The powers and tasks as well as the status of public officials are defined by an Act of Parliament. The functioning of public administration is based on the principles of legality, equal treatment, impartiality, proportionality, legal certainty, responding in reasonable time framework, participation respect of private life and transparency.
If the functioning of the public administration and civil service is based on good governance principles, it is a precondition for existence of a non-corrupt, professional and credible public service serving the citizens.
