  The organizational issues of European public administration are especially apparent when the cooperation between the EU and its Member States is considered. The regulation of administrative institutions and bodies is fundamentally a subject of national competence. The European public administration for consular protection is based on the cooperation of the organs and authorities on both levels of European public administration. It is regulated as a framework which leaves a wide range of freedom for Member States to settle the missing details and also leaves too much room for voluntarism. All this makes the system unpredictable and despite the application of the principle of loyal cooperation and solidarity, the European administrative structure of consular protection is incompatible with the rule of law and the principle of good administration, and even with the principle of loyal cooperation and solidarity.
