Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the reasons that determined the European Commission to evaluate administrative capacities of its Member States and to take them into account as criteria for EU membership. The main conclusion that can be drawn is that the EU has little direct competences in the field of public administration of its Member States and Candidate Countries, though it appears that high administrative capacities are among the priorities of EU accession requirements. As regards Member States, the article discusses the appearance of principles of good administration in several EU documents.
