According to the chairman of the constitutional commission, Hendrik Johannes Terras, the commission found that the law cannot be re-adopted unchanged. “The President has taken the position that the provisions of the law do not comply with the principle of equal treatment. We consider his point of view to be valid and believe that the law needs to be changed,” he said.
