However, the grounds and the mechanism for mayors' early removal from the office do not meet appropriate standards of certainty and foreseeability. Article 217(3) stipulates that dismissal of the mayor may be initiated "if he/she fails to respect the interests of the local community, to exercise properly the powers of locally elected official provided by law, [or] violates moral and ethical rules, facts confirmed in the prescribed manner". The Venice Commission previously emphasised that the practice of an early recall is only acceptable under specific and clear conditions, "coupled with adequate and effective procedural safeguards to prevent its misuse". It is recommended that the mechanism for an early recall of mayors is clarified, providing for restrictive grounds under which it may occur.
