The general assumption is that the establishment and implementation of ethical codes and principles is a key step toward professionalizing the civil service. In addition, the issue of civil service ethics is an important segment of the analysis within the public administration reform, and in accordance with the requirements of European integration. The importance of civil service ethics is the fact that it is today, in many countries, the full legal regulated categories.
