Also, the draft law sees the setting up of an independent commission, made up of people from outside the system, which is to be involved in the procedure of appointment of the chief prosecutor from the specialized prosecutor’s offices. This Commission will be made up of five members: one member nominated by the Justice Ministry, one – by the Moldovan president and three members nominated by the Superior Council of Prosecutors (CSP).
