Presented by the Minister Delegate for Relations with Parliament, Government Spokesman, Mustapha Baitas, this text comes in application of Article 23 of the aforementioned organic law, which stipulates that the government organizes at least one meeting per month to examine the bills presented by the majority and opposition deputies and clarify the position of the Executive with regard to them, indicated Mr. Baitas during a press briefing following a meeting of the Government Council.
It is imperative to develop a clear legal framework regulating the government’s examination of proposed laws and to improve the legal framework governing the work of the permanent technical committee responsible for monitoring parliamentary legislative initiatives, insisted the Minister Delegate, stressing the need to institutionalize this committee which should be governed by a regulatory decree replacing the Circular of the Head of Government No. 04/2017 of June 28, 2017.
According to Mr. Baitas, this draft decree aims to determine the procedural measures to be followed by members of the government to examine the proposed laws, in particular by defining the respective attributions of the Secretary General of the Government and the government authority responsible for relations with parliament, with regard to the distribution of these proposals and the setting of the agenda of the government meeting dedicated to their examination.
It is also a question of determining the composition, attributions and operating procedures of the Technical Commission responsible for examining proposed laws, established under the Head of Government, and of improving the representativeness of government departments within the said commission by including the condition of having at least the rank of central director, the objective being to guarantee the effectiveness of the meetings of this structure, concluded the minister.
