\nSittings: Sitting of 18 December 2025, Sitting of 18 December 2025
\nDebate on bill 8479, which introduces the online application for full unemployment benefit at the ADEM; after objections from the Council of State the committee added a paper application, free equipment and personal help on site, and the Chamber adopted the bill by 54 votes to 5, with the LuxTrust outage of that week raised in the debate.
\nStéphanie Weydert (CSV), setting out her party’s condition that digitalisation must not exclude anyone:
\n\n\nMee – an dat ass fir d’CSV geneesou wichteg – d’Digitaliséierung däerf ni brutal, ausschléissend oder entmënschlecht sinn.
\n
But – and this matters just as much to the CSV – digitalisation must never be brutal, exclusionary or dehumanising.
\nSitting of 18 December 2025, Stéphanie Weydert, CSV
\nCarole Hartmann (DP), stating that a paper application stays available for people without digital access:
\n\n\nFir déi Leit wäert et och an Zukunft méiglech sinn, hir Demande op Pabeier ze maachen.
\n
For those people it will still be possible in future to make their application on paper.
\nSitting of 18 December 2025, Carole Hartmann, DP

\n
The LSAP welcomes this bill and will also vote for it.
