In public law, it may be important to set up provisions establishing clear distinctions between politically active officials and civil servants and to determine how tasks and responsibilities should be distributed between them. Furthermore, well-developed, detailed and transparent legal regulations on the state budget and its allocation and proper use are needed. Otherwise, internal and external auditing controls will not be an effective countermeasure against abuse. It is also important to decide on detailed provisions on certain budgetary matters such as the use of official premises, communications and transport and other technical resources, complemented by the adoption of values and good practices in the area.
