Paragraph 36
 

The draft law further provides that after the Constitutional Court’s positive ruling, the Parliament shall adopt a decision on putting the draft to a referendum within 15 days by at least two-thirds vote (Article 8.3). It is understood that, if the draft complies with the Constitution, the Parliament cannot amend it. It should also be clarified, what happens if the Parliament fails to adopt the decision on putting the draft to referendum within the prescribed time and/or by the necessary majority.
