Quo vadis, supervisory control?

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of a supervisory control is to enable the responsible institution to obtain a comprehensive and reliable picture of all or part of the controlled institution’s activities and to make use of the experience gained from the control. Such an activity may cover, for example, staff management, the disciplinary situation, issues relating to the application of the law, the way in which files are handled or the way in which the body is managed. By the end of the 1970s, the need for a unified system of control and supervision had arisen, which took the form of Council of Ministers’ Decree No. 50/1977. (XII. 21.) MT on State Control. The change of regime led to the abolition of the socialist system of state (supervisory) control, which was understandable in the changed circumstances, but which meant that the central administration lost one of its most important information bases. The comprehensive legal regulation of a supervisory control under the new circumstances has not yet been completed. There have been proposals in jurisprudence, but their impact on practice has remained partial, with legislative products solving only partial issues rather than providing comprehensive answers in specific legal terms [e.g. Government Decree No. 86/2019. (23. IV.) on the capital and county government offices and the district (capital district) offices]. In my opinion, it would be important to elaborate a general system of supervisory control rules instead of/alongside the existing administrative law solutions, with regard to guarantee considerations and efficiency aspects.
