DECISION No. 15 OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1996 ON CC No. 14/96

On July 18, 1996 the Chief Prosecutor seized the Constitutional Court with a challenge of the constitutionality of the provisions of Art. 33 para 2 and Art. 34 of the Law on Transactions in Foreign Currency and Currency Controls (LTFCCC) - promulgated, DV, No. 51 of July 1, 1966, amended, No. 26/1968, No. 92/1969, Nos. 53 and 99/1989, No. 25/1991 and No. 10/1993. The former of the provisions reads that articles of gold, silver, platinum and precious stones can be sold to physical persons by state-owned trade enterprises; the latter of the provisions prohibits buying and selling and any other transactions in articles of gold and platinum and precious stones between physical persons except for the normal donations.
The Constitutional Court ruled that the business legislation shall make no discrimination and that the law shall guarantee that (Art. 19 para 2 of the C.). There exist no other reasons that exclude these fundamental constitutional principles while taking due note of the foreign currency transaction regime established in the country.
The Constitutional Court found that the provisions of Art. 33 para 2 and Art. 34 of the Law on Transactions in Foreign Currency and Currency Controls - promulgated, DV, No. 51 of July 1, 1966, amended, No. 26/1968, No. 92/1969, Nos. 53 and 99/1989, No. 25/1991 and No. 10/1993 contravened the Constitution.
