Ms. Moerman, rapporteur, has asked the Chamber to apologize to her and refers to her report.
Joke Schauvliege Vooruit ⚙
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Minister, colleagues, I would like to briefly emphasize that this bill was submitted by me because I myself have experienced from practice that the possibility of seizure of fees for prosthetics and implants could give rise to very pressing situations. I will give a very brief example: someone who was the victim of a traffic accident, who had lost a arm and who eventually received compensation after a procedure by the insurance company for, for example, a artificial arm, could in some cases not acquire that arm, simply because he still had so many debts and because the creditors confiscated the fees he had received.
This, of course, contradicts the whole philosophy of the Judicial Code that states that those who have debts must still be able to retain a minimum in order to live a dignified life. Hence my bill, which is now presented and which determines when someone receives compensation for implants or prostheses that are not subject to seizure.
Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues in the Justice Committee for supporting my bill and I would like to thank the chairman of the committee for its smooth handling.
