In the presentation of reasons which accompanies the text of the ordinance, the Government explained the initiative to issue this draft law by the fact that Parliament hinders the constitutional law of the president to call a referendum by the fact that it did not harmonize the text of its regulation with the Constitution, following a decision of the Constitutional Court within the legal timeframe of 45 days.
According to the Court’s decision, the Parliament voices the viewpoint regarding the referendum initiated by president by the majority vote of the present senators and deputies and not by all parliamentarians, as it was stipulated in the regulation.
The text of the ordinance introduces as a first a timeframe of 20 calendar days in which Parliament has to have a say on the referendum initiated by the president. Elsewhere, if the Parliament does not express its viewpoint within this interval, the president can issue the decree on the organisation of the referendum, the procedure of consultation with the Parliament being considered fulfilled.
