Bill 8333 on the anti-tobacco law, which transposes the EU directive on heated tobacco and caps nicotine pouches at 0.048 milligrams, passed 49 votes to 5 with 6 abstentions after an LSAP amendment for a ban was rejected 39 to 16 and an ADR motion by Alexandra Schoos was rejected 51 to 7.
Bill 8399 creating the public establishment Centrale nationale d'achat et de logistique for the health sector passed 47 votes to 7 with 6 abstentions, after the opposition asked in vain for the vote to be postponed because the CGFP had opened a conciliation procedure over the private-law status of the staff.
