The True Nature of European Administration. Comparative analysis facilitates an understanding of the differences between European administration and that of the Member States. The basis of the System is founded upon the classical European model, rather than the purely French model. The homogeneity of the structures is opposed by the heterogeneity of administrative culture. A static number of personnel in the wake of successive enlargements and the development of competencies helps explain the excessive use of experts and delegation. Comparison with the Swedish model, which is itself different from the classical European model, reveals further deficiencies and suggests that the construction of a model capable of taking into account the specificity of European administration should be recommended.
