Abstract

Abstract:
Probably Italy is the country where the abuse of urgency legislation
(decree-laws) is paramount. This situation is also known in Spain.
Therefore the recent Italian constitutional reform offers a great interest,
since it introduces a series of measures aimed at preventing this situation. Altogether, the Italian experience provides some provisionsthat could be positive in Spain, such as the presentation and discussionof a draft law on the validation of the decree-law, so far it pavesthe way to a more intensified parliamentary control, the obligationthat the decree-laws contain rules of immediate application and homogeneouscharacter and the prohibition to use this path to approve budget measures or international treaties.
