Elections

The President is elected for a four-year term. The presidential candidate is required to obtain a nationwide majority of non-blank votes at either the first or second round of balloting. He/She must be supported by at least half of the voting population. Once the following guidlines have been met, the presidential candidate is sworn into office and gains the respecting policial powers.

Executive Powers

Only the President and Prime Minister sign decrees. Decrees can only be taken following certain procedures and with due respect to the constitution and statute law.

1.The President signs decrees naming and dismissing most senior civil and military servants, for positions listed in the Constitution or in Statutes. He also signs decrees establishing some regulations. All such decrees must be countersigned by the Prime Minister and the ministers concerned.

2.The Prime Minister signs decrees establishing regulations, which the concerned ministers countersign. In some areas, they constitute primary legislation, in some others they must be subordinate to an existing statute.

Neither the president nor the prime minister may rule by decree (outside of the narrow case of presidential emergency powers).

Organization of government services

Each ministry has a central administration, divided into directions. These directions are usually divided into divisions or sub-directions. Each direction is headed by a director, named by the President in Council. The central administration largely stays the same regardless of the political tendency of the executive in power.

In addition, each minister has a private office, which is composed of members whose nomination is politically determined, called the cabinet.

The government also maintains public establishments. These have a relative administrative and financial autonomy, in order to accomplish a defined mission. They are attached to one or more supervising authorities. These are classified into several categories:

1.public establishments of an administrative character, including, for instance

2.public establishments of an industrial and commercial character

One essential difference is that in administrations and public establishments of an administrative character operate under public law, while establishments of an industrial and commercial character operate mostly under private law. A consequence is that in the former, permanent personnel are civil servants, while normally in the latter, they are contract employees.

In addition, the government maintains a number of public corporations.
