EUROPEAN COMMISSION FOR the EFFICIENCY OF JUSTICE

(CEPEJ)

35th meeting of the Bureau

Paris, 23 January 2020

MEETING REPORT

Report prepared by the Secretariat

 General Direction I – Human Rights and Rule of Law


1.      The Bureau of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) held its 35th meeting in Strasbourg, on 23 January 2020, chaired by Mr Ramin Gurbanov (Azerbaijan), President of the CEPEJ.

2.      The following members of the Bureau were also present:

§  Ms Laetitia Brunin (France), member;

§  Mr Francesco Depasquale (Malta), member;

§  Ms Ivana Borzova (Czech Republic), Vice-President of the CEPEJ.

3.      The agenda is set out in Appendix I.

1.    Information from the members of the Bureau and the Secretariat

4.      The Bureau welcomed the recruitments that have been or will be carried out in the Secretariat, which will greatly facilitate the implementation of the activity programme. Although, the Bureau considered that more flexibility is needed in the recruitment for cooperation activities with non-ordinary budget. It considered that the functioning of the cooperation unit, which relies mainly on temporary staff, whose appointment is limited to nine months a year, is not satisfactory.

5.      The President of the CEPEJ informed the Bureau of the current state of translations into the member states’ languages of the CEPEJ tools, in the framework of the project initiated by the President of the CEPEJ, in co-operation with the Institute of Law and Human Rights of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan "Bringing the CEPEJ closer to the member states and the member states closer to the CEPEJ".

6.      At this stage, the CEPEJ tools have been translated into 10 out of 33 languages and the layout of the publications is currently under way. In this context, the Bureau thanked in particular the involvement of Mr Leonardo d'Urso, CEPEJ expert, for his huge work translating CEPEJ documents into Italian. In order to make this initiative known within the member states, the President proposed to prepare a short video in which he presents these various translations. This video would have subtitles in all European languages. It could be presented at the launch of CEPEJ co-operation programmes and at specific national events organised by CEPEJ members.

2.      Implementation of the Programme of Activities 2020-2021

7.      In the light of the increasing number of CEPEJ’s activities, the Bureau considered that it would be useful to prepare a strategic framework of activities for the upcoming five years. This framework would provide a longer-term vision for the Secretariat, member states and members of the Working Groups. The Secretariat pointed out that this was in line with the recommendations of the Internal Audit Service of the Council of Europe concerning the functioning of intergovernmental committees. In this perspective, the Bureau suggested to start by asking the Working Groups about their planned tools for the next 5 years during their forthcoming meetings.

8.      The Bureau decided on the composition of the Working Groups as set out in the appendix to this document. In accordance with the CEPEJ 2020-2021 Programme of Activities adopted in December 2019, a new Group on Cyberjustice and Artificial Intelligence (CEPEJ-GT-CYBERJUST) was set up. Activities on mediation will now be carried out by the Working Group on the quality of justice (CEPEJ-GT-QUAL).

9.      The Bureau expressed the wish that all the members of the Working Groups make all the necessary efforts to be active within these Groups, during and between meetings, so that their expertise and know-how could best benefit to the work of the CEPEJ.

10.   The Bureau entrusted the Secretariat to organise a meeting of presidents of the Working Groups in order to ensure good co-ordination between all CEPEJ Working Groups.

3.      Evaluation of judicial systems

11.   The Bureau reiterated its wish to see an increased co-operation with the European Court of Human Rights. It was therefore suggested that some questions would be added to the CEPEJ's Evaluation Scheme for judicial systems, of which answers would be relevant to the Court's work, such as the number of persons in pre-trial detention in each member state. Frequent meetings on the needs for judicial statistics of the Court's Registry and the Department for the Execution of Judgments of the Court should be initiated by the Secretariat of the CEPEJ.

12.   The Bureau took note of the ongoing work of the Evaluation Working Group, which aims to introduce the new format of the next CEPEJ evaluation report on judicial systems. Its paper version will be presented in an abridged form, which will focus on the current trends and be accompanied by country fact sheets. At the same time, the CEPEJ-STAT dynamic database will be developed, in particular through the creation of a new dashboard on efficiency.  

13.   Initial contacts have been made with the experts in charge of drafting the various chapters of the report. The Bureau underlined the importance of the evolution of the evaluation report and of increasing its visibility, considering the reports of the European Commission using CEPEJ data, which have better visibility. It entrusted the CEPEJ-GT-EVAL to present a draft evaluation report at the CEPEJ plenary in June 2020 which would respect this new form, according to a timetable set by the Secretariat.

14.   The Bureau also took note of the difficulties mentioned by the Secretariat for some States in the collection and “quality check” of data. Some of these difficulties are due to the change of national correspondent over the same evaluation cycle, but sometimes difficulties seem more structural. The Bureau instructed the Secretariat to draft a list of countries which present the most significant difficulties, once the data “quality check” phase is carried out, in order to decide on the most appropriate way to accompany these States in the evaluation process.

15.   The Bureau also instructed the CEPEJ-GT-EVAL to continue the collaboration with the European Commission in the framework of the European Union Scoreboard and the Dashboard for the Western Balkans. It underlined the importance of these activities which show that the unique expertise developed by the CEPEJ in the field of evaluation of judicial systems is recognised at European level. 

16.   In the context of the new mandate given to the Working Group on Evaluation, the Bureau encouraged the Working Group to explore longer-term activities that could be carried out and to consider the development of specific themes.

