She was responding to the opposition's complaints, during a debate on the government's bill of amendments to the law on courts, that it was unclear which assets judges would declare.
The opposition claimed that the government had opened a debate on what assets were. "That is not correct. The government knows well what assets are and wanted to open a debate on possible value limits on moveables that have to be declared," said Lovrin.
She recalled that the law on conflict of interest prevention stipulated limits on savings which officials must declare only if they exceeded their annual net income.
Responding to the opposition's claims that the law on courts should stipulate that judges' declarations of assets be public, as are those of officials, Lovrin said this was not necessary as information on judges' assets would be obtainable under the law on the right to information access.
Parliamentary clubs of deputies applauded the introduction of the obligation that all judges, not only newly-appointed ones, declare their assets, but pointed out that there was a debate under way on what exactly officials must declare.
