How has correspondence developed in Luxembourg?

At "Deutsche Post", correspondence decreased by 6.6% in the first quarter of 2024, which is mainly because of increased digitalisation. DP MPs André Bauler and Carole Hartmann asked the Minister for the Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism how correspondence and the number of parcels have developed in Luxembourg since 2020 and how many different companies are active in the letter and parcel business in Luxembourg.

Question

„Am éischte Quartal vun dësem Joer ass de Bréifverkéier bei der däitscher Post ëm 6,6% zréckgaang. D’Verschécke vu Päck ass dogéint ëm 4,4% geklomm. Dës Entwécklung erkläert sech haaptsächlech duerch de Prozess vun der Digitaliséierung.

An deem Kader wollte mir dem Här Minister fir d’Ekonomie, Mëttelstand, Energie an Tourismus follgend Froe stellen:

1. Wéi huet sech de Bréifverkéier hei am Land zanter 2020 entwéckelt? 2. Huet den Här Minister och Informatiounen iwwer d’Entwécklung vun der Unzuel u Päck?

3. Wéi vill verschidde Firme sinn hei zu Lëtzebuerg am Bréif- a Päckgeschäft aktiv? Wat sinn hir respektiv Maartundeeler?

Medical referrals abroad

Since 1 June 2025, doctors have to fill out a new form if they want to send a patient abroad for treatment. The doctor must now indicate whether or not the services can be provided in Luxembourg within an ‘acceptable period’. If the doctor indicates that the services could actually be provided in Luxembourg, the referral request is automatically rejected.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health whether the mere reduction to the ‘acceptable period’, without taking into account the quality of care, might not lead to unjustified rejections and whether the new form might not force doctors to provide false information in order to guarantee their patients the best possible care.
