The head of state cannot send back a law adopted by the Government’s commitment to assume responsibility to Parliament for reexamination. Such a decision was passed by the Constitutional Court (CC) on March 2. The Court also ruled that the Government can assume responsibility for a number of bills simultaneously, on condition that the adoption is a measure taken in extremis, IPN reports.
Under the CC’s decision, the measure taken in extremis must be determined by the urgency of the actions stipulated in the laws for which the Government assumes responsibility, by the necessity of adopting the regulation with maximum celerity and of immediately implementing the laws and by the circumscription of laws to one regulatory document.
The Court held that before promulgation, the head of state can notify the Constitutional Court if he considers that the law adopted by the Government’s commitment before Parliament is unconstitutional.
The Court’s decision is definitive and cannot be appealed and takes effect when it is adopted and is published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Moldova.
