Paragraph 74
 

This assessment is not contradicted by Judgment 2016/117 of the Constitutional Court. The Court sets out that it was bound to reject the application under Article 85 of the Constitution because it was bound by the form of the act adopted on 12 April 2016 to consider it as a constitutional amendment which could be controlled only under Article 148 of the Constitution. Control under Article 148 of the Constitution did not take place in the absence of a request to the Court.
