it would make the legislative procedure more bureaucratic</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Bon, eis ass dat zwar vläicht ganz sympathesch, awer mir sinn der Meenung, datt een déi legislativ Prozedur an den Instanzewee net nach méi stengeg soll maachen an net nach méi soll verbürokratiséieren.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>Well, we may find it quite likeable, but we take the view that you should not make the legislative procedure and the chain of bodies even stonier and even more bureaucratic.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2024-05-16-n027\" class=\"wikiLink\"

regulation</h2>\n<p>23 January 2025 — stating that the financial centre and company law must stay attractive and competitive</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Et ass wichteg, datt eis Finanzplaz an och eisen Droit des sociétés attraktiv a kompetitiv bleiwen, an dat, obwuel mer grad wéi all déi aner europäesch Memberlänner déi selwecht Reegele musse respektéieren an den EU-Dossieren.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>It is important that our financial centre and our company law stay attractive and competitive, even though we have to respect the same rules as every other

d’Schlussliicht an et steet eis net gutt ze Gesiicht, wa mir bei esou essenzielle Sujete wéi der internationaler Mobilitéit vun de Gesellschaften hannendrun humpelen.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>Luxembourg is unfortunately the last country to transpose this directive, and it does not look good on us to limp behind on such essential subjects as the international mobility of companies.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-01-23-n062\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-01-23-n062\">Sitting of 23 January

maachen.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>The justice minister had already set the course before the summer for additional recruitment in the judiciary.</em></p>\n<p><a

reform and that a separate prison for minors is being planned</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mat der grousser Reform vum Jugendschutz an dem Schafe vum Jugendstrofrecht verfollege mir ganz kloer d’Zil, datt keng Mannerjäreger méi am Erwuesseneprisong mussen ënnerkommen, an en eegene Centre pénitentiaire fir Mineuren ass a Planung.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>With the big reform of youth protection and the creation of juvenile criminal law we clearly pursue the aim that no minors have to be held in the adult prison any more, and a separate prison for minors is being planned.</em></p>\n<p><a

that lets a single consumer take a large company to court</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mam Gesetz, wat mir haut stëmmen, stäerke mir de Konsumenteschutz. Mir schafen en Instrument, dat dem klengen David d’Méiglechkeet gëtt, sech am Fall vun engem Schued géint de grousse Goliath viru Geriicht duerchzesetzen.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>With the law we are voting today, we strengthen consumer protection.

class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-10-30-n105\">Sitting of 30 October 2025</a></p>\n<p>22 January 2026 — reporting that the bill sets general rules for searches balanced against the dignity of the prisoner</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Bei den Duerchsichungen definéiert de Gesetzesprojet allgemeng Reegelen, an hei gëllt et ëmmer, d’Proportionalitéit vun der Mesür mam Respekt vun der Mënschewierd vum Detenu ze garantéieren.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>For searches the bill defines general rules, and here it is always a matter of guaranteeing the proportionality of the measure together with

eenzel analyséiert gëtt an och eenzel consideréiert gëtt, dass hei net pauschal Decisioune geholl gi vis-à-vis vun deene vulnerabelste Mënschen, déi hei Asyl sichen.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>It is important that every application is analysed and considered individually, so that no blanket decisions are taken about the most vulnerable people who seek asylum here.</em></p>\n<p><a

migration policy</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Fir eis als CSV ass kloer: Eng verantwortungsvoll Migratiounspolitick brauch Mënschlechkeet, awer och Reegelen.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>For us as the CSV it is clear: a responsible migration policy needs humanity, but also rules.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2026-06-09-n145\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2026-06-09-n145\">Sitting of 9 June 2026</a></p>\n<h2>The European Union and trade</h2>\n<p>14 November 2024 — arguing that migration must be handled by a common EU policy rather than national border controls</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>De Migratiounsproblem léise mer awer net duerch individuell Grenzkontrollen am Banneraum vu Schengen, mee duerch eng gemeinsam EU-Politick.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>But we will not solve the migration problem through individual border controls inside the Schengen area, but through a common EU policy.</em></p>\n<p><a

matter</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Et ass eng existenziell Fro fir d’Zesummeliewen an der Grenzregioun, an eiser Groussregioun, fir Lëtzebuerg an de Wirtschaftsstanduert Lëtzebuerg, datt d’Grenzen innerhalb vum Schenge-Raum opbleiwen.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>It is an existential question for living together in the border region, in our Greater Region, for Luxembourg and for Luxembourg as a business location, that the borders inside the Schengen area stay open.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-02-13-n068\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-02-13-n068\">Sitting of 13 February 2025</a></p>\n<p>21 May 2026 — describing the greenwashing the directive targets</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mir wëssen alleguerten, datt vill Produiten haut mat de Begrëffer „gréng“, „ëmweltfrëndlech“ oder „nohalteg“ beworbe ginn, ouni datt dës Aussoe wierklech dann op de Produit zoutreffen, an dass se weeder noweisbar nach iwwerpréifbar sinn.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>We all know that many products today are advertised with the terms green, environmentally friendly or sustainable, without those claims really applying to the product and without them being provable or verifiable.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2026-05-21-n144\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2026-05-21-n144\">Sitting of 21 May 2026</a></p>\n<h2>Labour law and social dialogue</h2>\n<p>21 January 2025 — stating her party supports the exclusive right of trade unions to negotiate collective agreements</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>D’CSV steet zum Exklusivrecht vun de Gewerkschaften, fir Kollektivverträg ze verhandelen, an dat hu mer méi wéi eng Kéier bekräftegt.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>The CSV stands by the exclusive right of the trade unions to negotiate collective agreements, and we have confirmed that more than once.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-01-21-n059\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-01-21-n059\">Sitting of 21 January 2025</a></p>\n<p>4 March 2025 — stating what the bill does for employees in cross-border operations</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Léif alleguer, mat dësem Gesetz ginn d’Rechter vun den Employéë vun Entreprisen, déi an enger grenziwwerschreidender Fusioun, Scissioun oder Transformatioun implizéiert sinn, gestäerkt.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>Dear all, with this law the rights of the employees of companies involved in a cross-border merger, division or conversion are strengthened.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-03-04-n069\" class=\"wikiLink\"

ausdrécklech betounen, dass d’Anhale vum Aarbechtsrecht essentiel ass an datt d’Kontrolle wichteg sinn.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>Here I want to stress explicitly that compliance with labour law is essential and that inspections are important.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-04-29-n078\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-04-29-n078\">Sitting of 29 April 2025</a></p>\n<h2>Shop opening hours and Sunday work</h2>\n<p>23 January 2025 — arguing that changing the legal framework brings clarity for employees and businesses</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mir sinn der Meenung, dass d’Upassung vum juristesche Kader souwuel fir d’Ëffnungszäite wéi och fir d’Sonndesaarbecht Kloerheet souwuel fir d’Salariéë wéi och fir d’Betriber mat sech bréngt.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>We take the view that adapting the legal framework, for opening hours as well as for Sunday work, brings clarity for employees as well as for businesses.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-01-23-n063\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-01-23-n063\">Sitting of 23 January 2025</a></p>\n<p>18 December 2025 — rejecting the reading that the bill liberalises opening hours without limit</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Et ass kee Fräibréif fir eng onbegrenzte Liberaliséierung vun den Ëffnungszäiten.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>It is no blank cheque for an unlimited liberalisation of opening hours.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-12-18-n119\" class=\"wikiLink\"
