Representation: Local Executive Authorities do not have common representation. Each Head of LEA is appointed by the President and is subordinated to the President through the Presidential Administration. In previous years, the President used to organise meetings with all heads of LEAs. There is no organisation or Association representing the interests of LEAs.

Information: Once the law, the presidential decree or the relevant instructions are adopted, these documents are published in the official newspaper. Furthermore, LEAs receive instructions and letters from the Presidential Administration and Cabinet of Ministers, requiring the LEAs to implement the above-mentioned order or law.

Consultation: At the LEA level there is no statutory provision on the consultation process. The LEA merely implements the decisions taken at the central level.
