Are there plans to further develop the Cattenom nuclear plant?

As it was recently reported in the press, the mayor of Cattenom submitted his municipality's candidacy for new reactors to be built there. The DP MPs Gusty Graas and Max Hahn asked what the government's position on this matter is, and whether there are projects in the field of renewable energies with France to encourage our neighbors to close Cattenom.

« Tel qu’il a été relayé récemment dans la presse écrite, le maire de Cattenom aurait lancé la candidature de sa commune pour accueillir la construction de deux des six nouveaux réacteurs EPR annoncés par le président de la République française.

Dans ce cadre nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre de l’Énergie et à Monsieur le Ministre des Affaires étrangères et européennes :

  • Le gouvernement est-il en contact avec la commune de Cattenom à ce sujet ? Quelle est la position du gouvernement en la matière ?
  • Selon Messieurs les Ministres, quelle est la probabilité qu’une extension de la centrale nucléaire de Cattenom se produise effectivement ?
  • Y a-t-il des projets énergétiques basés sur les énergies renouvelables conjoints avec la France actuellement en cours d’élaboration ?
  • Dans l’affirmative, le gouvernement peut-il fournir des précisions quant à ces projets ?
  • Dans la négative, est-il prévu de lancer des projets énergétiques basés sur les énergies renouvelables conjoints avec notre voisin français dans l’optique d’encourager par ce biais la fermeture de la centrale nucléaire de Cattenom ? »

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.
