Havana: Cuban deputies began the process of consulting bills that will be submitted for approval in the next session of the National Assembly of People’s Power on a date yet to be defined, Cubasí reports.
In videoconference format, the parliamentarians learned the details of the most recent versions of the draft laws on Food Sovereignty and Food and Nutritional Security and the one on Personal Data Protection, which constitute novelties in the national legislative panorama.
The purpose of these meetings is to reach a consensus on the elements of the draft regulations, which will later be submitted to debate and scrutiny in parliament sessions.
These will be intense sessions because in the next meeting of parliament eight legal norms must be approved that give continuity to the legislative schedule updated in December of last year, with which the provisions of the 2019 Constitution are expanded.
The draft law on Food Sovereignty and Food and Nutritional Security is the legal instrumentation of the National Plan of Cuba to advance on this issue and is characterized by the development of robust and extensive articles with numerous novelties.
This law?s main contribution is the organization of sovereign and sustainable local food systems, from which it regulates all production, transformation and marketing processes, as well as food education and nutrition, access to resources and risk prevention among others.
Unprecedented in Cuba, the personal data bill recognizes the rights of citizens in this matter and regulates the responsibility of institutions that handle this information.
