When will the pollen app arrive?

The Ministry of Health had announced that a free app would be offered at the beginning of 2020 that would provide citizens with information about pollen concentrations in the air. After more than three years, this app still does not exist. DP MP Carole Hartmann therefore asked the Minister of Health where the work on this app is at and who has been entrusted with its development?

Question

« Dans sa réponse à la question parlementaire n° 632 en avril 2019, l’ancien Ministre de la Santé avait annoncé qu’une application mobile gratuite serait développée début 2020 afin de faciliter l’accès des personnes allergiques aux informations sur les concentrations de pollens dans l’air.

Il est certain que la pandémie a eu un impact sur le calendrier de développement d’une telle application mobile. Néanmoins, trois ans se sont écoulés depuis le lancement prévu.

Par conséquent, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Santé :

  • Madame la Ministre, le développement d’une application mobile  est-il toujours en cours ?
  • Dans l’affirmative, quand les personnes allergiques peuvent-elles s’attendre à sa publication ?
  • Qui a été chargé pour développer cette application ? »

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.
