Adaptation of forests to climate change

Forests play an important role in the fight against climate change. At the same time, the dry spells and the high temperatures take an important toll on them. DP MPs Gilles Baum and Max Hahn wanted to know from the concerned minister about the number of applications for subsidies under the "Climate Bonus" program, the extent of the work on the reform of the Aid Catalog and several other measures that are being put in place.

« Als Waasser- a Kuelestoffspäicher spillen eis Bëscher eng wichteg Roll am Kampf géint de Klimawandel. Gläichzäiteg leiden d’Bëscher och zu Lëtzebuerg ëmmer méi un de Suite vun der Äerderwiermung, ë.a. duerch d’Dréchent an de Borkenkäferbefall, deen doduerch begënschtegt gëtt.

Aus deem Grond huet d’Madamm Ministesch och am November 2019 den neien Aidenkatalog « Klima-Bonus » presentéiert. Donieft gouf awer och ugekënnegt, de Règlement grand-ducal iwwer finanziell Hëllefen am Bësch vun 2017 wärend 2020 nach méi déifgräifend op de Leescht wëllen ze huelen.

An deem Kader wollte mir der Madamm Ministesch fir Ëmwelt, Klima an nohalteg Entwécklung folgend Froe stellen:

  • Wéi vill Demande fir finanziell Hëllefe si beim Ministère zënter der Aféierung vum neien Aideprogramm « Klima-Bonus » erakomm ? Wéi vill sinn der accordéiert ginn ? Fir wéi eng Zorten Aarbechten sinn d’Aiden accordéiert ginn ? Wéi e Montant un Aiden ass ausbezuelt ginn ?
  • Wéi vill Demande goufen deposéiert fir Berodung a Formatioun ? Wéi vill sinn der heivunner accordéiert ginn ?
  • Huet de Ministère eventuell Donnéeën doriwwer, wéi vill Ar an de leschten 3 Joer nei ugeplanzt gi sinn, nodeems eng Coupe rase wéinst Borkenkäferbefall néideg ginn ass ?
  • Op wéi ville Plazen am Land ginn et Experimenter, wou net-indigen Bamzorten ugeplanzt ginn, en vue vun enger eventueller méi breeder Uplanzung vun alternativen Aarten, déi besser un de Klimawandel adaptéiert sinn ? Fir wéini wier mat éischte Resultater ze rechnen ?
  • Wéi wäit ass d’Elaboratioun vum ugekënnegten Outil « fichier écologique des essences » ?
  • Wéi vill Prozent vun den ëffentleche Bëscher sinn FSC an/oder PEFC zertifizéiert ? Fir de Fall wou verschidde Bëscher kee vun den zwee Labelen hunn, gëtt ugestrieft, dass all d’Bëscher an ëffentlecher Hand mat engem vun den zwee Labelen zertifizéiert sinn ?
  • Wéi wäit sinn d’Aarbechten un der Reform vum Règlement grand-ducal vun 2017 ? »

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.
