dekarboniséierung hin zu méi erneierbaren Energien.
\n
That means we have targets that run counter to the demand in the ADR's motion, namely targets of reducing CO2 emissions and of decarbonisation towards more renewable energies.
\n\n12 June 2024 — welcoming the retained housing climate bonus top-ups and the pre-financing of photovoltaics
\n\n\nDowéinst begréisse mir, datt d’Top-ups beim Klimabonus Wunne bleiwen, zum Beispill fir nei Wärmepompelen a Sanéierungen, an datt d’nächst Joer d’Virfinanzéierung fir d’Fotovoltaik kënnt.
\n
That is why we welcome the fact that the top-ups in the housing climate bonus stay, for example for new heat pumps and renovations, and that pre-financing for photovoltaics comes next year.
\n\n25 June 2025 — stating that the war in Ukraine showed the need to reduce energy dependence
\n\n\nDen Ukrain-Krich huet nach eng Kéier ënnerstrach, wéi wichteg et ass, eis Onofhängegkeet vun anere Länner am Beräich vun der Energie auszebauen an och manner ofhängeg ze gi vu fossillen Energien.
\n
The war in Ukraine underlined once again how important it is to build up our independence from other countries in the energy field and to become less dependent on fossil energy.
\n\n10 December 2024 — stating how many vessels are blocked on the upper Moselle
\n\n\nLaut dem Service de la navigation fluviale zu Gréiwemaacher sinn aktuell 70 Schëffer op der ieweschter Musel blockéiert a kënne wärend de kommende Méint net méi beweegt ginn.
\n
According to the river navigation service in Grevenmacher, 70 vessels are currently blocked on the upper Moselle and cannot be moved for the coming months.
\n\n21 January 2025 — advising her group to vote against the motion
\n\n\nEch géif doduerjer menger Fraktioun proposéieren, dës Motioun hei net matzedroen.
\n
I would therefore propose to my group not to support this motion.
\n\n29 October 2025 — stating the party's support for the end of the combustion engine
\n\n\nAls DP sti mir dofir och kloer a weiderhin hannert dem Aus vun dem Verbrennermotor.
\n
As the DP we therefore continue to stand clearly behind the end of the combustion engine.
\n\n27 February 2024 — presenting the report and stating what the bill extends
\n\n\nAn dësem Sënn ass d’Zil vun dësem Gesetzesprojet, deen ech Iech elo presentéieren, d’Durée vu bestëmmten Energiemesüren ëm weider sechs Méint, dat heescht, bis zum 30. Juni dëst Joer, ze verlängeren.
\n
In this sense the aim of this bill, which I am presenting to you, is to extend the duration of certain energy measures by a further six months, that is until 30 June this year.
\n\n4 December 2024 — arguing market prices have normalised enough to end the caps on heating fuels
\n\n\nD’Präisser sinn normal genuch, fir den Energiepräisdeckel, op d’mannst beim Masutt, de Pellets, der Fernwärme an dem Gas, auslafen ze loossen.
\n
Prices are normal enough to let the energy price cap expire, at least for heating oil, pellets, district heating and gas.
\n\n20 March 2025 — stating the projected rise in hydrogen consumption by 2030
\n\n\nD’Consommatioun, déi aktuell bei 15 Gigawattstonne vu fossillem Hydrogène läit, soll bis 2030 230 Gigawattstonne vun erneierbarem Hydrogène erreechen.
\n
Consumption, which currently stands at 15 gigawatt hours of fossil hydrogen, is to reach 230 gigawatt hours of renewable hydrogen by 2030.
\n\n20 May 2026 — asking the Chamber not to pre-empt the tripartite talks with a vote
\n\n\nAn dofir géif ech och suggeréieren, dass mer d’Sozialpartner lo sollten zu deenen eenzelne Sujeten an notamment och zu den Energiesujeten diskutéiere loossen an dass mir elo hei net sollten zu engem Vott iwwergoen, dee schonn dat eent oder dat anert géif virschreiwen.
\n
And so I would suggest that we let the social partners discuss the individual subjects, and notably the energy subjects, and that we do not now proceed to a vote that would already prescribe one thing or another.
\n\n12 June 2024 — stating that wealth must be created before it can be distributed
\n\n\nNëmme wa Wuelstand geschaaft gëtt, kann och eppes verdeelt ginn.
\n
Only if prosperity is created can anything be distributed.
\n\n13 February 2025 — proposing that her group does not support the motion at this stage
\n\n\nAn aus dëse Grënn géif ech och der Fraktioun vun der Demokratescher Partei proposéieren, dës Motioun à ce stade net matzedroen.
