The CEPEJ publishes an evaluation of the judicial systems of the European Union member States

In the frame of a cooperation with the European Commission, the CEPEJ evaluates annually certain aspects of the judicial systems of the EU member States based on the methodology developed within the framework of the cycles of evaluation of the judicial systems. The first part of the CEPEJ study is composed of comparative data tables and comments provided by the CEPEJ national correspondents. The second part presents country profiles based on the selected indicators and contains data analyses. This study is one of the main sources of the EU Justice Scoreboard, which was published on 4 June. The information contained in the EU Justice Scoreboard contributes to the monitoring carried out within the framework of the European Semester and the Annual Rule of Law Cycle — the findings will feed into the Commission's 2025 Rule of Law Report.

Presentation of the CEPEJ

In setting up the European Commission for  the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) at the end of 2002, at the initiative of the European  ministers of Justice who met in London (2000), the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe wanted to establish an innovative body for improving the quality and efficiency of the European judicial systems and  strengthening the court users’ confidence in such systems.

The CEPEJ develops concrete measures and tools aimed at policy makers and judicial practitioners in order to:

  • Analyse the functioning of judicial systems and orientate public policies of justice
  • Have a better knowledge of judicial timeframes and optimize judicial time management
  • Promote the quality of the public service of justice
  • Facilitate the implementation of European standards in the field of justice
  • Support member states in their reforms on court organisations

The CEPEJ also contributes with specific expertise to debates about the functioning of the justice system in order to provide a forum for discussion and proposals and bring the users closer to their justice system. (Read more)
