Pagrindiniai parlamentinės kontrolės subjektai Lietuvoje

Abstract

A particularly important aspect is that the structure of the Seimas and its procedure of activities which is grounded on the democratic principles are designed for the purpose that in any situation the representatives of the Nation could implement the highest sovereign will of the Nation in a constructive, effective and continuous manner and that the conditions would be created for each Member of the Seimas to implement the powers of a representative of the Nation. In the article, the author analyzes the function of parliamentary control implemented by the Seimas and legal and practical preconditions for the permanent committees and commissions of the Seimas to implement the function of parliamentary control effectively and continuously. While analyzing the Lithuanian parliamentary practice, it is noted that the system of material and procedural legal norms which would create legal preconditions for the permanent commissions and committees of the Seimas to effectively and continuously implement the parliamentary control has not yet been developed enough. Up to now, provision of information to the permanent committees and commissions of the Seimas and its use in the parliamentary research, especially in cases, when the information is linked to the pre-trial or operational investigation or it constitutes a state or official secret, still remain relevant.
