Evolution, Content, Functions, Effectiveness, and Enforcement of the Pan-European General Principles of Good Administration of the Council of Europe

该项目旨在探讨实施泛欧洲良好行政原则的演变、内容、功能、有效性和可能性。这些体现在欧洲委员会丰富的国际公约、欧洲委员会部长委员会的建议、其其他各种机构(如威尼斯委员会)的决议和欧洲人权法院的判例法中。这些来源经常相互参照并建立在一起。项目“第一阶段”于2020年完成，对泛欧良好行政原则的渊源进行了评估，确定了这些原则的范围和涵盖的主题，并分析了这些原则对欧洲共同体成员国行政法的协调效果和限度，从而分析了它们在这些法律秩序中的效力。这是在来自28个欧洲共同体成员国的专家的帮助下完成的。确定了一种国家做法，根据这种做法，这些原则作为“一揽子”，具体体现了“欧洲共同体规约”第3条所述的欧洲共同体的创始价值观。因此，这些原则作为区域国际法对欧洲共同体成员国具有约束力。它们的发展是欧洲共同体成员国在“良好”行政法要求方面的共同历史经验的结果。然而，作为一个“一揽子”，这些原则对于如何以及在多大程度上将这些原则落实到国家法律体系中，给欧洲共同体成员国留下了很大的赞赏余地。在此基础上，该项目目前的“第二阶段”旨在从不同的欧洲行政法律文化的角度，逐个主题地解释不同的泛欧良好行政一般原则的内容和功能，并用欧洲人权委员会判例法、欧洲共同体机构的报告以及国家和联盟法律渊源的材料进行“说明”。这一陈述既可以为比较行政法提供一个参考点，也可以为审查国家行政法的具体“结构”是否以及在多大程度上尊重第3条的限制提供背景资料。此外，该项目还将分析“作为一个整体”的泛欧良好管理的一般法律原则是否也是欧盟法律的一般原则的表述，以及欧洲联盟(欧盟)是否能够以及以何种方式对欧盟成员国及其联系的欧洲伙伴国执行和促进遵守这些原则。

The project aims to explore the evolution, the content, the functions, the effectiveness and the possibilities of enforcing the pan-European principles of good administration. These are expressed in the rich trove of international conventions of the Council of Europe (CoE), recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the CoE, resolutions of its other various bodies (such as the Venice Commission) and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). These sources often refer to and build upon each other. They from a ‘coherent whole’, specifying as a ‘package’ concrete legal requirements for the administrative law of the CoE Member States in order to legitimize administrative action and to ensure the respect of the rule of law and individual rights by the administration.‘Phase 1’ of the project, completed in 2020, took stock of the sources of the pan-European principles of good administration, identified their range and the topics they cover and analysed their harmonizing effect and its limits for the administrative law of the CoE Member States and, thus, their effectiveness within these legal orders. This was done with the help of experts from 28 CoE Member States. A state practice was identified according to which these principles, as a ‘package’, concretise the founding values of the CoE as mentioned in Article 3 of the Statute of the CoE (SCoE). Thus, these principles are binding upon the CoE Member States as regional international law. Their development is the result of the CoE Member States' common historical experience with regard to the requirements of a ‘good’ administrative law. However, as a ‘package’, these principles leave a wide margin of appreciation to the CoE Member States as to how and to what extent these principles are to be implemented into the national legal system. In particular, they do not lead to the harmonisation of the (considerable) differences in the "administrative legal mindsets" of the CoE Member States.Building on this, the current ‘phase 2’ of the project aims to explain the content and function of the different pan-European general principles of good administration, topic by topic, from the perspective of different European administrative legal cultures and ‘illustrated’ with material from the case law of the ECtHR, the reports of the CoE institutions as well as national and Union law sources. This presentation can provide both a point of reference for comparative administrative law and background information for examining whether and to what extent the concrete ‘configuration’ of national administrative law respects the limits of Article 3 SCoE. Furthermore, the project will analyse whether the pan-European general legal principles of good administration ‘as a package’ are also an expression of general principles of Union law and whether and by what means the European Union (EU) can enforce and promote their observance both vis-à-vis EU Member States and its Associated European Partner States.
