Overview of Prosecutorial Systems and Case-Flow Data Collection in the Eastern Partnership – Regional Workshop, Budapest, 27 February 2025
The regional workshop on the organisation of prosecutorial systems and the collection of case-flow data in the Eastern Partnership countries was held on 27 February 2025 in Budapest. Within the framework of the Justice Dashboard Eastern Partnership (Dashboard EaP) project, CEPEJ correspondents from the beneficiary countries and representatives of public prosecution services met to exchange practices, address common challenges, and explore avenues for harmonising prosecutorial data collection. The key outcomes of the workshop are available in the report provided below.
Link: Summarizing discussions and recommendations for improving prosecutorial data collection processes
The CEPEJ will collect annually data on the functioning of the justice system in each beneficiary. The methodology for the collection and quality check of data used by the CEPEJ in Evaluation cycles apply to this exercise. Each beneficiary appoints a Justice Eap Dashboard correspondent entrusted with the collection and coordination of the replies to the CEPEJ Dashboard Eap Questionnaire, through the electronic system: CEPEJ-COLLECT. This correspondent is the unique interlocutor of the CEPEJ Secretariat during the whole process. The CEPEJ Questionnaire contains questions from the general CEPEJ evaluation cycles, and some additional questions specific for this Action, some defined in liaison with the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the Department for the execution of Judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. The CEPEJ Dashboard Eap Questionnaire is accompanied by an explanatory note to ensure comparability of data collected through this process. Extensive work is carried out by the Action team responsible for the data collection within the CEPEJ secretariat to verify the quality of the data submitted by the project correspondents.
