Andorra's General Council to Vote on Key Regulatory Reforms Thursday

Andorra's General Council is set to vote Thursday, June 4, on the initial consideration of regulatory reforms, with the session starting at 9:30 a.m. All parliamentary groups—Demòcrates per Andorra, Concòrdia, the Social Democrat group, Andorra Endavant, and Ciutadans Compromesos—have jointly registered the proposal, published in Bulletin 38/2026, and agreed to waive amendments, allowing final approval in a single step.

The changes preserve the current regulatory framework but focus on three main areas: councillors' rights and status, parliamentary group operations, and transparency with conflict-of-interest provisions. Councillors will have defined access to reserved, partial, or anonymised information, along with stricter secrecy obligations. The code of conduct will now impose binding sanctions.

Parliamentary groups face heightened oversight from the Court of Accounts, including tougher accounting audits. Rules for mixed groups expand to cover subgroups for financial management and procedures for internal disagreements. Limits on supplementary payments and incompatibilities with specific public roles will tighten.

Transparency rules broaden interest declarations, require abstention from legislative committees in conflict cases, and restrict gifts to councillors to €150. The Permanent Commission gains authority to assess incompatibilities, review conflicts, and produce advisory reports.

Legislative committees will adopt new summoning procedures, internal standards, and parity rules for presidencies. The Sindicatura receives greater control over personnel and independent budget execution. The secretary general's profile, duties, and replacement conditions gain precise outlines.

Councillors must attend investigation committees and testify truthfully, with criminal consequences for false statements.

Proponents aim to boost chamber transparency, operational guarantees, and accountability across all bodies through these measures. No further schedules have been detailed ahead of the plenary.
