Recovery and resilience scoreboard.Modernisation of public administration and the delivery of public services
European Commission
The Commission is developing an indicator-based assessment framework for public administration with the intention
of capturing public administrations’ strengths and weaknesses in policymaking, human resources management, service
delivery, accountability and public financial management. The framework is inspired by the Principles of Public Administration
developed by SIGMA, a joint initiative between the EU and the OECD.The public administration policy area covered in this fiche focuses on measures linked to four of these principles:
This paper is part of a series of thematic analysis undertaken by the European Commission to illustrate the impact of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The RRF is the European Union’s largest ever funding instrument and is intended to support European economies and societies to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and build resilience against future shocks. EU Member States commit to implement ambitious reforms and investments and receive funds from the RRF when they achieve these commitments.

Public Administration Reforms in Greece during the Economic Adjustment Programmes
Nikitas, Vasilis; Vasilopoulou, Vasiliki
This paper summarises the approach taken by the European Commission during the Economic Adjustment
Programmes (2010 to 2018) to address reforms to Greece’s public administration. It will argue that it was
necessary to address this structural reform area as part of the programmes as well as post-programme
surveillance. The paper will explain the challenges the public administration was faced with at the outset of
the programme, as a number of macroeconomic imbalances that the Greek economy had accumulated prior to
the financial crisis can demonstrably be linked to the weaknesses of the public administration. A reform of the
public administration was therefore urgently needed and formed a key element of all three programmes. The
benchmarking of structural policies revealed that Greece was underperforming relative to the EU average in
many policy domains. Therefore, Greece needed to review the overall functioning and capacity of its public
sector as well as addressing its public sector wage bill, which was well above the Eurozone average.

European Commission
Democracy is one of the fundamental values on which the European Union is founded. To ensure the functioning of a representative democracy on the European level, the treaties determine that the citizens of the European Union are directly represented in the European Parliament. The right to freedom of association and the right to freedom of expression are fundamental rights of every citizen of the Union. Political parties fulfil an essential role in a representative democracy, creating a direct link between the citizens and the political system, thereby enhancing the legitimacy of the system. The same happens at European level: according to Article 10 of the Treaty on European Union, "political parties at European level contribute to forming European political awareness and to expressing the will of citizens of the Union". Article 12(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union expresses the same principle. Fostering political debate across Europe on European issues through vibrant European political parties is a long standing Commission objective.
