Key Findings
Full Description

The law of 4 October 2006 fixing the number of ministries at seventeen and setting out their names, recovered from the SGCM archive.

The instrument matters more than its length suggests. The corpus holds organic decrees for individual ministries, annual procurement plans filed per institution, and budget execution reported by institution; all of those presuppose a definitive list of what the ministries are. This law is that list.

It is also the text against which the later institutional history reads: every subsequent creation of a ministry, and every renaming, is an amendment to this instrument or a departure from it.