4.      Judicial timeframes

17.   The Bureau was informed that the CEPEJ-SATURN Group was organising, under the guidance of two experts, Ms Shanee Benkin (Israel) and Mr Marco Fabri (Italy), a workshop on case-weighting the day after the present meeting, during which 5 national case-weighting systems would be presented: Austria, Germany, Denmark, Estonia and Romania.

18.   The Bureau noted that this work is highly anticipated by national authorities and European courts, although it is aware of the difficulty of the subject and the reluctance of some professionals in this respect.

19.   With regard to the dashboards to be set up in the courts, the Bureau considered necessary for the Working Group to specify its areas of work in this field and the instrument it wishes to move towards.

20.   In view of time and budgetary constraints, the Bureau decided that work on the role of the parties and articles 5 and 6 should not be pursued at this stage. The bureau thanked Professor Jon Johnson for the work already carried out at this stage and for his overall contribution to the CEPEJ. It instructed the President of CEPEJ-SATURN and the Secretariat to inform him accordingly.

21.   As regards to its activities with the lawyers, the Bureau suggested to organise a new meeting with the CCBE to discuss future work; this meeting could be extended to other actors of justice through an invitation of the CCJE, the CCPE and the EUR.

22.   The Bureau suggests that the CEPEJ-SATURN carry out a new reflection on:

23.   It also insisted on the need to better motivate the CEPEJ Pilot courts to contribute more effectively to the activity of the working groups; in particular, it was proposed to regroup these courts by jurisdiction or centre of interest, in order to improve the response rate when they are requested.

24.   The Bureau instructed the SATURN Working Group, under the lead of its future Chairman, to prepare an Action Plan for the Group, including the tools to be developed for the years 2020 and 2021, and to actively pursue its ongoing work, with a view to finalising concrete tools to help reduce judicial timeframes.

5.      Quality of justice

25.   The Bureau took note of the ongoing work on the operationalisation of the principles of the CEPEJ European Ethical Charter on the use of Artificial Intelligence in judicial systems and their environment and of the launching of the feasibility study on the certification of Artificial Intelligence solutions in judicial systems. The Bureau took note of the work to be carried out by the CEPEJ-GT-QUAL over the year as regards the centrality [MP1]of the user in judicial proceedings, the simplification of communication with the litigant and the question of parity in the recruitment and promotion of magistrates. The Bureau also invited the CEPEJ-GT-QUAL to ensure the best possible dissemination of the tool on the isolation of judges.

26.   It also instructed the CEPEJ-GT-QUAL to continue, where appropriate, the work of the CEPEJ-GT-MED in the field of mediation, in particular by involving mediation experts, and to ensure the existence of the network of contact points for mediation. To this end, a meeting with a representative of the CEPEJ-GT-MED should be organised during the first meeting of the CEPEJ-GT-QUAL in 2020.

27.   The Bureau also underlined the importance of ensuring co-ordination with the new CEPEJ-GT-CYBERJUST Group and welcomed the Secretariat's proposition to organise the meeting of these two working groups on the same dates in order to promote an exchange between the members of the groups.

6.      Cyberjustice and artificial intelligence

28.   The Bureau noted the relevance of the themes contained in the terms of reference of the new Working Group on Cyberjustice and Artificial Intelligence (CEPEJ-GT-CYBERJUST), in particular:

29.   As agreed, the 1st meeting of the CEPEJ-GT-CYBERJUST will be held on the same dates as the CEPEJ-GT-QUAL so that the two Groups can have an exchange of views on their respective activities.

7.      Cooperation programmes

30.   The Secretariat informed the Bureau of the implementation of the various ongoing cooperation programmes (Latvia, Malta, Slovakia, Tunisia, Azerbaijan, Albania, Georgia, Kosovo*, Republic of Moldova, South III Programme), forthcoming (Spain, Malta) and under discussion (Kazakhstan).

31.   The Bureau welcomed the growing number of co-operation programmes which contribute to the visibility of the CEPEJ and allow for a useful implementation of CEPEJ tools in partner judicial systems.

32.   The Bureau asked the Secretariat to collect and share with the different working groups the training modules on CEPEJ tools, which were sometimes developed in the framework of co-operation activities. This way, the working groups can take note of them and possibly use them in the task entrusted to them which regards training in their respective mandates.

8.      CEPEJ’s representation in other fora

33.   The Bureau recalled that it relies on the Secretariat to examine requests for representation of the CEPEJ at various events related to the functioning of justice, organised in Europe and throughout the world.

34.   The CEPEJ has been represented in more than 70 fora to date, which is a significant increase requiring ever greater availability of CEPEJ members, its Working Groups and the Secretariat. This however contributed effectively to the dissemination of CEPEJ tools throughout Europe and beyond.

9.      Individual complaints addressed to the CEPEJ on issues related to the functioning of justice

35.   The Secretariat indicated that it did not receive any other specific complaints within its remit that require further consideration by the Bureau.

10.   Other questions

·         CEPEJ Website

36.   The Bureau thanked Annette Sattel for her excellent work in updating the CEPEJ website, which recently led to the creation of a special section compiling all the CEPEJ tools. This section had been suggested by the members of the Bureau because it allows to find much more easily than before a given instrument on a specific theme.

·         Plenary meeting (10-11 June 2020)

37.   The Bureau thanked the French authorities, through Laetitia Brunin, for their efforts to organise the June 2020 plenary meeting in Versailles and took note that it would finally be held in Strasbourg on the same dates.

·         The next Bureau meeting

38.   The next meeting of the Bureau will take place on 7 October 2020, at the same time as the President's hearing by the Committee of Ministers.
