PANA 100: | National Provisions Regarding the early Termination of Parliamentary Office |
October1998 - EN/FR | |
The first part relates to Members of national parliaments. In addition, to an outline of the reasons allowed under national law for the early termination of office, particular attention is devoted to the procedure followed in the event of resignation and the date on which the resignation takes effect. This is followed by a description of the procedures relating to the replacement of national MPs whose office terminates during a parliamentary term. Lastly, where the system provides for such an MPs to be replaced by the best-placed non-elected candidate on the electoral list, it was enquired whether that candidate is able to ask to be removed from the list or, in other terms, to stand down if he no longer wishes to take his seat in parliament. These latter aspects are also the subject of the second part of the study, which is concerned in particular with the national provisions applicable to the replacement of MEPs whose office comes to an end during a parliamentary term. |
