I would like to refer to my written report.
Koenraad Degroote N-VA ⚙
Mr. Speaker, I will be very brief, given the good weather and the fact that many colleagues are already thinking about the Our-Lieve-Heer-Climopweekend.
The bill came in cooperation with the FOD Interior Affairs and the Cabinet following a number of problems following the composition of the police councils in 2013. The police council can only be composed if the municipal councils have been validly composed. Well, in 2013 there were some problems following the nomination of members to the police council. They gave rise to all sorts of procedures and suspensions, which we would like to avoid after the upcoming municipal council elections.
We immediately took the opportunity to update the regulation, because in certain points the legislation still referred to the so-called new municipal law, while it has already been repealed as a result of the state reforms. We have therefore adjusted it, taking into account the situation in the different regions of the country.
I would like to summarize the changes we have made briefly for you. Police councillors may designate one or more successors. Previously it was mandatory, now it is optional. In this way, we want to avoid further problems.
The installation of the police council occurred previously on 1 February. This is the thirty-first day after the installation of the municipal council. You have 30 days to appeal against the installation of the municipal council. This way we avoid overlapping.
It also provides for a scheme for the replacement of police councillors and members of the college in the event of interception, aligned with the scheme in the regions.
It also provides for a system for police counselors who need medical assistance.
Furthermore, the ban on married couples to have seats in the police council will be extended to partners who live together legally.
Per ⁇ important in terms of transparency and political innovation, minimum and maximum bars are set.
It should also be noted that the text was adapted to the comments of the State Council.
Finally, I would like to thank all parties, both those of the majority and those of the opposition, for their constructive contribution and the unanimous approval of the proposal in the committee. Of course, I will also count on this in the vote later.
