The communes have no legilative power over matters relating to the national interest. They are required to provide public education, maintain the local road network, maintain basic public health and provide social security.
Other powers of the communes are :
supply of water, gas, electricity, land use planning, culture and sports
comprehensive health care including the maintenance of hospitals and clinics
provision of care to the elderly
