Paragraph 17
 

Some elements of the structure of the draft should be reconsidered. For example, Article 2 (Referendum) and Article 3 (People’s initiative) are systematically placed under heading I (Basic Provisions); the details are set out in Articles 9 and following (and in Articles 53 and following, respectively). These general provisions are not placed in the specific parts of the law dealing with referendums and initiatives. The various types of referendums could be defined more precisely in an introductory provision under heading II. The text of the constitutional provisions on referendums could be restated in the law when necessary, rather than merely referred to.
