Under the revised Article 81 par 2, the President is obliged to sign laws on budget and taxes, “except where the Prime Minister requests laws to be returned without signing”. In this context, it is noted that in principle, laws shall only be promulgated by a head of state. At this stage, once a law is adopted by parliament, the executive should no longer have any influence as to whether a law acquires legal effect through promulgation. It is thus recommended to delete the proposed change from the Draft Amendments.
