Summary/Abstract: Firstly, constitutional control in France is only a priori, ex-ante control of enforced laws is inadmissible. In Bulgaria, norm control is, as a rule, a follow-up, ie. After the relevant act has been issued and enters into force - that is, constitutional control is a posteriori. Secondly, the Constitutional Council is not competent to resolve disputes between constitutional bodies. In Bulgaria, the Constitutional Court has the power to rule on conflicts of jurisdiction between the National Assembly, the President and the Council of Ministers (constitutional bodies). Thirdly, the Constitutional Council is not competent to resolve disputes between the central and local authorities, unlike the Constitutional Court in Bulgaria.
