It is a process in which citizens, organizations and associations can express their opinions and collaborate in the creation of laws and norms. In this way, society can express its needs and concerns in a transparent and democratic way.

Prior public consultation: Before drafting the normative project, citizens’ opinions and suggestions are sought.
Audience and public information: Once the normative project is drafted, there is a time frame for the public to review, comment on the content and provide input.
