Certain Characteristics of the European Administrative Space Concept

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the basic characteristics of the European Administrative Space (EAS). Given that the EAS Project had started a few decades ago, the European Union, being a pragmatic organisation, has strived to gradually increase the convergence between national administrative systems and administrative practices of the Member States in view of an absence of its direct or shared competences in this area. It was an evolutionary process in which the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union played a significant role. The European Ombudsman has also played a significant role in adopting the European Code of Good Administrative Behaviour which was confirmed by the European Parliament by the Resolution of 6 September 2001. The paper also emphasises the role of the Council of Europe as the oldest political organisation in Europe which, through the Committee of Ministers, adopts recommendations aimed at creating common standards governing administration. As a part of the Council of Europe's structure, the European Court of Human Rights adopted a number of judgements and decisions setting the administrative law standards through court precedents. An abundant case law should serve as a guide for the national courts of the Member States of the Council of Europe. During the preparation of the paper, the following methods were used: normative, historical, content analysis and exegetical (critical interpretation of texts). In the concluding discussion, the role of certain institutions listed above, which played a key role in the creation of the EAS, is further emphasized.
