Comisia economie, buget și finanțe a Parlamentului a amânat examinarea proiectului Legii publicității pentru lectura a doua, astfel încât acest document, a cărui importanță este menționată și în Rezoluția recentă a Parlamentului European privind punerea în aplicare a Acordului de Asociere Uniunea Europeană – R. Moldova, nu va mai fi votat de actualul legislativ. Nici măcar autorii proiectului nu cunosc motivele amânării, în timp ce experții bănuiesc că ar fi vorba de intenția de a exclude anumite prevederi care obligă transparentizarea acestui domeniu.

The President of the Republic of Moldova, Igor Dodon, failed to sign the Audiovisual Media Services Code for the second time. The press secretary of the President, Maxim Lebedinschi, confirmed this for us.
On Wednesday, 28 November, Maxim Lebedinschi told Media-azi that ‘At the moment, the President did not promulgate it (i.e. the Code)’.
According to the law, the President of the country shall promulgate the law within two weeks at most from the date of its registration with the presidential administration.

Parliament’s Committee for economy, budget and finance postponed the review of the draft Law on Advertising for the second reading, so that this document, the importance of which is also mentioned by the European Parliament recent Resolution on the implementation of the EU Association Agreement with Moldova, will no longer be voted by the current Parliament. Even the authors don’t know why the draft was postponed, while the experts believe that it is intended to exclude certain provisions requiring to strengthen field’s transparency.
