Formally, however, this change has not yet been completed, and we have to wait further: “The law will not be passed today, it must be corrected first,” said Federal Council President Christine Schwarz-Fuchs (ÖVP) to the “UN”. Discussions between the parliamentary groups on how to proceed should take place on Wednesday, according to parliament on the APA.
The reason for the delay is an editorial error by the Parliamentary Directorate: At the end of May, the Constitutional Committee approved an amendment with the votes of the ÖVP and the Greens in order to improve individual passages. However, these changes were not incorporated into the version of the legal text that went to the plenary session of the National Council. The version adopted by the National Council was therefore incorrect. This now needs to be repaired. In order to pave the way for this, according to the UN report, the Federal Council should now object to the legislative decision of the National Council
