ENHANCING THE EUROPEAN ADMINISTRATIVE SPACE (ComPAct)

Abstract

In a rapidly evolving world, faced with complex economic, social, technological and environmental changes, as well as multiple transitions, high quality public administrations are essential1 for good governance and for the effectiveness of EU and Member States’ action. The public sector needs to be action-oriented, tackle emerging challenges, while strengthening public trust. Besides dealing with severe external shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, it is paramount for the EU to continue addressing climate and environmental challenges, build resilient and sustainable economies and fair societies, foster the long-term competitiveness of the EU economy, shape the digital transformation of services and the work environment, promote democracy and play a strong role in the world.
