The legislative procedure in the parliament is not regulated in the draft law. It is common in European countries to provide in a specific piece of legislation for similar parliamentary procedures for all draft laws, with, if necessary, some specific rules for the draft laws initiated by the voters, e.g. the right to take part in the committee and plenary sessions and the right to be heard. As the parliament is not obliged to adopt the draft law and can provide for amendments according to the normal procedure without a possible referendum in case of rejection, Article 16 of the draft law is in accordance with European standards.
