Abstract:

The Principles of Public Administration are a comprehensive framework of standards expressing values and behaviours that citizens and businesses expect from a modern public administration. They were designed to guide the European Union (EU) enlargement and neighbourhood administrations in their reform efforts to address the shortcomings in their public administrations and meet the EU requirements on one of the “fundamentals” of the accession process.

The Principles were developed by SIGMA, a joint initiative of the EU and the OECD, principally financed by the EU, at the request of the European Commission (EC). The Principles build on existing EU acquis, OECD legal instruments, other international standards, as well as good practices of the EU and OECD countries.
