Paul-Henri Meyers

Paul-Henri Meyers (born 1 January 1937 in Binsfeld) is a Luxembourgish politician and jurist. He sits in the Chamber of Deputies, having previously been a Councillor of State. He has been a member of the Christian Social People's Party (CSV) since 1966. He was reelected to the communal council in 1987, in 1993, and in 1999 (coming second only to Jacques Santer). Meyers sought election to the Chamber of Deputies in the 1994 election, but missed out. Nonetheless, after the election, in August, Meyers was appointed as one of two Vice-Presidents of the Council of State (alongside Raymond Kirsch). However, the appointment of Luc Frieden and Erna Hennicot-Schoepges to the new government required them to resign their seats, allowing Meyers to sit in the Chamber instead. To allow him to take his seat, he was required to resign from the Council of State, which he did on 11 August 1999.
