\nSittings: Sitting of 26 June 2025
\nThe Chamber debated and adopted bill 8525, which extends from 7 to 15 years the deadline for carrying out nature compensation measures under the 2018 nature protection law, by 56 votes with 4 abstentions.
\nLuc Emering (DP), proposing to rethink eco-point weighting or to allow compensation in the north for building in the south:
\n\n\nDo kann een entweeder iwwert d’Gewiichtung vun den Ekopunkten nodenke respektiv iwwer eng Solidaritéit am ganze Land, dass mer zum Beispill och kënnen am nërdlechen Deel vum Land kompenséieren, wann am Süde gebaut gëtt.
\n
One can either think about the weighting of the eco-points, or about a country-wide solidarity, so that we can for example also compensate in the northern part of the country when building takes place in the south.
\nSitting of 26 June 2025, Luc Emering, DP
\nFranz Fayot (LSAP), defending the principle that compensation should happen in the region where building takes place:
\n\n\nTrotzdeem sti mir weiderhin och hannert dem Prinzipp, dass mer an deene Regiounen, wou gebaut gëtt, och solle kompenséieren.
\n
Nevertheless we still stand behind the principle that we should compensate in the regions where building takes place.
\nSitting of 26 June 2025, Franz Fayot, LSAP
\nJeff Engelen (ADR), citing a figure, given by the planning minister in 2013, for the land consumed each year in Luxembourg:
\n\n\nAll Joer gëtt zu Lëtzebuerg eng Fläch verbraucht, déi ronn 240 Foussballfelder entsprécht.
\n
Every year in Luxembourg an area equal to about 240 football pitches is used up.
