Origin

2018 - Second part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 18.3.6, delete the words:

"repeal all provisions of existing decree-laws with permanent effect or whose purpose is not directly related to the emergency situation, and".

Explanatory note

All of the issued decree-laws have been approved by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. Herewith, the provisions of the decree laws were passed through the normal legislative process. As a result, there are no more existing decree-laws which could be repealed. So, making such a call has no purpose anymore.
