Paragraph 43
 

Moreover, submitting the text to the Constitutional Court after the second collection of signatures may lead to an ineffectual use of resources by the authors of a popular initiative and by the CEC. It is recommended that the authors of a popular initiative be required to submit their draft for the Constitutional Court’s ruling after its rejection by Parliament but before they embark on the collection of additional 300,000 signatures. The referendum should then be called after the certification of additional signatures by the CEC.
