The paper is focused on the evaluation of the level of governance from the perspective of Good Governance concept in the European Union countries. Research of the state of governance in the EU countries is based on the evaluation of Good Governance indicators defined by the World Bank. These are the aggregate indicators characterizing the quality of democracy, political stability, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, quality of legal system and corruption, which in whole describe the state of Good Governance. On their basis, there is calculated the composite index of Good Governance. The composite index of Good Governance is observed in the period from 1996 to 2013 for the selected groups of the European Union countries. In the empirical part of the paper, there is evaluated the actual state of Good Governance in the EU countries in 2013 and compared the state and progression of Good Governance in the European Union countries in the years 1996 and 2013. The research is based on soft data, since most of the data for the evaluation of Good Governance have qualitative nature. The research results especially indicate the excellent state of governance in the Nordic countries and also acknowledge the convergence of the level of governance in the EU countries.
