Selon le m\u00e9moire transmis au Conseil constitutionnel, il s\u2019agissait plut\u00f4t d\u2019instaurer une proc\u00e9dure permettant davantage de transparence et d\u2019information de la repr\u00e9sentation nationale sur l\u2019utilisation des ressources naturelles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Le Conseil constitutionnel retient le caract\u00e8re r\u00e9glementaire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dans sa d\u00e9cision, le Conseil constitutionnel fait toutefois une distinction entre les r\u00e8gles substantielles relatives \u00e0 l\u2019exploitation et \u00e0 la gestion des ressources naturelles, qui peuvent relever du domaine de la loi, et les dispositions fixant les conditions d\u2019exercice du pouvoir de signer les d\u00e9crets, comp\u00e9tence directement attribu\u00e9e au Pr\u00e9sident de la R\u00e9publique par l\u2019article 43 de la Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La juridiction rel\u00e8ve que la disposition litigieuse <strong>ne conf\u00e8re aucun pouvoir d\u2019approbation ou de rejet du contrat \u00e0 l\u2019Assembl\u00e9e nationale<\/strong>, puisque le d\u00e9bat pr\u00e9vu n\u2019est pas suivi d\u2019un vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mais, selon le Conseil, la saisine pr\u00e9alable de l\u2019Assembl\u00e9e nationale et la tenue de ce d\u00e9bat constituent n\u00e9anmoins une <strong>condition proc\u00e9durale pr\u00e9alable \u00e0 l\u2019exercice par le Pr\u00e9sident de la R\u00e9publique de son pouvoir r\u00e9glementaire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">D\u00e8s lors, le Conseil constitutionnel estime que cette mati\u00e8re n\u2019\u00e9tant r\u00e9serv\u00e9e par aucune disposition de la Constitution au domaine de la loi, elle pr\u00e9sente un caract\u00e8re r\u00e9glementaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>La proposition d\u00e9clar\u00e9e irrecevable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En cons\u00e9quence, le Conseil constitutionnel a jug\u00e9 que la disposition concern\u00e9e, \u00ab qui n\u2019est pas du domaine de la loi \u00bb, est irrecevable au regard de l\u2019article 83 de la Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Article premier :<\/strong> la proposition de loi n\u00b037\/26 portant modification de l\u2019article 20 de la loi n\u00b02019-03 du 1er f\u00e9vrier 2019 portant Code p\u00e9trolier est d\u00e9clar\u00e9e irrecevable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La d\u00e9cision a \u00e9t\u00e9 rendue lors de la s\u00e9ance du <strong>5 octobre 2026<\/strong>, sous la pr\u00e9sidence d\u2019<strong>Ousmane Diagne<\/strong>, avec

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cette d\u00e9cision met ainsi un terme, sur le plan constitutionnel, au diff\u00e9rend qui avait \u00e9merg\u00e9 autour de la proc\u00e9dure d\u2019examen et
