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. We are creating an instrument that gives little David the possibility to prevail in court against big Goliath in the event of damage.</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>, <a href=\"/lhoft?page=deputies%2Fstephanie-weydert\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"deputies/stephanie-weydert\">Stéphanie Weydert</a>, CSV</p>\n<p>Paulette Lenert (LSAP), saying the text does not go far enough and calling for a bolder model of collective action:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Haut am Beräich vun der Sammelklo hätt ech mir deemno vläicht och e bësselche méi e couragéierte Gesetzestext gewënscht, e Modell vu Sammelklo, deen eng kloer Haltung zum Ausdrock bréngt, eng Haltung fir Gerechtegkeet an e konsequente Kräfteausgläich um Marché.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>On collective action today, I would have wished for a somewhat bolder legal text, a model of collective action that expresses a clear stance, a stance for justice and for a consistent balance of forces on the market.</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>, Paulette Lenert, LSAP</p>\n<p>Alexandra Schoos (ADR), criticising the bill for a lack of clarity and practical workability:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Den aktuellen Text iwwerzeegt eis awer eeben net am Hibléck op d’Kloerheet an d’Effizienz bezéiungsweis d’Praxistauglechkeet.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>The present text does not convince us as regards clarity and efficiency, or its usability in practice.</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>, <a href=\"/lhoft?page=deputies%2Falexandra-schoos\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"deputies/alexandra-schoos\">Alexandra Schoos</a>, ADR</p>\n<h2>Votes</h2>\n<h3>Main vote: PL 7650 - Protection intérêts consommateurs</h3>\n<p>30 October 2025 — Premier vote constitutionnel.</p>\n<table><thead><tr><th>Party</th><th style=\"text-align: right;\">For</th><th style=\"text-align: right;\">Against</th><th style=\"text-align: right;\">Abstain</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"/lhoft?page=parties%2Fcsv\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"parties/csv\">CSV</a></td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">21</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"/lhoft?page=parties%2Fdp\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"parties/dp\">DP</a></td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">14</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"/lhoft?page=parties%2Flsap\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"parties/lsap\">LSAP</a></td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">12</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"/lhoft?page=parties%2Fadr\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"parties/adr\">ADR</a></td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">5</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"/lhoft?page=parties%2Fdei-greng\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"parties/dei-greng\">déi gréng</a></td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">4</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"/lhoft?page=parties%2Fpiraten\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"parties/piraten\">Piraten</a></td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">2</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"/lhoft?page=parties%2Fdei-lenk\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"parties/dei-lenk\">déi Lénk</a></td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">2</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">0</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Total</strong></td><td style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>60</strong></td><td style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>0</strong></td><td style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>0</strong></td></tr></tbody></table>\n<p>No deputy voted against the majority of their party in this vote.</p>"}
