Timeliness of parliamentary processing of draft laws submitted by the government

Timeliness of parliamentary processing of draft laws submitted by the government (%)

Timeline of submission and approval/rejection by parliament of all draft laws (new and amendments) initiated by the government during the year preceding the latest full calendar year are analysed. Assessors will divide the number of draft laws that were approved/rejected/withdrawn by the parliament within 12 months after their submission by the total number of laws submitted by the government during the full calendar year preceding the latest full calendar year and express the value as a percentage. If there were no legislative activities in the parliament during the last full calendar year, the assessment is carried out using the available information from the previous years. Points are allocated based on the percentage of draft laws submitted by the government that were considered (approved/rejected/withdrawn) by the parliament within 12 months after their submission (x): • x < 70% = 0 points. • 70% ≤ x < 100% = linear function. • x = 100% = 10 points.
