Will the right to abortion be reformed?

The Ministry of Health had announced that a working group will discuss the reform of the right to abortion. DP MP Gusty Graas asked the Minister of Health when this group will start its work, which actors will participate in the work and whether a reform can still be expected in this legislative period?

Question

« Le droit à l’avortement – et donc à l’autodétermination physique – de nombreuses femmes est restreint dans plusieurs pays.

En guise de contre-mouvement, d’autres États veulent étendre ce droit ou l’inscrire dans la constitution.

Le ministère de la Santé a évoqué des discussions en vue d’une révision du droit à l’avortement.

Dans ce contexte, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Santé :

  • Quand le groupe de travail prévu pour réviser le droit à l’avortement se réunira-t-il ?
  • Quels acteurs feront partie de ce groupe de travail ?
  • Quels points seront discutés et quand les travaux du groupe de travail devraient-ils être terminés ?
  • Madame la Ministre, pense-t-elle qu’une réforme du droit à l’avortement sera mise en œuvre avant la fin de la législature ?
  • Un groupe de travail sur l’établissement de statistiques avait également été annoncé l’année dernière. Ce groupe de travail a-t-il été constitué ? À partir de quand le ministère de la Santé publiera-t-il des statistiques sur les interruptions de grossesse au Luxembourg ?»

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.
