Philippe Goffin MR

I would like to thank you for signing this proposal.

Mr. Van Hecke, we have been able to discuss this in the committee; a second reading often makes sense. Here, it was the case. The principle of this legislative modification in relation to the nomination committees remains unchanged. The idea is the following, it was to transmit the know-how within the members of this committee.

Simply, for the sake of wanting to go a little too fast, it was indispensable to bring some clarification to this legislation whose objective, I repeat, is to allow this follow-up of know-how. Since there have been some concerns in the transcription of this will, I would like to take this moment to clarify one or the other element, so that this law can be applied in the best conditions and that these appointment commissions can be constituted perfectly legally. Furthermore, it should be avoided that candidates to this contest have the concern of seeing, if necessary, a commission invalidated because it does not comply with the legal provisions.

Here are some clarifications.

With the text that was voted, it was not possible for a person who had never sitted in the nomination committees, and who was therefore not outgoing, to present himself. The current legislation allows this. In the text voted 15 days ago, the possibility existed only for members already present in the committee. Clearly, today, someone who has not yet seated or who is no longer a member of the commission can, if necessary, be appointed for a period of two years.

In addition, a person who has already completed two four-year terms will no longer be able to represent himself. This is also very clear.

Another element that is essential to clarify is that a person who has served for four years will not be able to exercise a mandate, even temporary for two years. The principle of breaking from one mandate to another remains decisive. There is no need to wait four years to apply for a new term. From now on, with the renewal by half every two years, an outgoing member could very well apply two years after the end of his former term.
