Clarity and coherence of official typology of central government bodies
Legal status is clearly regulated for all types of central government bodies
Review of laws and regulations. For each type of central government body, it is verified that the regulatory framework (including primary and secondary legislation) specifies the following: • legal status of the organisation (legal personality) • functional criteria for establishment (i.e. nature of functions to be performed) • managing bodies of the organisation and the process of their appointment • subordination/supervision scheme (specifying reporting lines) • degree of autonomy in a) financial management and b) human resource management.

Degree of autonomy in financial management and human resource management is regulated for central government bodies
Review of laws and regulations. For each type of central government body, it is verified that the regulatory framework (including primary and secondary legislation) specifies the following: • legal status of the organisation (legal personality) • functional criteria for establishment (i.e. nature of functions to be performed) • managing bodies of the organisation and the process of their appointment • subordination/supervision scheme (specifying reporting lines) • degree of autonomy in a) financial management and b) human resource management. More weight is placed on criteria 6 and 7 as they focus on actual practice and its compliance with the legal framework.
An inventory of all administrative bodies is publicly available
Review of laws and regulations. For each type of central government body, it is verified that the regulatory framework (including primary and secondary legislation) specifies the following: • legal status of the organisation (legal personality) • functional criteria for establishment (i.e. nature of functions to be performed) • managing bodies of the organisation and the process of their appointment • subordination/supervision scheme (specifying reporting lines) • degree of autonomy in a) financial management and b) human resource management. It is confirmed the inventory (list) of all administrative bodies exists, it is up to date, publicly available, and contains the following minimum data for each body: type, legal status, main function, managing bodies, subordination. More weight is placed on criteria 6 and 7 as they focus on actual practice and its compliance with the legal framework.
The domestic requirements for organisation of central government bodies are applied consistently (%)
Compliance is confirmed of the organisation of central government bodies with the legal framework based on the inventory of bodies (identified in criterion 6). If there is no publicly available inventory, no points are awarded for criteria 6 and 7. Points are allocated based on the percentage of bodies for which inconsistencies have been identified (x): • x > 20% = 0 points • 3% ≤ x ≤ 20% = linear function • x < 3% = 5 points.
