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 ? »

ITM controls in the gastronomy sector

The ITM sees supporting businesses and prevention as its priorities. In the gastronomy sector, however, the direct application of sanctions following an inspection appears to be the rule rather than the exception. In this context, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann wanted to know from the Minister of Labour, among other things, how many inspections have been carried out in the gastronomy sector in the last 5 years, how many sanctions have been imposed immediately after an inspection and how many sanctions have been reduced or lifted.
