 In
2001, the Consultative Council of European Judges
adopted
opinion
n°1
on "independence of judges" and
opinion
n°2
on "funding of courts".
The CCJE asked the Chair of the Working Group to
draw up questionnaires on the themes selected for
discussion in 2001:
- Standards concerning the independence (including
the principle of irremovability) of judges contained
in Recommendation No. (94) 12 on the independence,
efficiency and the role of judges, and in particular, the
relevance of these standards and any other
international standards to current problems in these
fields ;
- The funding and management of courts with
reference to the efficiency of the judiciary and
with reference to Article 6 of the European
Convention on Human Rights
This work was carried
out on the basis of the replies by delegations to a
questionnaire on the independence of judges, their
appointment and careers, and funding of the courts
