In addition, the draft law provides for an obligation for all representation/representative committees to be registered (Article 6.8).  It is possible that very few people (e.g. only three) are the initiators of the draft, thus there is no legitimate aim for such requirement, combined with the obligation to provide the authorities with copies of their agreements or for the NGOs to be all represented in the representation/representative committee. It should be up to the initiators to decide on whom to nominate as their representative(s), whether to be formally registered or not and for how long to be active in the collection of signatures during the procedure. A committee for organising the collection of signatures is undoubtedly necessary, but needs to be legally identified only when such number has been reached. The committee’s registration, if required at all, could then be postponed to the moment in which the committee is in the condition of demonstrating that the number of 20.000 has been reached. The Venice Commission and the ODIHR recommend not requiring committees on behalf of NGOs and citizens’ initiatives to be registered with the CEC until the required number of signatures is collected.