\n
And for these reasons I would also propose to the Democratic Party group not to support this motion at this stage.
\n\n5 March 2026 — arguing that a national tripartite is not needed because the sector's own tripartite works
\n\n\nEch mengen net, dass et an där Situatioun, wou mer eng fonctionéierend Tripartitt an dësem Secteur hunn, néideg ass, eng national Tripartitt anzeberuffen.
\n
I do not think that in a situation where we have a functioning tripartite in this sector, it is necessary to convene a national tripartite.
\n\n28 April 2026 — supporting the tripartite announced by the prime minister as the right instrument to cushion price rises
\n\n\nD’Tripartitt, déi vum Premier annoncéiert gouf, ass dofir dat richtegt Instrument, fir konkreet op dës Entwécklungen ze reagéieren, fir d’Auswierkunge vun de Präisser ofzefiederen, d’Kafkraaft vun de Leit ze erhalen an de Betriber Sécherheet a Perspektiven ze ginn.
\n
The tripartite announced by the prime minister is therefore the right instrument to react concretely to these developments, to cushion the effects of prices, to preserve people's purchasing power and to give companies security and perspectives.
\n\n16 May 2024 — correcting the claim that a lawyer becomes compulsory at first instance
\n\n\nEt ass net esou, dass een an éischter Instanz, wann ee virun de Conseil arbitral geet, sech muss vun engem Affekot vertriede loossen.
\n
It is not the case that at first instance, when you go before the Conseil arbitral, you have to be represented by a lawyer.
\n\n13 November 2024 — announcing her group's position against the ADR motion
\n\n\nEch proposéiere menger Fraktioun, dass mir déi Motioun vun der ADR net matdroen.
\n
I propose to my group that we do not support the ADR motion.
\n\n30 October 2025 — stating her party's position against a blanket ban on gambling in a new legal framework
\n\n\nWa mer da bei engem neien oder engem ugepasste Cadre légal sinn, ass et fir eis als Demokratesch Partei kloer, dass Glécksspiller net pauschal solle verbuede ginn.
\n
When we come to a new or adapted legal framework, it is clear for us as the Democratic Party that gambling should not be banned across the board.
\n\n17 June 2026 — arguing the motion comes too early
\n\n\nEt schéngt eis dowéinster ze fréi, fir schonn elo de Suivi an d’Evaluatioun ze definéieren, obwuel de gesetzleche Kader nach net definitiv feststeet.
\n
It therefore seems too early to us to define the monitoring and the evaluation already now, while the legal framework is not yet settled.
\n\n26 June 2024 — asking that the new rules be explained on the ground, including to private households
\n\n\nEt ass wichteg, dass hei elo déi néideg Informatiounen um Terrain ukommen, och bei de Privatstéit, fir dass déi heiten nei Reegelen och kënnen ëmgesat ginn.
\n
It is important that the necessary information now reaches the ground, including private households, so that these new rules can be applied.
\n\n14 May 2025 — welcoming the Prime Minister's statement on the exclusivity of collective bargaining
\n\n\nMir begréissen dës Ausso ausdrécklech, déi dës Exklusivitéit fir d’Verhandele vun de Kollektivverträg nach eemol ënnermauert.
\n
We expressly welcome this statement, which once again underpins this exclusivity for negotiating collective agreements.
\n\n2 April 2025 — presenting the bill as bringing the law into line with today's realities
\n\n\nMat dësem Gesetzesprojet passe mir also den Text de Realitéite vun haut un an droen domadder dozou bäi, Lëtzebuerg als Land gesellschaftspolitesch nach méi modern ze maachen.
\n
With this bill we therefore adapt the text to the realities of today and so help to make Luxembourg an even more socially modern country.
\n\n30 April 2026 — recalling what the joint committee heard about measures taken since 2010
\n\n\nMee mir hunn do och driwwer geschwat, wat sech säit 2010 gedoen huet a wat an all deene leschte Jore gemaach gouf, fir dass et zu méi Signalementer kënnt, fir dass et zu méi Kontrolle kënnt a fir dass et och virun allem zu méi Poursuitte kënnt.
\n
But we also spoke there about what has happened since 2010 and what has been done in all these last years, so that there are more reports, more checks and above all more prosecutions.
