DISCUSSIONS REGARDING A POSSIBLE GOVERNMENT GUARDIANSHIP CONTROL OVER ADMINISTRATIVE ACTS by Constantin Claudiu ULARIU

“…Although the vocation of coordination that the Government can exercise within a representative democracy can be admitted in principle, where the Cabinet is called upon to realise a strategic policy and vision regarding the country's development and all its institutions, the requirement of the incidence of essential and sufficient guarantees must also be considered to ensure the balance of powers in the state and the democratic evolution of state institutions. Hence, a series of elements must be considered to ensure a minimum institutional and legislative coherence, which guarantees the correct and predictive functioning of all state institutions, as well as a coherent and correct coordination by the Government over administrative activity in Romania. …”
