Abstract
The emergence of European Union (EU) structures and their ongoing development has led to a visible strengthening of the status of the European Union administration officials. This is due to the European Union broadening the scope of its tasks and an increasingly higher level of complexity of the matters that the European Union engages with (directly or indirectly). As a result, there is a significant discrepancy between the status of an EU administration official and a national one. The latter does not enjoy as many privileges as the former. Thus, in spite of analogies evident between the two types of officials, there are also notable differences that stem indirectly from the systems of administration in which they function. The following paper attempts to explain the causes for similarities and differences between the status of administration officials of the EU and their national counterparts. It also specifically focuses on the status of an EU administration official. Keywords: European Union, administration officials
Highlights
The paper operates on the premise that EU administration officials work in a very particular manner due to the specific nature of the international organization they are employed
The provisions of the treaties formed by politicians at the top of the EU hierarchy, as well as other decisions made by people managing particular EU institutions, have to be properly implemented and applied in each Member State
It is a strict condition for EU administration officials to be impartial in the performance of their duties, and not to make judgments based on their nationality or political alignments[1]
