Abstract

[fre] Dans les pays européens, les niveaux d'intervention publique dans la produc­tion apparaissent comparables. Pourtant, des processus de développement éco­nomique similaires y ont façonné des secteurs publics si hétérogènes qu'il est difficile de définir un modèle européen du secteur public et d'établir la supériorité d'une structure nationale par rapporta une autre. Le processus d'intégration euro­péenne, surtout depuis qu'il s'inscrit dans la perspective de l'achèvement du grand marché, modifie les conditions et conteste le bien-fondé de l'intervention des États dans la mesure où elle entrave l'établissement du paradigme concurrentiel, sans apporter de solution alternative. Cet article s'attache à démontrer la nécessité d'une définition précise des répartitions de pouvoir entre les États et les institu­tions européennes afin de rétablir des moyens efficaces permettant de suppléer les insuffisances et les défaillances connues des mécanismes de marché. [eng] The extent of government intervention in production appears to be roughly the same in all member states of the European Union. However, processes of econo­mic development that have been broadly similar have generated such a degree of heterogeneity amongst national public sectors in Europe that it is hardly possible to define a European model of the public sector, as well as to establish undisputa-bly the superiority of one or another national variants. The European integration process, especially since it is been aimed at completing the single market, has been altering the conditions and challenging the appropriateness of national governments'intervention, insofar as the latter is seen as an obstacle in the way of free competition and a level playing field ; but it does not offer any alternative solu­tion. This paper argues that it is necessary to precisely define the competences of national governments and of European institutions in order to rebuild efficient intervention tools that could supplement well-known insufficiencies and failures of market mechanisms.
