Prime Minister Luc Frieden made a government declaration on Ukraine and European security after the Zelensky-Trump clash in the White House and the announced halt of US arms deliveries; the Chamber took note of the declaration and held a debate with one speaker per group, followed by the government's closing position and a question on frozen Russian assets, without a vote.
In the same declaration debate the Chamber discussed European rearmament, the Commission's \"ReArm Europe\" plan and how far Luxembourg should raise its own defence spending beyond the NATO 2% target; the Prime Minister announced consultations with every party represented in Parliament over the following two weeks and a further debate in committee after the extraordinary European Council.
Sam Tanson tabled a motion on the situation in eastern DR Congo asking the government to press Rwanda over its troops and to back targeted EU sanctions; the Foreign Minister first gave a statement denying press reports that Luxembourg had vetoed such sanctions, the party spokespeople replied, and the motion was adopted unanimously by 60 votes.
André Bauler put expanded question no. 35 on village development to the Agriculture Minister, who set out the 2023-2027 rural development support programme, the projects approved so far and the new village-developer posts in the LEADER regions; no vote was held.
The Chamber debated and voted bill 8225, which transposes the workers' rights part of the EU Mobility Directive into the Labour Code and creates rules on information, consultation and participation of employees in cross-border mergers, divisions and conversions; it was adopted unanimously by 60 votes and dispensed from the second constitutional vote.
The Chamber debated and voted proposal 8497 amending the chapter of its rules of procedure on petitions, which fixes the filing conditions, moves admissibility to the Petitions Committee alone and raises the signature threshold for a public debate from 4,500 to 5,500; a separate vote was requested and held on article 165quater, paragraph 5.
