Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on Law Enforcement Denys Monastyrskyi noted that the Working Group considered three blocks of issues and worked out four bills.
According to him, the Working Group managed to work out a solution for a prompt and compromise settlement of the constitutional crisis.
Deputy Chairperson of the Working Group Permanent Representative of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in the Constitutional Court of Ukraine Olha Sovhyria noted that the draft law on the constitutional procedure had been registered. The document was supported by the majority of parliamentary factions.
“The draft law establishes the following model: the Constitution of Ukraine was and remains in the first place, followed by the Law on Constitutional Procedure. We propose to settle certain procedural issues at the level of the Rules of Procedure of the Constitutional Court. This model of regulating the activities of the CCU fully complies with the recommendations of the Venice Commission, which were expressed on December 11-12,” Olha Sovhyria said.
In particular, the document proposes that the Constitutional Court rule by a two-thirds majority. These are 12 judges of the CCU. З If in the course of the case the judge announces the recusal, it is established that the number of votes may be reduced, but at least ten judges must vote in favor. The second novelty stipulates that the Constitutional Court will hear cases, as a rule, by oral procedure. The working group proposes that not only the Chairperson but also the judges of the Constitutional Court be able to influence the formation of the CCU agenda.
Also among the novelties of the bill are the introduction of an automated register of acts of the Constitutional Court and an automated distribution of cases between judges-rapporteurs. Now it happens manually.
On the recommendation of the Venice Commission, it was settled that the Constitutional Court could not go beyond the issues raised in the constitutional petition. The draft law stipulates that rulings and acts of the Constitutional Court must be thorough and motivated.
