How A Bill Becomes A Law
Any legislator can propose a bill, which is then drafted and introduced in a legislative session. The bill is sent to a committee for review, possible changes, and public hearings. If approved by the committee, the bill receives a second reading in its chamber and is debated and voted on. If it passes with a majority vote, it follows the same process in the other chamber. Once both chambers agree on the bill, it is sent to the President to be signed into law, though the President can veto it, subject to a potential legislative override of the veto.

Stages of Law Making Process in Bangladesh
The law making process has 3 stages - pre-legislative, legislative, and post-legislative. In the pre-legislative stage, a ministry proposes a law which is approved by cabinet. It is then sent for drafting and back to cabinet for approval. In the legislative stage, the bill is introduced in parliament where it undergoes 3 readings and debate before a vote. It can be sent to committee. In the post-legislative stage, the president signs the bill into law within 15 days or it is automatically passed, and it is published in the gazette.
How to make a bill
The bill process begins with a draft bill introduced in Congress by a member. It is then assigned to a committee for review, which may hold hearings and amend the bill before voting to send it to their chamber. If passed, it goes to the other chamber and may be amended before also being passed. If differences remain, a conference committee resolves them. The final bill goes to the President, who can sign it, do nothing and let it pass automatically, or veto it - which Congress can override with a two-thirds majority vote.

Journey of the Greens, Whites and Bills
The President does not have the power to refuse to sign a bill simply because he or she "doesn't like it". The President can only refuse to sign if there are doubts about the bill's constitutionality. In that case, the President can refer the bill back to Parliament to address the concerns. If Parliament does not address the concerns, the President can refer the bill to the Constitutional Court to rule on its constitutionality. If the Court finds the bill constitutional, the President must sign it.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
