(File No. 23.02.062.155-2021)
The committee considered the proposed law, which includes a provision to make it mandatory to conduct a written examination both for entry-level positions whose initial salary scale does not exceed Scale A9 of the government salary schedule and for entry-level positions whose initial salary scale does not exceed Scale A11 of the government salary schedule.

2.The President, Ministers and Members of Parliament of the Republic of Cyprus (Declaration and Control of Property) (Amendment) (No. 2) Law of 2021.
(Bill on behalf of the Parliamentary Committee on Institutions, Values and Governance Commissioner)
(File No. 23.02.062.127-2021)
The Committee continued the discussion of the Bill under consideration in the presence of the Head of the Secretariat of the Special Committee on the Patronage of the House of Representatives. The Bill in question, which amends the President, Ministers and Members of Parliament of the Republic of Cyprus (Declaration and Control of Assets) Act, is a consolidation of a number of bills which had been tabled and debated during the outgoing Parliamentary Session. In particular, the text of the proposed law incorporates provisions of those proposals which were accepted by the Committee under its present composition. During the meeting, the Chairman of the Committee summarized the conclusions drawn from the discussions held on the subject in five sessions of the Committee, concluding that the text of the legislative proposal under discussion needs to be revised in order to incorporate a provision relating to the electronic submission of the declaration provided for the persons liable and to ensure the uniformity of the data submitted. Individual issues were also discussed, with the ultimate aim of improving the entire system for checking the accuracy of the content of the declaration, and a discussion was held on institutional constitutional issues relating to the need to ensure the separation of powers in the context of the proposed amendment to the law.
The Committee reserved the right to return after the draft law had been revised and a new text submitted in accordance with the above.
