In the draft resolution, delete paragraph 6.

Explanatory note

While the draft resolution criticizes the minor and temporary limitation of the Constitutional Court's powers, it forgets to mention the introduction of the new institution of constitutional complaint - following the German model - which was requested by the Constitutional Court. This competence allows the Court to examine judgements of normal courts.
