54. In the Act of 9 July 2004 on the legal effects of certain partnerships, Luxembourg has offered persons, of the same sex or not, wishing to live together the possibility of declaring a partnership with the civil status officer, and has established a legal framework for the property, tax and social security issues that arise with that type of partnership. The Act will be supplemented with a draft law, tabled by the Government in July 2008, which is aimed at offering more legal security and transparency to the partners, to their children and to third parties, and at securing recognition in Luxembourg for partnerships validly declared and concluded abroad through registration in the civil registry.
