Standardizing Administrative Procedure Case of Republic of Macedonia in context to EU Integration

Abstract

In this paper, the authors define and review the goals and principles
of the administrative procedure, as well as presenting an overview of
setting standards in the administrative procedure by some of the most
influential organizations in Europe: the Council of Europe and the EU,
as well as other mechanisms set in place to harmonize national
legislation with the normative standards set by the above. The authors
propose a theoretical framework to explain this process, and analyse the
process of administrative procedure harmonization in the Balkan Region
under Sigma.
The starting premise is that EU member states still retain national
legasilation with specifics that best suit the national administrative
systems and differ from state to state. A narrower scope of research in
this paper is the need to codify and/or unify administrative procedure in
a set of acts or single acts, that would regulate principles and other
matters in a uniform fashion for all member states of the EU.
