Transparency Register
In order to ensure greater transparency in parliamentary activities, the Chamber of Deputies holds a Transparency Register. This register intends to publicly disclose the various stakeholders who seek to influence the legislative work or the decision-making process of the Chamber as well as their meetings with Members of Parliament.
As set out in Article 178bis of the Rules of Procedure of the Chamber, Members of Parliament are required to submit a post-meeting declaration for any meeting requested or organised with an external party with the aim of influencing the legislative work or decision-making process of the Chamber.
-
The Transparency Register shall include the following details:
- the date and location of the meeting;
- the full names of the Members of the Chamber of Deputies present at the meeting;
- the full names of the interest representatives and third parties present;
- the legal name, registered office address, and registration number in the Trade and Companies Register of the entities or legal persons represented. In cases where the person represented is a natural person, their full name and the locality of their professional or their private address shall be recorded;
- a brief description of the position advocated by the interest representatives and third parties in relation to legislative activities;
- where applicable, the legislative bills, proposals, or existing laws discussed during the meeting.
-
The register applies exclusively to meetings where the primary purpose is to influence, in any manner, the legislative work of Members of Parliament or the decision-making process of the Chamber of Deputies.
The following types of meetings are excluded from the obligation to declare:
- meetings between MPs and regarding an individual administrative decision;
- internal party meetings or meetings held between political parties;
- brief telephone conversations or comments made in passing at organised events (e.g., New Year’s reception or presentation of annual reports);
- meetings held with Members of the European Parliament, other national or foreign state institutions, organisations representing local, municipal, or intermunicipal authorities and professional chambers;
- legal, professional, technical, or scientific advisory activities, provided these are carried out at the request of one or more MPs.
-
Prior to holding any meeting with a Member of the Chamber of Deputies with the intention of influencing the legislative work or decision-making process of the Chamber, the Deputies need to have access to the following data:
- the date and location of the meeting;
- the full names of the Members of the Chamber of Deputies expected to be present at the meeting;
- the full names of the interest representatives and third parties expected to be present;
- the name, legal name, registered office address, and registration number in the Trade and Companies Register of the entities or legal persons represented. If the representative is a natural person, then their full name and the locality of their professional or private address;
- where applicable, the legislative bills, proposals, or laws that are the subject of the discussion.
Following the meeting, the deputies shall transmit the above-mentioned information, along with a brief summary of the position advocated by the interest representatives and third parties, to the Parliamentary Administration, which shall publish the data as soon as possible and no later than six weeks after receipt.
In the case that the required information is not provided in advance of the meeting, the meeting may not take place with Members of Parliament if its purpose is to influence legislative work or the decision-making process. This is in accordance with Article 5 of the Code of Conduct for Luxembourgish Members of Parliament regarding financial interests and conflicts of interest.

Important notice
The new provisions of the Transparency Register came into effect on 15 September 2025.
As of now, no meetings have yet been recorded in the Transparency Register. Deputies have a two-week period from 15 September 2025 to submit the required information concerning any meetings held, after which the Parliamentary Administration has six weeks from receipt to publish the data.
Reform and new functioning since 15 September 2025
Following its initial establishment in December 2021, the Transparency Register of the Chamber of Deputies was reformed in June 2025.
The most significant change introduced by this reform is the shift from a pre-registration requirement to a post-meeting declaration requirement. Instead of interest representatives being required to register prior to meeting with a Member of Parliament, it is now the responsibility of the MP to declare the meeting afterwards. The published information now also includes the subject matter of the meeting and the names of the deputies who participated.
