Bill 8455 (\"Accord Suisse\"). The Chamber debated and voted it on 26 June 2025.
\nSittings: Sitting of 26 June 2025
\nThe Chamber discussed and adopted bill 8455 approving the Luxembourg–Switzerland accord on the mutual protection and exchange of classified information, by 58 votes to 2; several speakers used the debate to press for the pending law on the national security authority (ANS).
\nGusty Graas (DP), explaining as rapporteur why the accord is urgent:
\n\n\nMee aus dem ganz einfache Grond, well deen Accord hei ausschlaggeebend ass, fir eng Zesummenaarbecht mat der Schwäizer Arméi ze garantéieren.
\n
But for the very simple reason that this accord is decisive for guaranteeing cooperation with the Swiss army.

\nSam Tanson (déi gréng), asking a question about the text and recalling her group's request to convene the institutions committee on the ANS bill:
\n\n\nEch hätt just nach eng Fro par rapport zum Text, well, bon, mir hunn e Méinden och diesbezüglech eng Demande gemaach gehat, fir d’Institutiounskommissioun zesummenzeruffen, wou mer nach eng Kéier wëllen driwwer schwätzen, wéi de Projet de loi iwwert d’ANS (ndlr: Autorité nationale de sécurité) soll weidergoen.
\n
I just have one more question about the text, because on Monday we made a request to convene the institutions committee, where we want to talk once more about how the bill on the ANS (national security authority) should proceed.
\nSitting of 26 June 2025, Sam Tanson, déi gréng
\nSven Clement (Piraten), stating that Luxembourg still cannot issue security clearances as its own law foresees:
\n\n\nA mir sinn nach ëmmer – an dat ass jo och mëttlerweil e puermol an der Press diskutéiert ginn – net à même, déi Clearancen an deem Mooss auszestellen, wéi eist Gesetz et u sech virgesäit, well mer dat Gesetz vun der ANS zum Beispill net gestëmmt hunn.
\n
And we are still not able – and this has by now been discussed in the press several times – to issue the clearances to the extent that our law actually foresees, because we have not voted the ANS law, for example.
