Abstract: This edited volume critically analyses the existing 'EU ethical framework' while contextualising it within the unique transnational setting that characterises the EU public administration and its various institutions. Moving beyond single institutions, the volume adopts an exhaustive approach to analyse common normative and institutional challenges. It explores key questions about the purpose, design, enforcement, and effectiveness of EU ethical rules. The book is structured into four parts, covering the foundations of the EU ethics system, the ethical frameworks of key EU institutions, cross-cutting issues including the new interinstitutional ethics body and government affairs regulation, and the external dimension such as anti-corruption and foreign interference. Ultimately, the volume aims to systematise the EU's ethical infrastructure, identify major shortcomings, and propose potential solutions and reforms, reflecting normatively on how the EU can improve.
