The legal committee of the Chamber of Deputies on Friday voted for a report on the adoption of the draft law on the abolition of the Section for Investigating Magistrates (SIIJ).
There were 18 votes cast "in favour" and 7 "against".
The draft law, initiated by the Ministry of Justice, stipulates that the SIIJ will be abolished, and its responsibilities will be taken over by the ordinary prosecutor's offices, with the respective cases to be investigated by specifically appointed prosecutors.
Only a few technical modifications proposed by the PSD (Social Democratic Party) were adopted, and those of USR (Save Romania Union) and AUR (Alliance for the Union of Romanians) were rejected.
One of the adopted modifications, proposed by PSD deputy Steluta Cataniciu introduces under this law the judges from the Constitutional Court and the assistant magistrates.
The bill is due to be debated and voted on by the plenum of the Chamber of Deputies next week, Agerpres informs.
