Use of government logo for own purposes legal?

Recently, three associations ran an ad where they used the logo of the Ministry of Agriculture for their purposes, so that the reader could think it was an official announcement from the government. The DP MP Gusty Graas asked the Minister of Agriculture if this is legal and what he intends to do about it.

« Les trois associations « Greenpeace Luxembourg », « Mouvement écologique » et « natur&ëmwelt asbl » ont publié une annonce le 1er décembre dans la presse nationale qui semble vouloir induire le lecteur en erreur. En effet, l’entête de l’annonce reproduit le logo officiel des ministères luxembourgeois en changeant l’intitulé du ministère de l’Agriculture, de la Viticulture et du Développement rural en « Ministère de l’Agriculture durable ». Le ministère concerné a déjà réagi par communiqué de presse pour se distancier de l’annonce et pour dénoncer la manière de communiquer desdites associations.

Dans ce contexte, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre de l’Agriculture, de la Viticulture et du Développement rural :

  • Est-ce légal de reproduire le logo officiel du Gouvernement pour induire le lecteur en erreur ?
  • Dans la négative, est-ce que Monsieur le Ministre compte entreprendre des démarches supplémentaires contre ces trois associations ?
  • Quelle est l’attitude de Monsieur le Ministre face à cette manière de communiquer ?»

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.
