D’Liberatioun vum soziale Mindestkapital vun 12.000 Euro muss elo net méi integral direkt bei der Grënnung, mee innerhalb vun engem Joer geschéien.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>Concretely, this is about creating more flexibility when a SARL is set up. The paying up of the minimum capital of 12,000 euros no longer has to happen in full right at the incorporation, but within one year.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2026-04-28-n136\"

backing Luxembourg's part in EU and NATO defence efforts</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Gläichzäiteg si mir awer och der Meenung, datt eng Aféierung vun engem obligatoresche Militärdéngscht zu Lëtzebuerg fir de Moment net néideg ass.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>At the same time we also believe that introducing compulsory military service in Luxembourg is not needed for the moment.</em></p>\n<p><a

responsabelen an zouverlässegen Alliéierten a Partner muss droen an dowéinster méi a seng Verteidegung muss investéieren.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>The government has recognised the seriousness of
