Luxembourg THIS WEEK!

Here are some of the top stories in Luxembourg THIS WEEK: Contaminated eggs: There has been controversy in Luxembourg about contaminated eggs being sold. Some, apparently, were sold in AlDI Luxembourg. At best, it seems like it's a good idea to stay away from eggs until this controversy dies down a bit. https://www.wort.lu/en/luxembourg/fipronil-contaminated-eggs-sold-by-aldi-in-luxembourg-5989e585a5e74263e13c573f Asylum seeking: Luxembourg is said to have received more than 1500 applications seeking Asylum in Luxembourg. The country is obviously a place with high quality of life and has a welcoming asylum environment. With the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and many parts of Africa, asylum seekers continue to arrive in Luxembourg. https://www.wort.lu/en/luxembourg/statec-more-than-1-300-applications-for-asylum-in-luxembourg-so-far-this-year-598b2450a5e74263e13c580a Brexit spoils: Luxembourg continues to attract asset management firms from the spoils of Brexit.

Space mining as a space for business is just at the very beginning. There are many more debates to happen before things are coming to a stable agreement. One thing however is clear, Luxembourg has raised its hand that it wants to be an important player as and when space mining takes off. Kudos to Luxembourg to be an early mover and positioning itself in the midst of this debate. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=9f36c5ed-2527-4ddb-b5fe-662dd724f674 IP taxation: Intellectual Property taxation has been given some special treatment in Luxembourg.
