The members of the Inquiry Commission on the wire-tapping scandal have not yet adopted the rules of the procedure. In a session in which MPs were meant to agree on the rules of the Commission, has yet to be held, but it has been postponed to Thursday after tomorrow afternoon’s representatives of the parties will be coordinated to adopt common rules.
At he first session, committee members of VMRO-DPMNE reacted because the proposed rules were sent to them in a private rather than official email. Meanwhile, SDSM reacted why no one from the ruling party had submitted comments on the proposed rules.
Commission chairman Peter Shilegov from the SDSM pointed out that the proposed rules to other commissioners sent to them by email on Thursday, reporting that he should send comments or to contact him personally.
Some members of VMRO-DPMNE reacted to this that some of them have not seen the e-mail because it was sent to the private rather than official email and others realized that the notes will be reviewed at the meeting.
The biggest problem was with the proposed rule which had been provided beforehand, that the Committee Chairman would have two votes in a case a decision is made with an equal number of votes. To balance the vote out.
Shilegov explained that this solution proposed for the Commission was not to bring the situation to be hostage to a party.
Notes made said that the rules did not even contemplate how long it a speech should, how long should the lines and contra-reply be, and that in no meetings should be transferred to the parliamentary channel where journalists attend anyway.
MP Roza Topuzova Karevska noted that one article stipulates that the session of the Committee may be held regardless of how many of its members are present.
Shilegov’s response to the remarks was that he expected them, obviously the purpose of Deputies from VMRO-DPMNE is to delay and prolong the work of the Commission.
MP and Deputy Chairman of the Commission, Goran Misovski, asked MPs from the ruling party if there is a common will to come to some kind of political resolution.
“Yes if I was in your place, I would say, lets leave aside the rules, let Nikola Gruevski come tomorrow, here and now we can bring and conclusions. You find notes on technical matters, whether it s an issue that you were sent an email you were sent to a private address instead of an official address. Maybe what bothers me is that three members of the Commission are directly involved in the scandal, but, well, I did not make a problem. We are here not to judge, the Prime Minister or anyone else”, said Goran Misovski.
