The Higher Authority of the Civil Service (HACS) got a twofold mission of rationalisation and democratisation of the empire's civil service system. In practice the HACS has mainly privileged rationalisation, which was leading to independence. The objective of democratisation, making civil servants "servants of the entire nation", has not been realised; furthermore, the system of HACS recomendations is undergoing a crisis since the beginning of the eighties. The activities of local authorities have increased more than ever, leading to disparities between local officials. On the whole, the latter are becoming more open to society than the officials of ministerial departments
