ECONOMIC AND LEGAL PRINCIPLES OF THE EUROPEANIZATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW OF UKRAINE THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE FRENCH ADMINISTRATIVE LAW SYSTEM

The process of Ukraine's integration into the European Union necessitates the harmonization of the national administrative and legal system with European standards. One of the most developed and influential models of administrative law in Europe is the French one, which combines an effective institutional structure of public administration, effective mechanisms for protecting citizens' rights and economic feasibility of regulation. Analysis of the French experience is especially important for Ukraine in the context of public administration reform, decentralization and increasing transparency of government activities. Therefore, the study of the economic and legal foundations of the Europeanization of administrative law of Ukraine through the prism of the French model is relevant both in scientific and practical terms, as it contributes to the formation of an effective, accountable and citizen-oriented public administration. The purpose of the study is to analyze the economic and legal foundations of French administrative law and determine the possibilities of their adaptation for the harmonization of the administrative and legal system of Ukraine with the standards of the European Union. The research methodology consists of comparative legal, empirical and formal-dogmatic methods, as well as induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis methods, which together provide a comprehensive and systematic study. The article analyzes the economic and legal foundations of the Europeanization of administrative law in Ukraine through the prism of the French administrative law system. In particular, a comparative analysis of the French and Ukrainian administrative law systems is carried out in order to identify European trends that shape the legal architecture of Ukrainian administrative law in the context of European integration. The authors state that although French administrative law has a tradition of over two hundred years, and Ukrainian administrative law has only begun to be institutionally formed since the 1990s, both systems tend to share common principles of the rule of law, public accountability and effective administration. It is emphasized that in France there is no formal distinction of administrative law into general and special, instead there is a substantive differentiation into institutional and functional areas - administrative police, public enterprises, healthcare, security, civil service, etc. In Ukraine, on the contrary, a clear distinction has been introduced into general, special and special administrative law, which corresponds to the structure of national legislation and the practice of its codification. It is emphasized that the French system is based on the case law of the French Council of State, while the Ukrainian one is based on codified administrative proceedings. The generalization of the results of the comparison indicates the gradual Europeanization of Ukrainian administrative law through the implementation of both regulatory and institutional principles of public administration. The French experience serves as a guideline for improving the Ukrainian administrative model, ensuring compliance with European Union standards and developing the doctrinal basis of national law.
