“The endeavor to fast-track the legislative process produces poor quality laws,” Assoc. Prof. Natalia Kiselova, lecturer in constitutional law said for the BNR. In her words the past decades have seen the establishment of lasting tendencies leading to poor-quality legislation in Bulgaria.
The share of bills submitted by individual MPs is currently approximately 70% as against 30% submitted by the government. Years ago it was the other way round. Practice in parliamentary countries with well-established traditions is for government bills to predominate, Assoc. Prof. Kiselova said.
“The expertise of government service officials is by far higher than the capacity of an individual member of parliament,” she added.
