What’s next for the animal transport dossier?

DP MPs André Bauler and Gusty Graas asked the Minister of Agriculture how to follow up the debate with young farmers on the subject of animal transport, how the new EU recommendations will be implemented in practice and whether there will be a further debate on this subject?

„De 5. Juli 2021 gouf et an der Chamber en Debat iwwert d’Petitioun Nummer 1843, déi vun de Lëtzebuerger Jongbaueren agereecht gouf. Si hunn ënner anerem gefuerdert, datt lëtzebuergesch Béischten net méi duerch d’ganz Welt transportéiert gi fir dann an Drëttlänner ënner Konditioune geschluecht ze ginn, déi Déierewuel net respektéieren. D’lescht Woch huet och d’Europäescht Parlament Recommandatioune guttgeheescht, fir Déierewuel beim Déierentransport ze verbesseren.

An deem Kader wollte mir dem Här Minister fir Landwirtschaft, Wäibau a ländlech Entwécklung folgend Froe stellen:

  1. Wéi steet et ëm de Suivi vum Debat mat de Jongbaueren an der Chamber? Wat fir Konklusioune vun dësem Debat wäerte kuerzfristeg ëmgesat ginn? Wéi steet et ëm d’Aféiere vun engem nationale Pass fir d‘Béischten?
  2.  Zu wat fir enge Schrëtt wäerten d’Diskussiounen op europäeschem Plang féieren ? Wéi wäerten déi nei EU-Recommandatiounen zu Lëtzebuerg konkret ëmgesat ginn?

Iwwer wat fir eng Moossnamen op nationalem Plang wäert de Minister mat den nationalen Acteuren an nächster Zäit berotschloen? Wäert et zu engem weideren Debat iwwert den Déierentransport zu Lëtzebuerg kommen?“

How long are the waiting times at the “Travel Clinic”?

If you are travelling to tropical regions, you can get advice and be vaccinated against various diseases at the CHL’s “Travel Clinic”. However, the waiting times at this clinic are currently said to be quite long.
DP MPs Dr Gérard Schockmel and Gilles Baum have asked the Minister of Health how many patients have been seen at the “Travel Clinic” over the last ten years, how waiting times have developed over this period and whether it would not make sense to make it possible to book appointments online, as is the case with many other CHL services.

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.
