The draft law will amend three national laws: (i) the amended Law of 14 August 2000 on e-commerce; (ii) the amended Law of 23 July 2016 creating a high commission for national protection; and (iii) the Law of 17 December 2021 transposing the European Electronic Communication Code. It is currently unknown when the draft law will be adopted by the Luxembourg Parliament.

Apart from:

  1. adding the national reference laboratories designated under Article 10 of the amended Law of 1 August 2018 on the mandatory notification of certain diseases in the context of public health protection to Annex I, section 5 on health; and
  2. setting the maximum administrative fines up to EUR 7,000,000 or 1.4% of the total worldwide annual turnover for the previous financial year of the company to which the significant entity belongs (whichever is higher); No significant deviations from the NIS2 Directive are contained in the current bill, nor are expected.
