The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the Fiscal Guard's request to update the fee schedule for special surveillance services at national ports. The Finance Minister issued a normative decree to increase emoluments based on the 1943 decree, but the court found this action exceeded the legislative authority granted by the 1967 decree. Consequently, the court ruled that the Minister lacked the power to alter the fee table without legislative approval.
