\n10 July 2024 — regretting that the negotiations were closed without the APCCA union of the competence-centre staff
\n\n\nMir bedaueren allerdéngs als CSV, dass dës Verhandlungen ouni d’Gewerkschaft fir d’Personal aus de Kompetenzzenteren, d’APCCA vum SEW, ofgeschloss gi sinn, obschonns dee gréissten Deel vun dësem Personal betraff ass.
\n
As the CSV, we regret that these negotiations were closed without the union of the competence-centre staff, the APCCA of the SEW, even though most of this staff is concerned.
\n\n24 June 2025 — describing what the reform of the brevet de maîtrise changes
\n\n\nD’Reform vum Brevet de maîtrise moderniséiert d’Meeschterausbildung, fir se méi attraktiv an zougänglech ze maachen a se besser un d’Realitéite vum Handwierk unzepassen.
\n
The reform of the brevet de maîtrise modernises master craftsman training, to make it more attractive and accessible and to adapt it better to the realities of the craft trades.
\n\n19 March 2024 — arguing that action on a sugar tax must be taken at European level
\n\n\nMir fannen et aus deem Grond als CSV wichteg, hei op europäeschem Plang unzesetzen, fir Erfolleg ze hunn.
\n
For that reason we in the CSV think it is important to act at European level, in order to have success.
\n\n20 March 2025 — proposing restrictions on food advertising aimed at children
\n\n\nFir eis als CSV wier et wichteg, eis Kanner a Jugendlecher virun esou Reklammen ze schützen, virun allem iwwer Restriktiounen op Social Media.
\n
For us as the CSV it would be important to protect our children and young people from such advertising, above all through restrictions on social media.
\n\n21 January 2025 — advising his group to vote against the motion
\n\n\nAn dofir géif ech menger Fraktioun roden, dës Motioun net ze stëmmen.
\n
And that is why I would advise my group not to vote for this motion.
\n\n10 July 2025 — arguing for investment in charging infrastructure as a way to lower the price of alternative energy carriers
\n\n\nFir eis ass et wichteg, an Infrastruktur ze investéieren, well domat stelle mer sécher, dass de Präis vun den alternativen Energieträger, vun der elektrescher Mobilitéit, awer och vum Waasserstoff, erofgeet.
\n
For us it is important to invest in infrastructure, because that is how we make sure the price of alternative energy carriers, of electric mobility, and also of hydrogen, comes down.
\n\n29 October 2025 — stating that his group will not support a full withdrawal of the regulation
\n\n\nAn dofir stëmme mir engem komplette Réckzuch vun dësem Reglement am Moment net zou.

\n
For us as the CSV it is important that we put further photovoltaic installations first on roofs and sealed surfaces.
\n\n25 June 2025 — arguing that a European approach puts renewable production where it is efficient
\n\n\nWa mir dat hei op europäeschem Niveau uginn, erlaabt dat, dass d’Energie do produzéiert gëtt, wou et Sënn mécht, an zwar wou et effizient ass, déi erneierbar Energien auszebauen.
\n
If we tackle this at European level, that allows the energy to be produced where it makes sense, namely where it is efficient to build renewables.
\n\n20 May 2026 — refusing to commit to figures before the tripartite talks
\n\n\nDuerfir si mir elo net bereet, hei scho Verspriechungen ze maache mat Montanten an deem heite Fall.
\n
That is why we are not ready to make promises with amounts here and now in this case.
\n\n1 February 2024 — naming speed and precision as the advantage of the new breeding technique
\n\n\nWat ass elo dee grousse Virdeel vun dëser Technik? D’Technologie ass méi schnell a mir kënne méi geziilt ziichten.
\n
So what is the big advantage of this technique? The technology is faster and we can breed in a more targeted way.
\n\n20 March 2025 — stating that keeping farming capacity depends on having people willing to farm
\n\n\nFir d’Produktiounspotenzial vun der Landwirtschaft ze erhalen, ass et virun allem wichteg, dass mer Leit hunn, déi Loscht hunn, an der Landwirtschaft ze schaffen.
