On 4-5 November 2020, the project “Action against corruption in the Republic of Moldova” facilitated expert meetings with the representatives of the Superior Council of Magistracy, Ministry of Justice and a civil society organization in order to discuss planned and ongoing reforms of the Superior Council of Magistracy.

The meetings represented an excellent occasion for the Council of Europe to identify the views and needs of Moldovan counterparts regarding possible ways to strengthen the independency, transparency and accountability of the Superior Council of Magistracy in line with GRECO 4th round evaluation and compliance report recommendations. Following this assessment, the project will deliver recommendations for changes to the legislative framework governing the functioning and composition of the Superior Council of Magistracy.

This activity was organized within the framework of the project “Action against corruption in the Republic of Moldova”, funded by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of the US Department of State and implemented by the Council of Europe.
