Meeting with the Cabinet of the Minister for the Economy (Cabinet Dermagne)

09/03/2024

V-Europe, its coordinators, and one of its lawyers, Mr. Nicolas Estienne, engaged in a discussion regarding the proposed law on compensation for victims of terrorist acts.

The association and its partners did not hesitate to express their disappointment with the current bill, which still places compensation in the hands of private insurers. During this meeting, it was crucial to amplify the "voice" of victims who suffer from administrative and legal procedures that are far removed from human reality. The proposal for a central and unified point of contact is consistently highlighted in these discussions and is strongly advocated by the association.

Despite political hesitations, some improvements are planned for the future, and a bill is likely to be introduced soon in the chambers of the federal parliament for a vote. The office of the Minister of Economy intends to consider the observations and comments that the association will submit in writing.
