Benelux – Together against illegal drug crime and organised crime

On December 11th, the Benelux Interparliamentary Assembly unanimously adopted a recommendation regarding the illegal drug industry and organised crime. How should this cooperation work and how does the Government see future cooperation on this topic? Our MP Gusty Graas has inquired with the ministries in charge.

« En date du 11 décembre dernier l’Assemblée interparlementaire Benelux a approuvé unanimement une recommandation sur l’industrie illégale de la drogue et la criminalité organisée. Plusieurs demandes ont été formulées à l’adresse des trois gouvernements.

Dans ce contexte, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Justice, Madame la Ministre de la Santé et Monsieur le Ministre de la Sécurité intérieure :

  • De quelle manière la coopération entre les pays dans ce domaine peut-elle être organisée encore plus systématiquement ?
  • Il est proposé de recourir au joint targetting tout en brossant un tableau commun et en menant des enquêtes communes. Est-ce que le Gouvernement luxembourgeois partage cette recommandation ?
  • Quelle est l’attitude du Gouvernement face à la demande d’explorer des possibilités de coopération avec des partenaires publics-privés et la société ?
  • Est-ce que le Gouvernement est prêt à assister davantage le secteur logistique, vu que les entreprises concernées doivent consentir des frais élevés pour réduire les abus ?

Comment l’approche de type ‘non conviction based’ peut être mise en œuvre ? Comment l’échange de données sur ce point peut être amélioré ? »

DP MP Gusty Graas has now been informed that these photos will no longer be reimbursed by health insurance. In a parliamentary question to the Minister of Health, the liberal politician would like to know, among other things, why this decision was made and how many patients have been reimbursed for such photos taken by dermatologists in the last five years.

What is the quality of the food in our hospitals?

A healthy and balanced diet has been proven to contribute to a better healing process and reduce the risk of complications. In this context, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann asked the health minister, among other things, how good the quality of the food is in our hospitals, whether regional products are prioritised and whether care is taken to ensure that vulnerable patients also eat enough.

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.
