    and accountability mechanisms. [...] Although the EAS does not constute an agreed part of the

    If we aempt to systemise the main administrave law principles common to western European

    countries, we could disnguish the following groups: 1) reliability and predictability (legal certainty);

    2) openness and transparency; 3) accountability and 4) eciency and eecveness. (C

    for the purpose of reserving a post to naonals, employment in public administraon had to be

    dened as employment characterisc of the specic acvies of public administraon as implyingthe exercise of powers of public law and safeguarding the general interests of the state or local

    The rst consequence is the obligaon to proceed to a classicaon of jobs and careers in order to

    determine whether they should be opened up or not. Then a series of steps have to be taken in order

    to ensure mutual recognion of qualicaons and professional experience in public services, which

    can lead to a reappraisal of exisng systems of training and mobility. Furthermore possibilies have

    to be created for internaonal mobility of civil servants within the Union: this has an impact on the

    an asymmetry between the regulaon of market-related administrave proceedings and other types

    of administrave proceedings has developed. Signicant dierences have emerged, depending on

    [t]he level of administrave adaptaon cannot be directly deduced from the respecve policy (where

    one regulaon facilitates the naonal adaptaon more than another) nor do systemac dierences

    exist in the countries regarding their capability to adapt. In other words, domesc change and

    persistence follow no simple country-based or policy-based logic. As a consequence, we not only

    observe administrave convergence, but also (and to a similar extend) divergence or persistence

    by virtue of a duty of loyal co-operaon under the Treaty (arcle 10), are required to take all

    necessary steps to ensure full implementaon of these provisions. Eecve implementaon of EC

    Law (the principle of eecveness) is an obligaon imposed to Member States by the Treaes and

    its fullment is veried by the European Court of Jusce on a case-by-case basis.(Nzz 2001: 5f)

    in the rst thirty years aer the Treaty of Rome, the common wisdom was that European

    administrave law did not exist. [...] Implementaon of direcves, regulaons, and other formsof Community legislaon was the responsibility of naonal administraons subject to their unique

    tradions of constuonal and administrave law, in what is know as indirect administraon

    (B 2004: 3f; l C 2004).

    Taking a closer look, then, at the enforcement of Community law, there is no convergence on the

    means of applicaon [...]; what counts is to ensure that applicaon meets certain standards of

    eecveness. That this is both a radial approach and an eecve one hardly needs emphasis.

    [A] main nding (although with many nuances) is that there has been no revoluonary change in

    any of the naonal systems and no signicant convergence towards a common instuonal model,

    homogenizing the domesc structures of the European states.(Ol 2001)

    compable with the maintenance of disnct naonal instuonal arrangements and there is even

    reconrmaon and restoraon of established naonal structures and pracces. In sum, structural

    diversity persists among the core domesc structures of governance in spite of increasing contact

    and compeon between naonal models. Established naonal paerns are resistant but also

    exible enough to cope with changes at the European level(Ol 2001).
