Transparency register

 

What is the transparency register?

In order to ensure better transparency of parliamentary activities, the Chamber of Deputies has introduced a transparency register. Prior to any contact organised with an extra-parliamentary party in order to influence the Chamber’s legislative process or decision-making process, this party’s details must be added to the register.

This register aims to make the various actors public.

The following are not covered by and are therefore excluded from the above-mentioned obligation: contact between deputies and citizens reporting their personal situation or their private interests. Any legal entities or natural persons representing a third party or appointed by a third party and acting on behalf of the latter or for itself wishing to contact the deputies in order to influence their legislative work or the Chamber’s decision-making process in any way must, prior to any organised contact, add their details to the transparency register which is published on the Chamber’s website. In the absence of such a registration, no contact may be organised with the deputies in order to influence their legislative work or the Chamber’s decision-making process.

Only European deputies, other state institutions or organisations representing local, municipal and intermunicipal authorities and professional chambers do not fall within the scope of the transparency register.

In addition, Article 178 bis of the Chamber’s Rules of Procedure defines the activities that are covered by the transparency register and those that are excluded.

The transparency register is public and can be consulted via the parliamentary administration. It contains:

  • the name
  • the legal form
  • the address (of the head office)
  • the telephone number
  • the e-mail address
  • the company number with the Luxembourg Corporate and Trade Register or its equivalent for foreign companies
  • the corporate purpose of the association, the company or grouping
  • the name of the third party represented if applicable.

Information regarding the name, the legal form, and the name of the third party represented are published on the Chamber of Deputies’ website.

By registering, the companies, institutions, organisations and natural person or legal entity concerned:

  • consent to the information they provide to be included in the register being published,
  • guarantee that the information that they provide to be included in the register is correct, and agree to cooperate in the context of administrative requests for additional information and updates,

  • recognise that they have the option to remove themselves from the transparency register at any time.
