PARLIAMENTARY WORK
Jean-Paul was the spokesperson for the law on music education, which was amended.
He welcomed the fact that municipalities will be better financially supported in the future, and that school organisation and the range of courses will be adjusted. This puts valuable music education on a more secure footing, Jean-Paul made clear. This would be education, social and cultural policy and an investment in the people of the country.
He will speak as rapporteur on the new library law.
He also spoke for the CSV on the new rules governing petitions. A new quorum of 5,500 signatures was introduced, the website was made more user-friendly and a procedure was introduced to identify petitioners. Petitions are an important instrument in the democratic system – with the new rules, the rights of petitioners are strengthened, he emphasised.
In numerous parliamentary questions, Jean-Paul repeatedly points to critical issues, especially in the North: road construction, railway lines, archaeological excavations, as well as infrastructure in the social and education sectors are among his topics.
Jean-Paul will focus on the case files in family policy.
