Coalition Calls on Parliament to Consider President’s Objections in Relation to the “Third Wave” Judicial Reform Bill

The Coalition welcomes the proposal to regulate a probable number of judgesin the law.  The Venice Commission underlined the need to balance the power of government branches with respect to the establishment of the number of judges, judicial appointments, and allocation of resources needed for an increase in the number of judges.  The powers have to be balanced in a way that will limit the Parliament’s or President’s undue influence on the increase of the number of judges.  The President’s objections confirm the need to establish a balance of power in line with the Venice Commission’s opinion.  In addition, the President proposes to the Parliament to regulate the issue of the number of judges after having considered better guarantees of judicial independence.
