Standing Committees

        The seats at the Committees belong to the parties or party groups. For this reason, the number of seats, the chairmanship and the positions at the Committees’ Boards (immediate deputies to the chairman) follow the party proportionality principle.

        No Standing Committee may have less than three and a half nor more than twelve hundredths of the total number of Representatives – disregarding the fraction (i.e. from 17 to 61 Representatives). No Representative can hold a member position on more than one Standing Committee.
