How are shooting ranges regulated in Luxembourg?

Who is allowed to take part in shooting range courses in Luxembourg? What kind of courses are offered to businesses as well as to individuals? What background checks and other checks are done? Our MPs Claude Lamberty and Max Hahn have inquired with the Ministry in charge.

« De Weekend war an enger Lëtzebuerger Dageszeitung ze liesen, dass Reklammen fir e Schéissstand just hannert der lëtzebuerger Grenz op der Facebook Säit vu Coronamesure- Géigner publizéiert gi wieren. An dëse Reklammen géifen da Waffen- a Schéisscoursen ugebuede ginn.

Et liest ee weider, dass esouwuel Professioneller, wéi och Privatleit dës Course kënne besichen. Et géif dorop opgepasst, dass keng Extremisten oder politesch motivéiert Persounen ënner de Participante dobäi wieren, allerdéngs wier et net méiglech Abléck an de Casier vun den eenzele Leit ze kréien.

Den Aussoe vun der Police an dësem Artikel no, géif een esou Betriber kritesch gesinn. Zwar géif ee vun der Police an der Arméi aus op intern Ausbildungen zeréckgräifen, an trotzdeem géing e Sécherheetsproblem bestoen well Polizisten och privat un de Coursen géingen deelhuelen. Déi taktesch Ausbildung wier op europäeschem Niveau ofgeschwat, an esou ‚Trainingen‘ op dëse Schéissstänn kéinten am schlëmmste Fall vun de nationale Gesetzer ofwäichen.

An deem Kader wollte mir der Madamm Justizministesch an dem Här Minister fir bannenzeg Sécherheet folgend Froe stellen:

  • Wéi si Schéissstänn hei am Land allgemeng reglementéiert ?
  • Wien dierf zu Lëtzebuerg op e Schéissstand schéisse goen?
  • Ginn zu Lëtzebuerg och Coursen fir Privatleit a Betriiber ugebueden?
  • Falls jo, wat fir Konditioune musse een do erfëllen a brauch ee fir un esou engem Cours deelzehuelen e Waffeschäin?
  • Ginn op lëtzebuerger Schéissstänn och taktesch Übungen fir Civilisten ugebueden?

Ginn an dem Kontext reegelméisseg Kontrolle op de Schéissstänn gemaach ? »

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.
