Summary/Abstract: Regulation of this matter is based on the specific division of lawmaking powers – in the Fifth Republic, which makes the government superior to the parliament. Although the change in the Constitution in 2008 greatly depleted the government’s prerogatives in the legislative procedure, it also imposed new obligations on the government to draft laws of better quality. The government is still the main actor in the legislative process. It is also responsible for ensuring progress in the implementation of EU legislation in France and for conformity of French national legislation with EU law.
