National Council inquiries
Green ministries are more likely to respond than ÖVP-led ministries
69 questions from the "old" National Council of the last legislative period remained unanswered. According to a media report, this applies exclusively to ÖVP-led ministries. The Greens were more likely to provide an answer.
It is not yet clear what will happen to some of the unanswered questions. The Parliamentary Administration is of the opinion that "old" inquiries must be dealt with, while the Council of Ministers Service takes a different view. According to the so-called "discontinuity principle", negotiation items from the previous legislative period, such as legislative motions, expire with the first session of the new period. However, the handling of questions is not explicitly regulated.
"Although written questions must continue to be answered when legislative periods change, they can no longer be discussed by the new National Council," says Parliament.
Council of Ministers Service: "Pointless"
For the Council of Ministers Service, answering questions would "come to nothing". Political control rights are linked to the existing National Council. Anyone wishing to have questions to a minister answered would have to submit them again, is the recommendation. Some MPs have already followed this advice - however, they now have to wait longer for an answer. The two-month deadline is running again.
