REGULATION (EU, EURATOM) No 741/2012 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 11 August 2012
amending the Protocol on the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union and Annex I thereto
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first and second paragraphs of Article 257 and the second paragraph of Article 281 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a(1) thereof,
Having regard to the request of the Court of Justice,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) |
In order to increase the participation of all the Judges in the decisions of the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice, there should be an increase in the number of Judges who may participate in the Grand Chamber, and the automatic participation of all of the Presidents of the chambers of five Judges should cease. |
(2) |
Corresponding adjustments should be made to the quorum of the Grand Chamber and of the full Court. |
(3) |
The increasing responsibilities of the President of the Court of Justice and of the President of the General Court require the establishment in each of those Courts of an office of Vice-President in order to assist the President in carrying out those responsibilities. |
(4) |
As a consequence of the progressive expansion of its jurisdiction since its creation, the number of cases before the General Court has been steadily increasing. |
(5) |
The number of cases brought before the General Court exceeds the number of cases disposed of each year, resulting in a significant increase in the number of cases pending before that Court and an increase in the duration of proceedings. |
(6) |
There is a continuing need to tackle delays arising from the heavy workload of the General Court, and it is, therefore, appropriate to work towards putting in place appropriate measures by the time of the partial renewal of the membership of that Court in 2013. |
(7) |
With a view to the partial renewal of the Court of Justice on 7 October 2012 and in accordance with the letter of the President of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 8 May 2012, as a first step, only amendments to the Statute concerning the organisation of the Court of Justice and the General Court should be adopted. Examination of the part of the request on the membership of the General Court submitted by the Court of Justice should be reserved for a later stage. |
(8) |
In view of the urgent need to find a solution that guarantees its proper functioning, the amendments concerning the Civil Service Tribunal should be adopted together with the amendments concerning the Court of Justice. |
(9) |
In order to enable the specialised courts to continue to function satisfactorily in the absence of a Judge who, while not suffering from disablement deemed to be total, is prevented from participating in the disposal of cases for a lengthy period of time, provision should be made for the possibility of attaching temporary Judges to those courts. |
(10) |
Protocol No 3 on the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union and Annex I thereto should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Protocol No 3 on the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union is hereby amended as follows:
(1) |
the following Article is inserted: ‘Article 9a The Judges... |
