Not enough construction debris dumps – now what?

The problem of the lack of construction debris dumps in Luxembourg has been known for a long time. The consequences are long journeys for the trucks, an increased burden on the environment, and higher costs for the end customers. Are there plans for the future and how can the situation be controlled? Our MP Max Hahn inquired with the relevant ministry.

„D’Problematik vum Manktem u Bauschuttdeponien zu Lëtzebuerg ass zënter laangem bekannt. Déi aktuell begrenzt. Kapassitéite féieren dozou, dass d’Camionen laang Weeër musse fueren fir de Buedem ofzetippen. Dëst bedeit sengersäits eng onnéideg Belaaschtung fir d’Ëmwelt, Käschten déi fir d’Entreprisen, an domat och fir d’Endclienten, an d’Luucht ginn an och méi laang Délaien bei de Chantieren.

Verstäerkt Äerdaushub probéieren z’evitéieren, ass sécher eng Méiglechkeet d’Problematik e bëssen z’entspanen, allerdéngs féiert kee Wee derlaanscht, zousätzlech Bauschuttdeponien auszeweisen. An deem Kader wollt ech der Madamm Ministesch fir Ëmwelt, Klima an nohalteg Entwécklung folgend Froe stellen:

  • Wéi vill nei Site fir Bauschuttdeponien sinn aktuell an der Planung? Wou wieren déi Siten a bis wéini kéinten se opgoen?
  • Wat sinn eventuell Schwieregkeete fir bei der Definitioun vun neie Bauschuttdeponië virunzekommen? Aus wéi enge Grënn war et bis elo net méiglech der Situatioun Meeschter ze ginn?
  • Wéi eng Tëscheléisung proposéiert de Ministère dem Secteur fir déi aktuell Situatioun ze verbesseren, bis dass zousätzlech Bauschuttdeponien kënnen opgoen?“

Answer

Fir d’Äntwert op dës Froen vum éirewäerten Députéierten verweisen ech op d’Äntwerten op d’parlamentaresch Froen n°6889 an n°6902 vun der éierewäerten Députéierten Martine Hansen. Zousätzlech sief gesot, dass de Ministère keen Afloss op d’Zäitschinn huet, wat d’Areeche vun den néidegen Dokumenter a Geneemegungsdossieren ugeet.

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.
