5.1 Splošni podatki o delovnih telesih

V letu 2006 je v Državnem zboru Republike Slovenije Sestava delovnih teles odraža sestavo Državnega zbora delovalo devet komisij in štirinajst odborov. Ustanovljena kot celote, v posameznih primerih pa je mogoče zaslediti je bila sicer še ena komisija, in sicer Komisija po Zakonu tudi določena odstopanja. Takšen primer je eno od dveh o nezdružljivosti opravljanja javne funkcije s pridobitno nadzornih delovnih teles, kjer poslanci koalicije nimajo dejavnostjo (Uradni list RS, št. 20/06), ki naj bi pričela večine. Ravno tako obstaja v nekaterih delovnih telesih opravljati svojo funkcijo z dnem uveljavitve navedenega povsem specifičen način dela, zaradi česar jih ni mogoče zakona, torej 9.6.2006. Po sklepu Ustavnega sodišča, št. U- enostavno primerjati z drugimi; tak primer je, na primer, I-57/06-10 z dne 13.4.2006 (Uradni list RS, št. 46/2006), pa Komisija za poslovnik, ki izdeluje mnenja o poslovniških se je izvrševanje navedenega zakona zadržalo do končne določilih in odgovarja na vprašanja v zvezi s poslovnikom, odločitve Ustavnega sodišča. Glede na to, da navedena vendar pa to ni navedeno med statističnimi postavkami v komisija še ne opravlja svoje funkcije, v tem poročilu nismo pričujočih tabelah. Tudi za druge komisije velja, da zaradi prikazali podatkov o njeni sestavi. njihovih specifičnih nalog prikazani podatki o delu niso enostavno primerljivi s podatki odborov.

Glede na skupno število mest (298) v vseh delovnih telesih so bile posamezne poslanske skupine na dan 31.12.2006 zastopane takole:

• PS SDS - 94 mest ( 31,54 %), • PK LDS - 75 mest ( 25,17 %), • PS SD - 33 mest (11,07 %), • PS NSi - 29 mest (9,73 %), • PS SLS - 23 mest (7,72 %), • PS SNS - 19 mest (6,38 %), • PS DeSUS – 15 mest (5,03 %), • poslanca italijanske in madžarske narodne skupnosti skupaj - 10 mest (3,36 %).

Do 31.12.2006 v okviru delovnih teles Državnega zbora ni bil ustanovljen noben pododbor ali delovna skupina.
