Romania's Justice Minister Tudorel Toader explained on Wednesday in Strasbourg the course of justice legislation and amendments to the Criminal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure, saying that among the solutions ruled unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) about justice legislation none of them was designed by the Ministry of Justice (MJ).
Toader said that, initially, the Ministry of Justice drew up two drafts in which amendments to the laws of justice were proposed.
"We also made the 18-page draft that was to request the Venice Commission's opinion - October 25, 2017 - the special commission had called for the draft we made, and I was asked to make it available. I made it available in an electronic format. (...) It remained with the commission; the commission divided the draft in three, made three bills for amendment - 303, 304, 317 (...)," Toader told a news conference.
According to him, the same thing happened with the criminal codes.
"Similarly, the ministry drafted a bill to amend the Criminal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure in line with the Constitutional Court's rulings; another draft amending the Criminal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure in line with the extended confiscation directive, and the directive on the presumption of innocence. They passed through the government, and the government developed those projects that we had drafted and the government approved them. What I would say personally is that none among the legislative solutions that were ruled unconstitutional by the CCR about the three draft laws to amend the laws of justice originated with the Ministry of Justice," said Toader.
