Parliament revised the law that stipulates measures related to the selection of candidates for member of the self-governing bodies of judges and prosecutors after President Maia Sandu sent this back for reexamination, IPN reports.

According to President Sandu, to ensure all the agreed procedures are obeyed, including the extensive examination of candidates to determine their integrity, the periods for taking particular actions should be reviewed. This way, some of the periods were extended by about ten days.

The law on the selection of candidates for member of the self-governing bodies of judges and prosecutors provides for the constitution of a specialized commission for assessing the integrity of candidates for administrative posts in the Superior Council of Magistracy and the Superior Council of Prosecutors.

The law is to be implemented until December 31, 2022.
