The new logo will consist of a blue-white-red "X" and the slogan 'Luxembourg Agréé par l'État'.

MPs approved the adoption of a new label on Tuesday to promote regional products and assist consumers in navigating the myriad domestic and international labels already in use. MPs from the Alternative Democratic Reform Party (adr) and the Left Party (Déi Lénk) abstained from voting, while the Pirate Party voted against it. The draft bill was thus passed by a large majority of MPs, despite the fact that not only the opposition has reservations about the label's usefulness.

To begin with, participation in the new labelling and certification system is completely voluntary. It is also limited to large corporations and producers – small businesses are not included.

The draft bill focuses on a logo that will be printed on product packaging. Whether a participating producer meets the minimum requirements for the label or sets even higher quality standards for themselves, they will receive the same logo in both circumstances.

The new label, bemoans MP Gusty Graas from the Democratic Party (DP), does not distinguish between producers who meet only two, three, or four criteria and those who meet seven or eight.

The Christian Social People's Party (CSV) voted in favour of the draft bill because it believes that having a national label that is also compliant with EU standards is important. This was no longer the case with the former 'Marque Nationale' label, which is why it had to be replaced. However, MP Martine Hansen, the President of the CSV's parliamentary group, made it clear that she is not overly enthusiastic regarding the new label.

Hansen thinks that the new label will lead consumers to believe that the product was made in Luxembourg, and that by purchasing it, they will be supporting Luxembourg's agricultural sector. "This is not the case," Hansen emphasises, noting that international groups, "even one from southern Italy, for example," can apply for the label.

This is in fact true, as the new label defines "regional" as products sourced within a 250-kilometer radius of the producer's headquarters, regardless of where the producer is located. This means that future items bearing the new "X" label must not necessarily come from Luxembourg. It was not possible to limit the term to just apply to Luxembourgish territory due to EU standards. However, the rapporteur of the draft bill, MP Tess Burton from the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party (LSAP), does not think that foreign groups will want to apply for the label because "financial aids are only available to groups based in Luxembourg".

Before it has even entered into force, Draft Bill 7672 is already being questioned — by both the opposition and the majority parties. Minister of Agriculture Claude Haagen, who is recovering from eye surgery, has already stated that the new system will be reevaluated after two years.
