and two new authorities – the Regional
State Administrative Agencies (AVI) and
the Centre for Economic Development,
Transport and the Environment (ELY)
were established.
AVI (6 units) fosters regional parity by
executing all legislative implementation,
steering and supervision functions in the
regions.

the Ministry of Finance, but other ministries
also have a steering role. ELY has
15 units. Its function is to streamline the
role, duties, steering and regional division
of all regional state administrative
authorities, and development tasks in the
regions.
