Extended parliamentary control over CSE and flexible duration of state of emergency proposed by MPs
Parliament could exercise direct control over the activity of the Commission for Emergency Situations (CSE), and the duration of the state of emergency would become flexible, between 30 and 90 days, according to a draft amendment to the legislation on crisis management, examined today by the parliamentary Committee for National Security, Defence and Public Order.
The initiative provides that the relevant parliamentary committees will have the right to analyse, at any time, the binding orders issued by the Commission for Emergency Situations during states of crisis. Based on these assessments, reports will be drawn up and presented to the plenary of Parliament, which will subsequently be able to propose to the Government the amendment or the total or partial repeal of the measures adopted.
The draft also introduces the obligation for the CSE to transmit to the Legislature, within 72 hours, all acts and restrictions imposed, giving MPs the opportunity to verify their legality, necessity and proportionality.
At the same time, after the end of the state of emergency, the Government will have to present a detailed report on the measures applied and their impact.
The document also provides for reducing the duration of the state of alert from 60 to 30 days and introducing a flexible interval for the state of emergency, between 30 and 90 days.
The draft was set up by MPs from the Action and Solidarity Party, based on the recommendations of the European Commission in the 2025 Enlargement Report. The authors state that the amendments aim to increase decision-making transparency and strengthen parliamentary control, while respecting fundamental rights and freedoms in the management of exceptional situations.
