DECISION No 1149/2007/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 25 September 2007
establishing for the period 2007-2013 the Specific Programme ‘Civil Justice’ as part of the General Programme ‘Fundamental Rights and Justice’
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 61(c) and Article 67(5) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1),
Whereas:
(1) |
The Community has set itself the objective of maintaining and developing an area of freedom, security and justice, in which the free movement of persons is assured. To this end, the Community is to adopt, inter alia, measures in the field of judicial cooperation in civil matters necessary for the proper functioning of the internal market. |
(2) |
Following previous programmes, such as Grotius (2) and the Robert Schuman project (3), Council Regulation (EC) No 743/2002 (4) established, for the period 2002-2006, a general Community framework of activities to facilitate the implementation of judicial cooperation in civil matters. |
(3) |
The Brussels European Council of 4 and 5 November 2004 adopted the Hague Programme: Strengthening freedom, security and justice in the European Union (5) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Hague Programme’). |
(4) |
In June 2005, the Council and the Commission adopted the Action Plan implementing the Hague Programme (6). |

(7) |
A general programme in the field of civil justice aimed at better mutual understanding of the legal and judicial systems of the Member States will contribute to lowering the barriers to judicial cooperation in civil matters, which will improve the functioning of the internal market. |
(8) |
According to the Hague Programme, strengthening mutual confidence requires an explicit effort to improve mutual understanding among judicial authorities and different legal systems. European networks of national public authorities should be given special attention and support in this respect. |
(9) |
This Decision should provide for the possibility to co-finance the activities of certain European networks to the extent that the expenditure is incurred in pursuing an objective of general European interest. However, such co-financing should not imply that a future programme would cover such networks, nor should it prevent other European networks from benefiting from support to their activities in accordance with this Decision. |
(10) |
Any institution, association or network receiving a grant under the programme ‘Civil Justice’ should acknowledge the Community support received in accordance with the visibility guidelines to be laid down by the Commission. |
(11) |
This Decision lays down, for the entire duration of the programme, a financial envelope constituting the prime reference, within the meaning of point 37 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (7), for the... |
