Minister Verlinden leaves an opening for a limited postponement of the new criminal code

Minister of Justice Annelies Verlinden (CD&V) left an opening in Parliament on Thursday for a “limited postponement” for the introduction of the new criminal code until September 1. Because objections from the magistracy are mainly related to traffic and GAS legislation, it has asked the competent ministers Jean-Luc Crucke (Les Engagés) and Bernard Quintin (MR) whether they believe that such a postponement is necessary, it said.
