19.1. The Minister of Energy and Resources may, within the scope of the responsibilities and powers entrusted to him, issue guidelines on the objectives and orientation of the Company in the carrying out of the duties entrusted to it by law.
Those guidelines must be submitted to the Government for approval. If they are thus approved, they are binding upon the Company, which must comply with them.
Every guideline issued under this section must be tabled before the National Assembly, if it is in session, within fifteen days of its approval by the Government. If the guideline is issued while the National Assembly is not in session, the guideline must be tabled within fifteen days of the opening of the next session or within fifteen days of resumption, as the case may be.
