It is important to define duties of the central administration and to authorize local administrations and provincial organization of the cen- tral administration for the fulfillment of remaining duties, in order to assure effective and efficient functioning of services. This will further reduce the workload of the Council of Ministers, i.e. central organiza- tion of the central administration, and allow the Council to concentrate on and monitor general politics. For these reasons, I argue that the Constitution of 1921 and the Basic Law on Public Administration should be taken into consideration during the revision of the current Constitution.
