The Sources of Administrative Law and their Role in Consecrating the Administrative Space of European Union
Abstract
At the level of the European Union, we cannot find a proper law in the sector of publicadministration , there are no precise regulations of administrative law within the legislation of the EuropeanUnion therefore we cannot talk about a system of administrative law characterized by written laws. Theexperience of half a century in European integration has proved, given the diversity of the systems ofEuropean law that the most important activity of the European judge was to create the law, to cover somegaps, to define or redefine the principles of administrative law. Since the jurisprudence of the Court of Justiceof the European Union has known a more and more development and recognition in the past decades andespecially at the level of the member states, the European administrative law has been identified with theseprinciples that seem to be defining it in the future in the lack of a general codification of what we call anEuropean administrative space. The purpose of this research is to understand the sources of the Europeanadministrative law analyzing at the same time the legislation of the European Union as well as thejurisprudence of the Court of justice and the other instances of the European Union.
