I just read that the Dutch government has opened a site where they ask citizens for input on pending legislation. Sounds promising, no?
I checked, curious as I am (it’s in Dutch, of course). The items I saw:
-
Wet prejudiciële vragen aan de Hoge Raad
-
Implementatie EU kaderbesluit recidive in strafzaken
-
Regeling gewasbeschermingsmiddelen en biociden
Great! We get to give our views on legalese!
They have got to be kidding.
“De consultatie betreft het voorontwerp van de introductie van een prejudiciele procedure…”
I really thought no one was using such language. Well, I guess this is doomed to failure untill they get a translation into Dutch.
