In the National Assembly as in the Senate "the Bureau has all powers
necessary to preside over the deliberations [of the House and to] organise and
direct" its services.
In this role it falls to the Bureau, by a general Instruction, to complete and
fill out the Rules of Procedure.
In the same way it is the Bureau which agrees the internal rules on the
operation of services and the status of staff.
It should be noted that besides its general functions of administration of the
House and direction of its operations, it is the Bureau which governs matters
relating to control of the status of Members of Parliament: ensuring adherence
to the rules regarding incompatibilities, the keeping and analysis of declarations
of assets, authorisation of law suits outside sessions.
