Lithuanian parliament wants top court stripped of right to rule on budget issues

DELFI / Šarūnas Mažeika

Petras Narkevičius, the committee chairman, says the committee was encouraged to raise the issue after the Constitutional Court ruled recently on the share of and criteria for the distribution of income tax revenues among municipalities.

“I believe a wave of various proposals on income tax revenue distribution will now follow, and it wouldn’t be good, if courts started ruling again. The Constitutional Court’s ruling to restore reduced salaries for civil servants sent even more ripples,” Narkevičius said.

In his words, all committee members voted in favour of requesting the Cabinet to prepare the amendments.
