Noting with satisfaction the positive results obtained and consolidated with regard to the reduction of the backlog of administrative proceedings, which has decreased by 42% since 2011;

Noting also the first encouraging results concerning the average length of certain types of administrative proceedings, in particular before the Council of State;
