Bill 8648 (\"Consommation durable\"). The Chamber debated and voted it on 21 May 2026.
\nSittings: Sitting of 21 May 2026
\nProjet de loi 8648 transposing EU directive 2024/825, 'Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition', into the Code de la consommation, adopted unanimously by 60 votes to none, with dispensation from the second constitutional vote.
\nStéphanie Weydert (CSV), describing the greenwashing the directive targets:
\n\n\nMir wëssen alleguerten, datt vill Produiten haut mat de Begrëffer „gréng“, „ëmweltfrëndlech“ oder „nohalteg“ beworbe ginn, ouni datt dës Aussoe wierklech dann op de Produit zoutreffen, an dass se weeder noweisbar nach iwwerpréifbar sinn.
\n
We all know that many products today are advertised with the terms green, environmentally friendly or sustainable, without those claims really applying to the product and without them being provable or verifiable.
\nSitting of 21 May 2026, Stéphanie Weydert, CSV
\nGusty Graas (DP), citing a 2023 Eurobarometer figure on the weight of the ecological footprint in buying choices:
\n\n\nDeemools haten 73 % vun de Befrote gesot, datt den ekologesche Foussofdrock fir si ganz wichteg wär beim Choix vum Produit.
\n
At the time 73% of those surveyed said that the ecological footprint was very important to them when choosing a product.

\nPaulette Lenert (LSAP), stating what consumer protection should deliver:
\n\n\nMir wëlle Produite kënne kafen, ouni getäuscht ze ginn, ouni ugeschass ze ginn.
\n
We want to be able to buy products without being deceived, without being cheated.
