Decisions of PM Sellal depend on the Parliament

Delay to ratify the Complementary Finance Act for the year 2013, at the Council of Ministers, posed a number of questions about the legal formula (prescriptive or regular bill) that the law will refer to the parliament in the coming autumn session.

Government has legislated the Complementary Finance Act for nearly ten years, in the form of “Instruction”, so as not to allow the deputies to modify it, because the “Instruction” was subject to approval as a sentence and not as an article, as is the case in ordinary laws, and dropping an article or adjusting it means necessarily bringing down the entire law, as confirmed by the laws that are governing the relationship between the two chambers of the Parliament and between parliament and government.

It is known that the validity of the legislation of orders is conferred by the Constitution to the President of the Republic, with a limited time, and is usually coupled with the presence of both chambers of parliament. Because the holiday between the spring session and autumn was left with only twenty days only, it as has become imperative for the President of the Republic, to issue prescriptive finance law for the year 2013, if it wants to maintain the traditions that it established in recent years, but if it wants to pass the same law is the form of an ordinary law, thus it will have more time.
