Paragraph 64
 

In light of the above, it is clear that the Draft Amendments would not allow the Constitutional Chamber to enjoy the “necessary degree of independence and autonomy” or enable it “to function as an effective organ of judicial constitutional review”, as concluded by the Venice Commission in its 2011 opinion58 It is therefore strongly recommended to abandon such amendments and to rather retain the current wording of Article 97 of the Constitution.
