About the European Union Public Administration Network (EUPAN): EUPAN's mission is to improve the performance, competitiveness and quality of European public administration institutions by developing new tools and methods in the field of public administration, based on the exchange of opinions, experiences and good practices by participants. EUPAN's members are representatives from institutions responsible for public administration issues from the EU Member States, Norway and Turkey, as well as representatives from the European Commission and the European Institute of Public Administration.  

During the Latvian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the State Chancellery chairs the EUPAN working groups, ensuring that jointly defined objectives are met. When preparing for the Presidency, Latvia, together with Italy and Luxembourg, defined the priority areas for action by the Presidency trio. A special focus will be given to revision of the future role of public administration, with a particular emphasis on two objectives - innovative and open public administration that promotes trust and honesty, and effective, uniform and transparent public services.
