1 EU MEMBER STATE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE AND IMPACT OF INTERNATIONAL AND EU RULES: THE CASE OF POLAND Prof. zw. Dr. hab. Marek Wierzbowski Warsaw University; Partner of Prof. Marek Wierzbowski & Partners - Advocates and Legal Counselors Member of the Steering Committee of ReNEUAL

2 Administrative procedure in the EU Member states is far from unification. public and private law dichotomy different understanding of administrative act codification in some Member States only

3 However there are: similar procedural rules in sectors heavily regulated by the Union codification effort of European Parliament EP Resolution of 15 January 2013 private actions - ReNEUAL Model Rules on EU Administrative Procedure.

4 Polish Code of Administrative Procedure first codification administrative procedure Austrian pattern Code of Administrative Procedure 1960 adjudication (issuing individual acts) and petitions only judicial review, contracts, rulemaking, re-use of public information in separate statutes German Verwaltungsverfahrensgesetz, Austrian Allgemeines Verwaltungsverfahrensgesetz.

5 Administrative Procedure in EU and in International Law Treaties, Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, European Code of Good Administrative Behaviour sector specific and issue specific rules and procedures.

6 International law very little to do with administrative procedure, but..., treaties containing some rules concerning administrative procedure resolutions of Committee of Ministers of Council of Europe judicial decisions & arbitration awards

7 Rights recognized as a must for administrative procedure: the right to be heard, the right to have the matter handled impartially, fairly and within a reasonable time, the right to be given reasons, the right to access to the file, the right to be notified about decision, the right to be informed about remedies.

8 but... Recognition of the same principles does not mean that they are understood in the same way and provide the same protection! Let us look how the principles listed above have been regulated in the Polish Code of Administrative Procedure

9 The right to be heard Art. 41 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU. right to put forward facts, arguments, call for evidence. assumes other rights notification about commenced of proceedings, access to files, etc. who can exercise: prospective addressee or every person or entity affected? Poland: "party" - any entity whose legal situation may be affected by the decision.

10 Broad understanding of right to be heard (called right to participate in the proceedings) access to the file, duty of the administrative authority to take evidence requested by a party, being present during searches, examination of evidence including hearing of witnesses decision may be issued only after a party has been informed about the end of taking evidence and given time to comment on evidence collected.

11 The right to have the matter handled impartially, fairly and within a reasonable time. Charter: impartiality as an element of the right to good administration, impartiality - Code disqualifies officers in instances of conflict of interest. disqualification of the entire administrative authority case has been decided by the officer or authority which should be disqualified, then the entire matter shall be processed again by impartial officers.

12 independence fair treatment - duty to safeguard the parties to avoid any loses by the party due to its limited competence. time limits for completing proceedings: one month; complex matters two months; violation of time limit: extension, disciplinary penalty for the responsible officer, claim to the court tacit authorization, also called implied decision.

13 The right to access to the file constant access to the file during the entire period of the proceedings, notification to the party at the end of an investigation; than one week for access and comments

14 The right to be notified about decision closely linked with the right to be given reasons and right to be informed about remedies; every party to the proceedings shall be notified; moment of delivery, the time period for an appeal, duty to perform.

15 The right to be given reasons Charter's Art. 41; it is also expressly granted by art. 296 (2) TFEU "Legal acts shall state reasons on which they are based...". Polish Code: every decision shall contain reasons stating relevant facts and giving legal grounds of the decision. The only exception is decisions fully granting a right or privilege requested. However this exception does not apply to cases of the conflicting interests of different parties or decisions issued as a result of an appeal.

16 The right to be informed about remedies right to be informed about remedies - art. 107 on contents of the administrative decisions. appeal to a superior administrative authority, or to a specially established review board; then a claim can be brought to the administrative court, than cassation can be brought to the Supreme Administrative Court.

17 Examples of Direct Impact in Polish Procedure Law Code of Administrative Procedure Electronic communication No monopoly of Polish Post Reopening of administrative procedure in case of violation of equal treatment Sector specific legislation much more influence; Refugees Concentration of entrepreneurs Telecommunication etc.

18 Conclusion - some more general observations "imposed uniformity" versus "voluntary adoption" "vertical dimension" versus "horizontal dimension". conflict between fast, effective administration and the guarantee of procedural rights to the

19 Poland: procedural guaranties superior to other features of modern public administration? long duration of administrative cases in Poland - special legislation concerning matters of the construction of highways, airports, telecommunication infrastructure etc.

20 rules of administrative procedure are generally recognized as a domestic matter - in reality need for unification EU has play an important role in the development of standards of administrative procedure, principles which can be found in primary law, case-law developed by the Court of Justice, secondary legislation, soft law or commitments by EU institutions.
