way as the  Federal Minister whom s/he supports; the number of state 
secretaries may vary, they are bound by the instructions of the 
respective ministers. Formally they do not form part of the federal 
government, but do attend the sessions of the Council of Ministers in 
an advisory capacity. In coalitions they are entrusted with monitoring 
the coalition partner(s).
