to issue unilaterally binding legal instruments (especially on the 
basis of laws) and orders, and, if necessary, to execute them by means 
of coercion. A public authority can consist of a single person (e.g. 
Federal Minister, Landeshauptmann, District Commissioner) or of a body

authorities are supported by offices or agencies (e.g. Federal 
Ministry, Office of the Provincial Government). In terms of
