Extension of the hunting season

Since 1 May 2024, the hunting season for certain game species has been extended in order to combat the overpopulation of game animals and thus protect the forests. DP MPs Guy Arendt and Gusty Graas asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity what exact figures indicate that there is an overpopulation of game animals, what measures are planned to enable hunters to fulfill their established obligations and how much compensation for game damage was paid per year between the years 2010 and 2024.

Question

« Depuis le 1er mai 2024 les périodes d’ouverture de chasse sur certaines catégories de gibier ont été élargies. En ce qui concerne les chevrettes nées l’année précédente, la période de chasse a été fixée du mois de mai à janvier alors que jusqu’à présent les chevrettes étaient protégées jusqu’au mois de septembre. En outre, pour certains cervidés les périodes de chasse en battue ont été étendues jusqu’à fin janvier.

Il s’agit, suivant la motivation de ces adaptations, notamment de lutter contre la surpopulation du gibier et ainsi de protéger les forêts.

Dès lors, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre de l’Environnement, du Climat et de la Biodiversité :

1) Quels sont les chiffres exacts qui font conclure à une surpopulation du gibier ?

2) Quelles sont les mesures prévues pour permettre aux chasseurs de remplir leurs obligations fixées dans leur plan de tir ?

3) Vu la surpopulation du gibier, il nous importe de connaître par année le montant des indemnités versées pour dégâts causés par le gibier entre les années 2010 et 2024 (donc depuis l’entrée en vigueur de la nouvelle loi sur la chasse). »

Strengthening the rights of pregnant self-employed workers

DP MPs Carole Hartmann and Mandy Minella have asked the relevant ministers whether paid dispensation from work or an equivalent mechanism will be introduced for pregnant self-employed workers.

Introduction of skin cancer screening?

Since 2008, skin cancer screening has been available in Germany for all policyholders aged 35 and over. As a result, many cases of skin cancer are detected earlier.
DP MPs André Bauler and Gilles Baum wanted to know from the Minister for Health how skin cancer figures have developed here in the country since 2013, whether such screening would also be useful in Luxembourg and why only figures for melanoma (black skin cancer) are collected.
