Towards a Good Governance of the European Union Core Values in Romania
Towards a Good Governance of the European Union Core Values in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The values of the European Union are the foundation of good governance, influencing the activity of public administration in each Member State and giving security, continuity and predictability to governance. Good governance designed and implemented by the European Union provides an overview widely applied in all 27 Member States, interfering with their own values, principles and policies and at the same time being able to withstand changes in governance. In order to achieve the proposed objective, the article addresses both the legislation of the European Union and Romania, as well as the literature and current perspectives on good governance of the fundamental values present in the life of the European Union. The article analyses the rule of law, democracy and human rights in the light of the core values of the European Union, corroborated with inclusion, transparency, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability of government, being part of the culture of public administration, and the way they are implemented by Romania following the results of their compliance. Based on these issues, good governance and good administration are discussed as concrete evidence of the commitment of states to respect the fundamental values and principles of the European Union. As strengthening the European dimension requires respect for fundamental values, which is a sine qua non condition for the European Union and the Member States, we believe that visible results and examples of good practice can be identified for Member States and third parties interested in integrating into the European Union.
