Résumé anglais Quality management as an instrument for bottom-up european regulation. To cope with the requirements of accession, EU countries were (and some of them still are) seeking to achieve the standards of reliable and efficient public administration. The European Commission doesn't provide a specific model for the organisation and functioning of public administrations. In management literature those models for the organisation and functioning of public administrations are presented. Quality management models, nowadays, have evoluted into frameworks for organisational management. With the construction of the European Common Assessment Framework (CAF), a self-evaluation tool was designed for the public sector. This tool presents the principles for a well performing organisation. With the spread and use of this model all over Europe in recent years, the principles of a well performing public sector organisation also become widespread. In this article we look at the convergence (discursive, decisional, practice and results) across the EU in the use and implementation of management tools, i.c. the use of quality models, arguing the principles of quality management, as principles of decent governance, are spread across the European Union and form a kind of ‘bottom-up European regulation', coping with the fact no formal criteria or legislation concerning administrative reform are existing for candidate countries.
