June 2025 — welcoming the simplification of procedures brought by the reform</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Dowéinst si mir frou, datt elo mat der Reform vum Artikel 29bis d’Prozedure fir eng Rëtsch Acteure vereinfacht ginn.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>That is why we are glad that, with the reform of Article 29bis, the procedures are now simplified for a whole range of actors.</em></p>\n<p><a

of the calculation</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Am aktuelle Regimm fléissen d’Revenuen, déi net zu Lëtzebuerg besteiert ginn, net an d’Rechnung beim Calcul vun den Hëllefen, déi de Stot zegutt huet.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>Under the current regime, income that is not taxed in Luxembourg does not enter the calculation of the aid a household is entitled to.</em></p>\n<p><a

panels</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Dofir kënne mir och d’Kritick net gëlle loossen, dass d’Erofsetze bei den Hëllefe vun 62,5 % op 50 % d’Nofro an deem Beräich wäert reduzéieren.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>That is why we cannot accept the criticism that lowering the aid from 62.5 % to 50 % will reduce demand in that field.</em></p>\n<p><a

desertification COP and welcoming its funding</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Schlussendlech ass op der COP16 fir d’Lutte géint d’Desertifikatioun zwar keen Accord fonnt ginn, ma d’DP begréisst awer, dass 12 Milliarden Dollar un Initiativen an déi Länner ginn, déi am meeschte vun der Waasserknappheet betraff sinn.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>In the end no agreement was found at COP16 on the fight against desertification, but the DP welcomes that 12 billion dollars go to initiatives in the countries most affected by water scarcity.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-01-22-n061\"

highlighted</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mir als DP fannen, dass een duerchaus awer och soll verschidde positiv Elementer vun der COP30 ervirhiewen.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>We of the DP find that some positive elements of COP30 should also be highlighted.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-12-02-n111\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-12-02-n111\">Sitting of 2 December 2025</a></p>\n<h2>Energy supply and energy prices</h2>\n<p>7 May 2024 — calling massive investment in sustainable energy research indispensable</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Dowéinst si mir der Meenung, dass massiv Investitiounen a Fuerschungen am Beräich vun den nohaltegen Energien onëmgänglech sinn, fir Lëtzebuerg schnellstméiglech klimaneutral ze maachen an eis Ofhängegkeet vun Energieimporter ze reduzéieren.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>That is why we are of the opinion that massive investments and research in the field of sustainable energies are indispensable, to make Luxembourg climate neutral as fast as possible and to reduce our dependence on energy imports.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2024-05-07-n024\" class=\"wikiLink\"

wéi gesot, déi fruchtbaarste Biedem an déi beschten Agrarfläche weiderhi prioritär fir d’Liewensmëttelproduktioun gebraucht ginn an net fir d’Energieproduktioun.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>For the DP, as I said, the most fertile soils and the best farmland must continue to be used primarily for food production and not for energy production.</em></p>\n<p><a

Bei de Gebaier soll d’Fotovoltaik op den Diecher de Standard ginn.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>Photovoltaics play a very large role in tomorrow’s electricity grid. On buildings, photovoltaics on the roofs should become the standard.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-10-30-n105\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-10-30-n105\">Sitting of 30 October 2025</a></p>\n<h2>Agriculture and food</h2>\n<p>1 February 2024 — setting out his party's more open position on category 1 plants</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Bei der Kategorie 1 gesi mir dëst méi nuancéiert, well effektiv dës nei Techniken en enormen Ziichtungsfortschrëtt garantéieren an dëst en Outil ass, fir d’Planze méi resilient ze maachen.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>On category 1 we see this in a more nuanced way, because these new techniques do guarantee an enormous breeding advance and this is a tool to make plants more resilient.</em></p>\n<p><a

definition should not be watered down further</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Eis ass awer virun allem och wichteg ze soen, dass den Artikel 1 an Zukunft net weider soll verwässert ginn.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>Above all it is important for us to say that Article 1 should not be watered down any further in future.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2024-11-21-n047\"

Konsument.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>Yes, with this law we anchor a single EU framework for our food chains, that means from the farmer to the consumer.</em></p>\n<p><a

criticising the motion for creating unfair competition for Luxembourg farmers</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A grad mat där heiter Motioun gi mer eigentlech eng onfair Konkurrenzsituatioun schafen zwëschent de lëtzebuergesche Baueren an deenen, déi direkt hei ronderëm leien, an der Belsch, a Frankräich a sou weider.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>And with this very motion we would actually create unfair competition between Luxembourg farmers and those right next door, in Belgium, in France and so on.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-03-18-n070\" class=\"wikiLink\"

south</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Do kann een entweeder iwwert d’Gewiichtung vun den Ekopunkten nodenke respektiv iwwer eng Solidaritéit am ganze Land, dass mer zum Beispill och kënnen am nërdlechen Deel vum Land kompenséieren, wann am Süde gebaut gëtt.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>One can either think about the weighting of the eco-points, or about a country-wide solidarity, so that we can for example also compensate in the northern part of the country when building takes place in the south.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-06-26-n091\" class=\"wikiLink\"

ee sech och ëmmer bewosst sinn, dass, wann een dat eent verbitt, een dat anert eventuell ka verschlëmmeren.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>That means you must always be aware that, if you ban one thing,
