Rolul Mediatorului European in respectarea dreptului la bună administrare
Role of the European Mediator with the observance of the right to good administration

Summary/Abstract: Regulated by the new Charter of the Fundamental Rights, the right to good administration involves that every person has the right to have his or her affairs handled impartially, fairly and within a reasonable time by the institutions and bodies of the Union. This also involves certain elementary requirements related to the administrative conduct, the citizens’ right to express themselves, the right to access to their own files, as well as the obligation of the administration to give reasons for its decisions and the right to have the Community compensate for any damage caused by its institutions or by its servants in the performance of their duties. The European Mediator institution was initiated to monitor the way the right to good administration is observed, its mandate being limited to the cases of bad administration imputable to the Community institutions and bodies. Thus, the European Mediator is a mechanism regulating the activity of the European Community institutions by means of its decision-making bodies, while being a regulator monitoring and implementing the observance of human rights within the Community. Therefore, the European Mediator controls the good or the bad administration in terms of application of the Community law norms in all the Member States.
