doc.JUDr.Soňa Skulová, Ph.D. Principles of Good Governance

Principles of Good Governance -term, origin - requirements, guidelines for the proper performance of public administration in the modern legal state - developed and applied in the European administrative area (= systems of public administrations of member countries of the Council of Europe, the EC / EU and the EU itself) generally recognized

Principles of Good Governance - content = standards (level, quality) of public administration - many established and contained in the law (legally binding) - advocated the practice of other documents, procedures and mechanisms (political, ethical, managerial) + expected by the community (citizens, businesses,..)

Principles of Good Governance - role – 1. Serve: o fulfillment of the "right to good administration" - Article 41 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights; Nice 2000; a policy document, but already used in the jurisprudence of the Court of First Instance and the ECJ = becoming legally binding o implementation of the constitutional principles of rule of law in terms of public administration (the Constitution, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms) = fundament of the relationships between citizens and public administration

Principles of Good Governance - role – 2. Serve: as a criteria for the activity of the Ombudsman for achieving compliance with the requirements of the right to a fair (equitable) administrative proceedings for correct interpretation and application of other provisions of the legislation - specific laws, implementing regulations, …

Principles of Good Governance - role – 3. Assist understand and respect judicature, which is based on the principles of: - ECJ, ECHR - Constitutional Court - administrative courts - general courts reduce the risk of improper or unlawful decisions and practices of public administration.

Principles of Good Governance - general role: Affect proper and good functioning of the public administration (administrative bodies), fulfill their goals and tasks, using appropriate methods and correct forms of activity (and precisely) from the perspective of public interest and the rights and interests of citizens.

Principles of Good Governance Therefore serve in general: - implementation of requirements (ideas) of justice and rationality (reasonability) / good / public administration, - eliminate or reduce risks associated with improper exercise of public administration ( "bad governance" - "mal-administration").

Principles of Good Governance - risks of breach Possible side effects: - Administrative review under the Code of Administrative Procedure - Judicial review of administrative decisions, acts, inactivity - Liability for damage - Penalties under the special laws - Labour (staff - disciplinary) penalties - + Political and social implications (dissatisfaction affect on the results of the elections, petitions, assembly, strikes, negative news in the media,...)

Principles of Good Governance - nature, binding – 1. Many of the legal nature (and thus legally binding) - define mandatory requirements on the procedures and decisions of a legal nature (= governed by the law, with legal consequences). Some of them are the nature of value / "content" / - focusing on justice, protection of rights, etc. Often they guide the content of the decision (proportionality, predictability, protection of public interest,... ).

Principles of Good Governance - nature, binding – 2. Some - the nature of the procedural / "technical" / - how to deal with (solve) procedural issues (timeliness, speed, procedural equality, process economics,...). But the two categories operate in terms material and process = question of appropriateness, accuracy of the procedural and substantive issues) or guidance. How to decide, how to proceed.

Principles of Good Governance - nature, binding – 3. Some principles: - of the ethics (courtesy, politeness) nature (content, origin) - from the area of efficiency (economy - costs, speed, finding adequate solution) Some of them drawn to the regulation: legally binding

Principles of Good Governance - means of adjustment – 1. Explicitly Implicitly (tacit - without directly naming or definition) = may be drawn of the express provisions of the Constitution, the Charter, international agreements... - e.g.. the principle of proper justification (reasoning), or "ne bis in idem"

Principles of Good Governance - means of adjustment – 2. = similar to general legal principles, i.e. the basic guidelines, the main ideas (objectives), standards - Principles of Good Governance – act (operate) in terms of public administration. - Means of adjustment (How they are set up) - does not affect the validity of principles. Apply both - explicit and implicit principles!!!

Principles of Good Governance - effect of principles – 1. - As a general legal principles (principles of administrative law) - Higher legal force than the "simple" rules (some of them represent the constitutional principles) - Guideline for the interpretation of the rules (individual provisions must be interpreted in accordance with the principles)

Principles of Good Governance - effect of principles – 2. - Principles (as opposed to the rules) are not mutually exclusive, on the contrary apply simultaneously (= the need for balance, finding an appropriate use, including a compromise - an amicable solution). - Apply directly only if the law does not provide in a specific rule something else (otherwise "only" affect the interpretation and application of rules).

Principles of Good Governance - effect of principles – 3. -apply directly -in the area of administrative discretion (discretionary power) -where the law does not / at all or not all the necessary / specific rules, aspects, solution = in public administration quite often As a guide for the proper solution! -apply directly -in the area of administrative discretion (discretionary power) -where the law does not / at all or not all the necessary / specific rules, aspects, solution = in public administration quite often As a guide for the proper solution!

Principles of Good Governance - legal binding - enforceability Principles of Good Governance (of the legal nature): - are legally binding (set by the law), - can be legally claimed (by means of administrative/judicial review), - can be used for the argumentation (from the point of view of the parties to the proceedings and also administrative bodies).

Principles of Good Governance = guidelines for legal, reasonable, predictable, non-discriminatory, objective, timely (well-timed), adequate, appropriate, effective, economical,.... GOOD, SUCCESSFUL… solutions and procedures of public administration (administrative bodies).
