Chamber of Deputies rejects Ordinance amending referendum law

4 noiembrie 2009

Information in English

The Chamber of Deputies, Parliament’s decision-making house, rejected on Tuesday, by 198 votes to 83, the Emergency Ordinance 103/2009 on amending and completing the Law No.3/2000 on how the referendum is organised and takes place.

The Chamber’s plenary meeting had originanlly rejected the request by the Democratic Liberal Party (PD-L) Group’s head Mircea Toader to send back the Ordinance to the commission, because the negative report runs counter the Venice Commission’s recommendations and also runs counter some decisions by the Constitutional Court.
Most of the deputies overruled Toader’s arguments according to which the Ordinance’s text compensated for a legal vacuum.

Toader along with the Governmental official argued that the Ordinance had been actually issued to meet the Venice Commission’s recommendations stipulating a 20-day deadline within which the Parliament has to issue an advisory opinion for the organization of the referendum. The Ordinance also read that the referendum and the presidential elections were organised at the same polling stations for curbing the public costs. The Senate also rejected the Ordinance on the alteration of the referendum law.
