ERRA’s New Legal Status
• ERRA’s inter-institutional status is officially acknowledged
• Official registration and supervision is by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and Trade instead of by the Court! Meaning less stringent legal rules will
be applicable that are more in line with ERRA’s autonomous operations
and international nature
• Higher prestige
• Current ERRA remains unchanged, will maintain its continuous legal
entity (no changes in its Constitution, name, registration numbers, bank
accounts, etc.)
Act will enter into force within 15 days of approval by the Parliament. The
Parliament has already discussed it once, passed it for discussion to the
Parliament 's Economic Affairs Committee. Next week it will be hopefully in
final stage.
