The draft Constitution and the draft Election Bill (as well as supporting legislation and regulations) have been enacted by the Royal Decree issued on 30 June 2007 (see ECB/NOTIF-01/2008/119). It is anticipated that the newly elected parliament will pass the Constitution and this legislation following its composition.
