This legislation establishes the framework for the composition, organisation, and functioning of the Commission for Cultural Heritage in Luxembourg. The Commission, consisting of fifteen members with expertise in cultural heritage, is appointed for renewable three-year terms by the Minister of Culture. The President, Vice-President, and Secretary form the Commission’s bureau and are appointed by the Minister, with a designated official serving as the Commission’s secretary.
Meetings of the Commission require a majority of members for valid deliberations, with decisions made by a simple majority vote. Members are obligated to maintain confidentiality regarding deliberations and information related to discussed cases. The legislation also outlines procedures for urgent meetings, the replacement of members with conflicts of interest, and the involvement of experts in Commission meetings upon request and agreement.
Furthermore, the document specifies the remuneration of members for their participation in Commission meetings and repeals a previous regulation related to the composition and functioning of the Commission of National Sites and Monuments. The Ministers of Culture and Finance are responsible for implementing this regulation, emphasising transparency and efficiency in the preservation and management of Luxembourg’s cultural heritage.
