3. Possibility of a bank guarantee
Given that many companies are currently experiencing major financial difficulties, the Chamber of Commerce
has also set up a specific bond in the form of a guarantee, which is offered by the Chamber of
Commerce through its “Mutualité de Cautionnement”.
This guarantee is intended for companies that will need a bank loan or a line of credit.
It is for an amount not exceeding 250 000,-€ per surety, and will be up to 50% of the credit.
Companies wishing to take advantage of this guarantee must apply directly to their bank and submit the
application to them. The bank will then decide on the release of the credit.
4. The obligation for frontier workers to certify the need to cross the border
a) German frontier workers :
The German Government has decided to tighten controls at the border between the Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg and the Federal Republic of Germany.
Only frontier workers who can prove the need to cross the border despite the current situation will be
entitled to cross the German-Luxembourg border without any restrictions.
In this connection, the Luxembourg Government has drawn up a certificate for German frontier workers:

, which attests to the employment relationship between
the person concerned and his employer and must be presented to the border control authorities.
b) French frontier workers :
The French Government has taken the decision to carry out reinforced controls at the border between
the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the French Republic.
Only frontier workers who can prove the need to cross the border despite the current situation will be
entitled to actually cross the Franco-Luxembourg border.
In this respect, the Luxembourg Government has drawn up a certificate for French border workers:

, which attests to the employment relationship between the person concerned and his/her employer
and must be presented to the border control authorities.
In addition, French residents will also have to present an „attestation de déplacement dérogatoire“
(available under the following link: https://gouvernement.lu/dam-assets/documents/actualites/2020/03-mars/certificats-france/Attestation-de-deplacement-derogatoire.pdf

de déplacement professionnel“ (available under the following link: https://gouvernement.lu/dam-assets/documents/actualites/2020/03-mars/certificats-france/Justificatif-de-deplacement-professionnel.pdf)
.
Upon presentation of these three documents, the border crosser in question will be exempted from any
restrictions when crossing the border.
