About us

The Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce is committed to actively participating in the promotion of a legislative and regulatory framework conducive to the economic development of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. To this effect, the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce fully exercises the legislative mission bestowed upon it at national level, whilst positioning itself within the framework of the legislative and decision-making process at European level.  

Our European Affairs team is dedicated to helping businesses thrive in the dynamic EU regulatory landscape. Acting as a bridge between businesses and EU policymakers, we ensure your voice is heard in critical discussions on legislative and non-legislative dossiers. 

Our dedicated resources

The Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, through its European Affairs Department, an integral part of its Legal Affairs Service, closely monitors the progress of key European dossiers throughout their legislative and other decision-making processes. With the expertise of our team and a well-established, perennial network of members and stakeholders at the national level, we ensure comprehensive, high-quality analysis of all relevant EU initiatives.  

In addition, the  Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce maintains a precious network within the EU institutions and facilitates direct and continuous exchanges with the European Council, European Parliament, and European Commission. This enables us to take targeted, effective action, ensuring that the interests of our members are represented and protected at the highest levels. 

Thus, and since 2016, our Brussels-based permanent office has been facilitating the ex-ante defense of the interests of our members by relaying our positions throughout every stage of the legislative and decision-making processes, ensuring that member interests are defended at every opportunity.

Our missions

The  Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce takes the necessary and appropriate measures, and allocates the necessary resources, for an adequate, efficient and proactive action whenever European measures or initiatives are likely to affect the interests of the business sectors that the Chamber of Commerce represents, but also - more generally - the socio-economic fabric of the country.  

We ensure early access to politically relevant information via a robust international network with reliable alliances, proactive advocacy activities, and the mobilization of third parties in support of Luxembourg economic interests, by applying a structured approach to prioritize and filter relevant projects and developments at EU level that are of interest to the Luxembourg economy. 

Policy monitoring and Advocacy 

The  Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce closely follows the initiatives of the European Commission and the legislative and decisional process at the European level, whether it be draft regulations and directives, communications or resolutions. We closely monitor legislative and regulatory changes and advocate for balanced legal and regulatory frameworks. 

Alerting and Mobilizing 

Working together with the targeted sectors as well as with the professional federations concerned at the national and European levels, the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce collects information on the concrete impact of the envisaged measures and relays it to the appropriate recipients.  

Regular blog posts or updates on the latest policy news, summarizing key discussions affecting businesses on the latest developments in EU Policy, events including conferences, webinars, and workshops on relevant topics like EU law, digital transformation, and sustainability practices, offer support for businesses in understanding and implementing EU laws.

Taking official positions 

The Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce participates, in its own name and on behalf of its members, in public consultations and in proposals for legislative amendments.  

The Chamber of Commerce as member and partner of European organisations

The Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce participates in platforms at European level for the purpose of elaborating proposals and positions on the various dossiers that are of interest for its members. By joining forces with such organizations, the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce offers its members a vast group of experts of international caliber and a conduit to voice and address their views, experiences and concerns in order to timely attain the European policymakers.

European Economic and Social Committee

The Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce has a representative sitting in the European Economic and Social Committee (the "EESC") for the Employers' group (i.e. Group I), in the sections that are key for the interests of our members. Participation in the EESC, the latter acting in its advisory capacity alongside the European Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission, constitutes a unique opportunity for our members to express their views on European issues through the official opinions that the EESC submits to the aforementioned European Institutions.
