European Public Administration Report – Efficiency and Effectiveness of Government in the EU

The study compares public administration costs and performance across European countries. It uses Eurostat data to show how much governments spend, how costs are distributed between central, regional and local levels, and how different structures may relate to efficiency and effectiveness.

The report focuses on staff costs, operating costs and government-financed services. It highlights structural differences between countries but treats the data as a starting point, not as a final assessment. Detailed conclusions require further country-specific analysis.
