The committees prepare legislation in the domain of armed defence, civil protection, economic defence, arms enterprises, peace and security policy, civil service, and the disarmourment and exportation of war materials.

Composition of the Committee

The composition of the committees reflects the numerical strength of each party in the parliament.
