Article 59
Finance laws determine the nature, amount and allocation of resources and
expenditure of the State for a certain year taking into account an economic and
financial balance that they define.
Finance laws are necessarily voted before the end of the fiscal year at hand. If the
finance law setting out the resources and expenditure for a fiscal year is not passed
in time by the Government, the latter will ask as a matter of urgency for the National
Council of the Transition to adopt a law continuing by provisional twelfths of the
previous fiscal year’s finance law.
Tabled by the Government at the latest on October 15th, the budget is authorized by
the finance law, before the beginning of a new year. This law can only include
provisions of a financial nature.
Any amendment proposal to the finance law is irreceivable when it has as a
consequence either a reduction of resources not made up for by savings, or an
increase in State expenditure not made up for by an equivalent increase in resources.
• Standing committees
The irreceivability of an amendment shall be established by the President of the
National Council of the Transition, after consulting with the Bureau of the National
Council of the Transition.
At the Government’s request, the National Council of the Transition gives its opinion
on all or part of a draft finance law retaining only those amendments accepted by the
Government.
