What is the Main Committee?
The Main Committee is the institution through which the National Council performs its third function – participation in executive functions at the federal level (the first two being legislation and control). Its tasks are therefore strictly regulated by the Constitution.
In the Main Committee of the National Council, members deliberate certain decisions with the competent government members. Action can only be taken with the approval of the Main Committee.
The Main Committee is one of Parliament’s standing committees and can meet at any time. It is traditionally chaired by the President of the National Council or his/her deputies. The chairpersons of parliamentary groups are ex-officio members of the Main Committee.
