36 The charts presented in this section are based on the General State Budget and on the Budget Execution reports prepared by the National Directorate of Treasury of the Ministry of Finance. Documents are available at http://www.mof.gov.tl/ [when last accessed 02 August 2010, the 2010 Revised Budget and the Budget Execution report for First Quarter 2010 were not yet available at the MoF website]. 37 For 2008 fiscal year, the original budget was 347.8 million USD. The revised budget included an appropriation of 240 million USD for the Economic Stabilization Fund (ESF) and increased appropriations for all other categories. The final budget reduced the ESF to the amount spent – 53.6 million USD – but left the combined total of the other categories unchanged, resulting in a final FY 2008 budget of 601.5 million USD. 38 The Budget Execution Rate for the first quarter of 2010 presented in this report was calculated based on the revised budget approved by National Parliament on 8 July 2010; this figure differs from the 28% Budget Execution Rate presented at the Budget Execution report for First Quarter 2010, which was calculated based on the General State Budget for 2010 before the revision; the 2010 General State Budget as approved on 23 December 2009 amounted to US$659.996. 39 “Estimated Sustainable Income for a Fiscal Year is the maximum amount that can be appropriated from the Petroleum Fund in that Fiscal Year and leave sufficient resources in the Petroleum Fund for an amount of the equal real value to be appropriated in all later Fiscal Years” [Source: Annex I, Law 09/2005 of 03 August on the Petroleum Fund]

Aggregate Indicator: Government Effectiveness77
73 The WGI do not reflect the official views of the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they represent. The WGI are not used by the World Bank Group to allocate resources. (Source: http://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi/index.asp) 74 The Report displays the country's performance for all available years between 1996 and 2008 in six governance dimensions: i) Voice & Accountability, ii) Political Stability and Lack of Violence/Terrorism, iii) Government Effectiveness, iv) Regulatory Quality, v) Rule of Law, and vi) Control of Corruption. (Source: http://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi/index.asp) 75 Voice and Accountability measures the extent to which country’s citizens are able to participate in selecting their government, as well as freedom of expression, freedom of association, and a free media. 76 Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism measures the perceptions of the likelihood that the government will be destabilized or overthrown by unconstitutional or violent means, including domestic violence and terrorism. 77 Government Effectiveness measures the quality of public services, the quality of the civil service and the degree of its independence from political pressures, the quality of policy formulation and implementation, and the credibility of the government’s commitment to such policies.

Aggregate Indicator: Regulatory Quality78
Aggregate Indicator: Rule of Law79
Aggregate Indicator: Control of Corruption80
Explanatory Note:
Percentile ranks indicate the percentage of countries worldwide that rate below the selected country. Higher values
thus indicate better governance ratings. Percentile ranks have been adjusted to account for changes over time in the
set of countries covered by the governance indicators. The dashed lines indicate the statistically-likely range of
governance indicator [known as the confidence level]. For instance a percentile rank of 75% with the dashed lines
at 60% to 85% has the following interpretation: an estimated 75% of the countries rate worse and an estimated
25% of the countries rate better than the country choice. However, at the 90% confidence level, only 60% of the
countries rate worse, while only 15% of the countries rate better.
(Source: http://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi/index.asp)
78 Regulatory Quality measures the ability of the government to formulate and implement sound policies and regulations that permit and promote private sector development. 79 Rule of Law measures the extent to which agents have confidence in and abide by the rules of society, in particular the quality of contract enforcement, the police, and the courts, as well as the likelihood of crime and violence. 80 Control of Corruption measures the extent to which public power is exercised for private gain, including petty and grand forms of corruption, as well as “capture” of the state by elites and private interests.

Annex 19: Transparency International: Corruption Perceptions Index82
Transparency International published an annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) table that shows a country's ranking and score, the number of surveys used to determine the score, and the confidence range of the scoring.

laws so that they may enter into force. It is published by the National
Printing House in two series: Laws, Decree-Laws, decisions by the Constitutional Court and other relevant texts are published in Series I; regulations, public contracts, etc. are published in Series II. As in many other countries, legislative texts enter into force only after being published.
L
LAW
The word law can be used with three different meanings, according to the intended scope. In the broadest sense, law is every legal rule, written or not, and covers the habits and all rules formally produced by the State. In a broad sense, law is the written legal rule, excluding legal habit. In a strict sense, it means the normative act by excellence, issued from the National Parliament.
LAW-MAKING
Science that studies the ways of designing and writing normative acts. In colloquial terms, law-making is the art of drafting laws well, in the sense that it consubstantiates a set of rules – law-making rules – the purpose of which is to contribute to a good drafting of laws.
LEGAL PROCEDURES Set of legal requirements for starting a process.

P
PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION
In organic or subjective sense, Public Administration is the set of State bodies, services and agents, as well as the further public legal persons, which ensures the satisfying of various collective needs, such as security, culture, health and the wellbeing of the populations. A person employed by Public Administration is called a civil servant. It can also be defined objectively as the concrete and immediate activity that States develop for ensuring collective interests, and subjectively as the set of legal bodies and persons to which the Law attributes the exercise of the administrative function of the State. Under the operational aspect, Public Administration is the perennial and systematic, legal and

technical development of the services belonging to the State, benefiting the whole.
PROMULGATION
Internal legal act by which the President of the Republic attests the existence of a duly ratified law, Decree-Law, treaty, etc., and order its execution within the territory. It is important to highlight the difference, in practical terms, between the effects of ratification and those of promulgation. If a State ratifies a treaty but does not promulgate it (and if its constitutional law requires promulgation), the conventional text is mandatory in the international sphere but not in the internal one. In this case, the State in question may be asked by other Contracting Parts to fulfill some of its conventional obligations, but one of its internal bodies may refuse to do so because of lack of promulgation. The faulty State then incurs in a situation of international accountability.
PROJECT OF LAW Text presented by the Deputies or Parliamentary Group to the Parliament, so that the latter can pronounce on it.
PROPOSAL OF LAW Idem to Draft Law R RATIFICATION Confirmation, authentication of an act or commitment: ratify a Treaty.
REPEAL Removing validity through a different rule. The repealed rule leaves the system, interrupting its force. The rule ceases to be valid, to belong to the legal ordering, and to have special relevance in dogmatic terms.
REVALIDATION Reposition in force of a previously revoked law (or legal precept). S
STATE
Institution organized politically, socially and legally, occupying a defined territory, normally where the maximum law is a written Constitution, and rules by a Government whose sovereignty is acknowledged both internally and internationally. A sovereign State is characterized by the saying "One government, one people, one territory".
STATE GENERAL
BUDGET
Planning instrument that expresses Government Programs monetarily, in order for a financial exercise, discriminating the objectives and goals to be achieved by the Public Administration.
T - U
UNCONSTITUTIONALITY
Contrariety of the law or normative act (resolution, decrees) regarding the Constitution.
