AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoDigital Health: Luxembourg’s electronic sick-note system is gaining ground: the CNS processed 6,350 digital certificates in October, up from 2,000 in August, and expects about 10,000 in November. The service also covers maternity and family-related leave. Disability Rights: Luxembourg’s human rights commission says people with disabilities face a shortage of accessible, affordable housing and the country lacks a legal framework for personal assistance, limiting people’s ability to live independently. Tobacco Policy: EU finance ministers failed to agree on new tobacco and nicotine taxes, leaving Luxembourg’s rules unchanged for now. The stalled proposal sought higher minimum cigarette duties and tighter controls on newer nicotine products. Cold-Chain Security: Cyberattacks on supermarket refrigeration systems have affected stores in Luxembourg and other European countries, spoiling food. The incidents have raised wider concerns about systems used to keep food and medicine safely chilled; there is no report that Luxembourg medical supplies were affected.
