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). »

More legal certainty before the labour court?

If a staff representative has been suspended due to serious misconduct, an employer can request that the employment relationship be terminated in court, e.g. via a counterclaim. However, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann were informed that the President of the Labour Court repeatedly rejects these applications. This leads to problems in the enforcement of labour law and to legal and financial difficulties for the employer. The DP MPs therefore wanted to know from the Minister of Labour how he interprets the relevant paragraph in the Labour Code, whether the rejection of the counterclaim by the President of the Labour Court is in accordance with the law and whether more legal certainty should be provided.
