The Consultant role of the Independent Administrative Authorities in the Algerian legal system

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the advisory role that the Algerian legislator has granted to the independent administrative authorities, In addition to the economic regulatory function that the independent administrative authorities exercise primarily, they also exercise the advisory function on an incidental basis by providing advisory opinions on government policies in the sectors that they are responsible for regulating, as a major player in them.

The study concluded that the advisory function of independent administrative authorities in Algeria varies between general advisory powers, such as providing opinions, proposals, and recommendations on all matters related to their area of expertise, and specific advisory powers, such as proposing draft laws related to the sector they regulate. Advice is provided either at the request of the advisory body, whether mandatory or optional, or on its own initiative within the framework of the self-notification mechanism.
