Traduction de «simple majority vote » (Anglais → Français) :

F. whereas members of the Supreme Court have openly rejected the principle of separation of powers, publicly pledged their commitment to advancing the government’s political agenda, and repeatedly ruled in favour of the government, validating the government’s disregard for human rights; whereas in December 2014, the pro-government majority of the National Assembly appointed 12 new members to the Supreme Court through a simple majority vote, after failing to obtain a two-thirds majority, for which a consensus with the opposition would have been necessary; whereas a court-packing law adopted in 2004 provides that a simple majority vote i ...[+++]s valid only if a two-thirds majority vote is not obtained after voting three times;

6. Notwithstanding Article 26(7), until 31 December 2015, qualified majority voting and simple majority voting shall be applied together for the adoption of the regulations referred to in Article 4(3).

The Council could repeal such a decision by a simple majority vote within 10 days (reversed simple majority).

We therefore propose that the Council should take practically all decisions by a twofold, simple-majority vote, that is, a vote which represents both a majority of the Member States and a majority of the citizens.

The Council proceedings are not open and therefore it is very difficult to comment. But if there should be any attempt to lower the bar of a qualified majority vote to a simple majority vote, that would meet with the strongest objections from the Commission.

With regard to the distribution of power in the Council, the Commission has proposed a system of ‘double simple majority’ voting on certain questions. This means that a majority is required from the Member States, but also that these States should represent a majority of the citizens if a decision is to be implemented.
