According to the document approved, 14 normative acts will be subjected to evaluation by seven standing parliamentary commissions. Most normative acts will be assessed by the commission for national security, defence and public order. Among them, there are the Law on the identity acts from the national passports system; the Law on citizens’ preparation for the defence of the Motherland; the Law on the state secret; the Law on the General Inspectorate of Carabineers and the Law on the exchange of data and interoperability.    

The Law on the local public administration, the Law on the status of the Chisinau municipality and the Law on the system of addresses will be subjected to evaluation on the platform of the parliament’s commission for public administration and regional development.

The ex post evaluation allows the parliament analyzing the data on how the legislative act was implemented. The process sees two ways of assessment: legal, in order to verify whether all necessary normative acts were approved or whether there are obstacles to the law’s enforcement and the impact ex post evaluation, in order to analyze the efficiency of the legislative act, respectively, improve its implementation.
