Summary/Abstract: Political leaders in the European Union are confronted with a complex issue. Citizens want the authorities to find solutions to the major problems they face, but they do not trust EU institutions and policies. This situation, recognized by national parliaments and governments, is particularly acute at the level of the European Union. There is mistrust that a complex political-administrative system can apply viable, successful policies. Citizens want the European Union to be the first to take advantage of globalization opportunities in terms of economic development and to respond to the challenges of the environment, unemployment, food security, crime and regional conflicts. The Union must act as transparent as national governments. Democratic institutions and citizens' representatives, both at national and European level, have a duty to ensure respect for European Union law. This is the initial condition for the development of effective and relevant policies. The development of a legal and administrative system for the protection of human rights in the European Union's administrative space is a major objective for the EU institutions.