\n
To keep the production potential of agriculture, it is above all important that we have people who want to work in agriculture.
\n\n10 February 2026 — the rapporteur stating what the bill replaces
\n\n\nEt ass ze betounen, dass d’Gesetz déi aktuell Gesetzgeebung aus dem Joer 1912 ofléist, déi net méi den europäeschen an nationale Realitéite gerecht gëtt.
\n
It must be stressed that the law replaces the current legislation from 1912, which no longer meets European and national realities.
\n\n30 April 2026 — rejecting the food-waste motion in favour of the European directive and the national plan
\n\n\nDat gesot, géife mir eis hei un déi europäesch Direktiv halen an un déi Formatioun a Sensibiliséierung, déi virgesinn ass am Kader vum Plang, a géifen d’Motioun duerfir net unhuelen.
\n
That said, we would stick to the European directive and to the training and awareness work planned, and therefore we would not adopt the motion.
\n\n13 February 2025 — thanking Welfring for a motion that describes the Belgian plan to extend reactor lifetimes
\n\n\nMerci, Madamm Welfring, fir déi Motioun, wou Der déi nei Situatioun an der Belsch beschreift, dass d’Lafzäit vun den Atomkraaftwierker soll verlängert ginn.
\n
Thank you, Mrs Welfring, for this motion, in which you describe the new situation in Belgium, that the lifetime of the nuclear power stations is to be extended.
\n\n30 October 2025 — rejecting a further legal action against the EU taxonomy classification
\n\n\nMee d’Decisioun ass awer op EU-Niveau demokratesch getraff an och geriichtlech confirméiert, an domat muss een awer elo realpolitesch ëmgoen. Mir gesi kee Sënn dran, nach eemol ze kloen, well et ännert näischt.
\n
But the decision was taken democratically at EU level and confirmed by the court, and one has to deal with that in a realpolitik way. We see no point in going to court again, because it changes nothing.
\n\nOne recorded quote each, so these are single entries rather than timelines.
\n\n\nMir gesinn natierlech, dass mer lues a lues dohinnerkommen, mee mir brauchen eng Transitiounsphas, fir do d’Investissementer vun eise wichtege Pensiounen ofzesécheren.
\n
We see of course that we are slowly getting there, but we need a transition phase in order to secure the investments of our important pensions.
\n\n\nAn de Verhandlunge ronderëm den EU-Budget ass et wichteg, de Budget fir d’Liewensmëttelproduktioun ze halen oder souguer auszebauen.
\n
In the negotiations around the EU budget it is important to hold or even expand the budget for food production.
\n\n\nDat bedeit dann eng Steigerung vun 30 % fir den Duerchschnëttskonsument.
\n
That then means an increase of 30% for the average consumer.
\n\n\nD’Centrale gëtt ënnert der Form vun engem Établissement public geschaf, deen ënnert der Tutelle vum Gesondheetsministère steet.
\n
The central body is created in the form of a public establishment under the supervision of the health ministry.
\n\n\nLeider gëtt et eréischt néng där Coordinateurs sportifs; eng Initiativ, déi also sollt weiderentwéckelt ginn.
\n
Unfortunately there are only nine of these sports coordinators so far; an initiative that should therefore be developed further.
\n\n\nMir fannen also, dass d’Regierung hei aktiv ass, dass se de richtege Wee geet, fir fir d’éischt eng Diagnos ze maachen, ze kucken, wou d’Problemer sinn, an dann decidéiert ze agéieren.
\n
We therefore think the government is active here and is on the right path: first make a diagnosis, look at where the problems are, and then act decisively.
\n\n\nD’Roll vun der Politick ass net, d’Leit dozou ze bréngen, méi Kanner ze kréien, fir dës Zuelen ze verbesseren.
\n
The role of politics is not to bring people to have more children in order to improve these figures.
