Abstracts

EN

The right to initiate a review of norms conferred on organs of local government units is limited at constitutional level primarily in relation to the scope of matters subject to such review. The proper delimitation of this power requires a reference to a wider normative context within which one can analyze the entitlement to act of those entities mentioned in Article 191 para. 1 subpara. 3 of the Constitution. This context is partly due to the constitutionally determined position of local government in the system of governance. This is connected to the fact of constitutionalization of the rights conferred on decision-making organs of local government units and the limited entitlement to act of those entities authorized to initiate a constitutional review. The third reference point is defi ned by the very purpose of review of the norms, which is pending before the Constitutional Tribunal and the specifi c interpretation of Article 191 para. 2 of the Constitution, containing a reference to „… matters relevant to the scope of activity” of the applicant.