\n\n16 May 2024 — recalling the coalition agreement's position on nuclear energy and closing Cattenom
\n\n\nDe Koalitiounsaccord, deen huet eng ganz kloer Sprooch geschwat, wat d’Énergie nucléaire an och eng Fermeture vun notamment der Zentral vu Cattenom ugeet.
\n
The coalition agreement spoke very clear language on nuclear energy and also on closing the Cattenom plant in particular.
\n\n13 February 2025 — stating her party's opposition to nuclear power
\n\n\nAn eis Partei ass géint d’Atomenergie a wäert sech och beméien, fir dass mir an eisem direkten Ëmfeld ronderëm eist klengt Land keng nei Atomzentralen an och generell keng Atomzentrale méi stoe mussen hunn.
\n
And our party is against nuclear energy and will also work to make sure that in our immediate surroundings around our small country we no longer have to have any new nuclear plants, and generally no nuclear plants at all.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nDuerfir géif ech menger Fraktioun recommandéieren, déi Motioun vun der Majoritéit hei matzedroen an d’Motioun vun der Oppositioun hei ofzeleenen.
\n
I would therefore recommend to my group that they support the majority motion here and reject the opposition motion.
\n\n\nMir wëllen der Tripartitt net virgräifen. Dowéinst schwätze mer elo net iwwer Mesüren, déi potentiell kéinten decidéiert ginn.
\n
We do not want to pre-empt the tripartite. That is why we are not talking now about measures that might be decided.
\n\n\nD’Mëttel, déi agesat ginn, fir privat Kommunikatiounen ze kontrolléieren, mussen trotzdeem verhältnisméisseg bleiwen, fir d’Rechter vu jidder Eenzelnem an notamment d’Recht op Privatsphär ze respektéieren.
\n
The means used to control private communication must nevertheless stay proportionate, so as to respect the rights of every individual and in particular the right to privacy.
\n\n\nDer EU-Kommissioun no kéinten d’Propositiounen aus dem Omnibuspaquet eng Reduktioun vu 6,5 Milliarden Euro pro Joer un administrative Käschte fir d’Entreprisë bedeiten.
\n
According to the European Commission, the proposals in the Omnibus package could mean a reduction of 6.5 billion euro per year in administrative costs for companies.
\n\n\nDowéinst gëtt et och elo – an ech soe kloer: à ce stade! – nach kee Grond, direkt ze intervenéieren an hei Staatshëllefen oder Mesüren anzeféieren.
\n
That is why there is no reason at this stage, and I say clearly at this stage, to intervene immediately and introduce state aid or measures here.
\n\n\nD’Affär Caritas däerf dem ganzen associative Secteur elo net d’Liewe vum Prinzipp hier méi schwéier maachen.
\n
The Caritas affair must not now make life harder in principle for the whole associative sector.
\n\n\nFir déi Leit wäert et och an Zukunft méiglech sinn, hir Demande op Pabeier ze maachen.
\n
For those people it will still be possible in future to make their application on paper.
\n\n\nTrotzdeem huet och hei de Kooperatiounsministère, d’Regierung, et hikritt, dass d’Majoritéit vun dëse Projeten iwwerholl gouf.
\n
Even so, the Cooperation Ministry, the government, managed here too to get the majority of these projects taken over.
\n\n\nDës Mesüre wäerten deemno de Marché vun de Chargeuren harmoniséieren, wouduerch den elektroneschen Offall ka limitéiert an d’Ëmwelt nohalteg geschützt ginn.
\n
These measures will therefore harmonise the charger market, through which electronic waste can be limited and the environment sustainably protected.
\n\n\nFir d’DP zielen d’Recht op Selbstbestëmmung a kierperlech Autonomie zu eise politeschen Iwwerzeegungen, fir déi mir eis zanter Joerzéngte kontinuéierlech asetzen.
\n
For the DP, the right to self-determination and bodily autonomy is one of our political convictions, which we have worked for continuously for decades.
\n\n\nRéckbléckend si mir dohier als Demokratesch Partei der Meenung, dass d’Krisegestioun – vun der Regierung, vun der Caritas, vum Comité de crise, jo vu PwC – als Ganzt eng wierklech gutt war.
\n
Looking back, we as the Democratic Party think the crisis management, by the government, by Caritas, by the crisis committee and by PwC, was as a whole really good.
\n\n\nHien huet an eisen Aen de richtege Wee geholl, andeems hie mat de Sozialpartner a Kontakt war, fir dëse wichtege Sujet unzeschwätzen an duerno dann och en Text ze deposéieren.
\n
In our view he took the right road, by being in contact with the social partners in order to raise this important subject and then also to table a text.
