Europeanization of Law in Poland – Public Administration and Local Energy Security

Abstract:

The article presents the Europeanization process of law in Poland and its influence upon Polish public administration and local energy security. Administrative law organizational structures were indicated along with the functional rules as well as methods and legal operation forms. Community law approach to the provisions of the Constitution of Poland was noted. The considerations related to the Europeanization have led to the ,,European Administrative Space” definition, as a model for public administration aimed at achieving common and similar administrative solutions. Furthermore, the community law impact on office clerks behaviour has been presented as well as their attitude to the administration clients. Due to this, the European Code of Good Administration Behaviour (ECGAB) has been subject to analysis. The analysis shows that the Code Good Administration (CGA) and the ECGAB directly relate to the holistic competency model in public administration in the field of application skills and social maturity. Due to the brief nature of this paper Authors decided to address europeization of local energy security, although the overall effect of Europeization can be observed in many other areas related to security. The conclusion is that, despite of the fact that the Europeization of both administrative law and energy law has been progressing the local energy security in Poland is still not at the desired level therefore further improvement is needed.
