Summary/Abstract: In this study we will deal with the right to good administration which includes: any person’s right to be heard before taking any potentially harmful individual action; people’s right of access to their own file, in compliance with legitimate rights regarding confidentiality and professional and trade secrecy; administration’s obligation to state the grounds for their own decisions. We will mainly introduce the most important aspects regarding central and local public administration’s adaptation to the concept of good administration and good governance throughout Romania’s integration in the EuropeanUnion. Additionally, the study will analyse the characteristics of good governance: political dimension of the concept, which involves a competitive multi-party system in the democratic policies and observance of human rights; institutional dimension represented by how the country’s affairs are managed; the technical dimension capitalised by the management quality and institutional capacity. Establishment of the European Ombudsman by the Maastricht Treaty, taken over in Romania by the institution of the People’s Lawyer, creates the premises of a control over the public institutions or public authorities with regards to maladministration.
