The “Asian hornet”, a danger for bee colonies

The “Asian hornet” has been destroying bee colonies in the Western Palatinate and eating their honey for a few years now. Many bee colonies in Rhineland-Palatinate are also affected by the “Varroa mite”. DP MPs André Bauler and Luc Emering asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Viticulture how many bee colonies have fallen victim to the “varroa mite” in the last five years, whether the “Asian hornet” is already active in Luxembourg, how bee colonies can be protected against it and what the cooperation between beekeepers and the Ministry looks like.

„Mir si gewuer ginn, datt déi sou genannt “Asiatesch Horniss” d’Beievëlker an der Westpfalz zanter enger Rei Joren zerstéiert an hiren Hunneg opfrësst. Dat féiert dozou, datt den Ökosystem an dëser Géigend gestéiert gëtt an datt just ronn een Drëttel vun de Beievëlker iwwerliewe kéint. Dozou kënnt, datt eng Rëtsch Beievëlker a Rheinland-Pfalz krank sinn, well de Wanter zimmlech mëll war a well se vun der “Varroamilbe” befall sinn.

An deem Kader wollte mir der Madamm Ministesch fir Landwirtschaft, Ernärung a Wäibau follgend Froe stellen:

1. Wéi vill Beievëlker sinn an de leschte fënnef Joer der “Varroamilbe” zum Affer gefall?

2. Ass déi “Asiatesch Horniss” mëttlerweil och zu Lëtzebuerg aktiv?

3. Mat wat fir enge Mëttel kann et gelénge fir d’Beievëlker virun dësem aggressivem Insekt ze schützen?

4. Wéi gesäit an dësem Kontext d’Zesummenaarbecht tëscht de Beienziichter an dem Ministère aus?“

Second classroom support staff and A-EBS in cycle 1 of primary education

To ensure more effective pedagogical differentiation from the start of schooling, the coalition agreement foresees the gradual introduction of a second classroom support worker in cycle 1. This second staff member could also play a key role in the rollout of Project Alpha, especially in preparing children for literacy in German or French. Furthermore, assistants for pupils with special educational needs (A-EBS) are set to ease the workload of specialised teachers. Our MPs Gilles Baum and Barbara Agostino have submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister to clarify the implementation timeline and progress of these initiatives.

No access to biological results in the LëtzHBM study?

As part of the LNS study ‘LëtzHBM’, biological and environmental samples are collected to determine the presence of chemical substances in private households. The results of the biological samples, unlike the environmental samples, are not systematically communicated to the participants.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health why these results are not communicated and whether this is compatible with data protection regulations.
