\nSittings: Sitting of 27 February 2024
\nThe Chamber debated and adopted projet de loi 8282, approving the double taxation treaty with Cape Verde signed on 13 January 2022, by 58 votes to 2.
\nLaurent Mosar (CSV), presenting the treaty as an instrument of the country's competitiveness:
\n\n\nEch mengen, mir sinn eis och alleguerten eens, datt d’Duebelbesteierungsofkommes e wichtegt Instrument vun der Attraktivitéit a vun der Kompetitivitéit vun eiser lëtzebuergescher Wirtschaft ass.
\n
I think we all agree that the double taxation treaty is an important instrument of the attractiveness and competitiveness of our Luxembourg economy.
\nSitting of 27 February 2024, Laurent Mosar, CSV
\nFranz Fayot (LSAP), listing the sectors the treaty opens for cooperation with Cape Verde:
\n\n\nMat dësem Duebelbesteierungsofkommes maache mer effektiv déi Dieren op, fir souwuel an der Digitalisatioun, an den erneierbaren Energien, an de Startuppen – well am Cap Vert sinn och Startuppen – mat hinnen zesummenzeschaffen, awer och am Beräich vun de Fongen.
\n
With this double taxation treaty we really open the doors to work with them in digitalisation, renewable energies and startups, because there are startups in Cape Verde too, and also in the field of funds.
\nSitting of 27 February 2024, Franz Fayot, LSAP
\nFred Keup (ADR), giving his group's express support for the treaty:
\n\n\nMir begréissen natierlech als Fraktioun dëst Ofkommes hei ausdrécklech, an dat ëmsou méi, well mer jo haut scho kënnen dervu schwätzen, dass mer scho bal historesch gutt Relatiounen hu mat dem Cap Vert an och ganz gutt frëndschaftlech Relatioune mam Cap Vert.
\n
As a group we of course expressly welcome this treaty, all the more so because we can already speak today of almost historically good relations with Cape Verde and very good friendly relations with Cape Verde.
