REGULATION (EU) 2022/850 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 30 May 2022
on a computerised system for the cross-border electronic exchange of data in the area of judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters (e-CODEX system), and amending Regulation (EU) 2018/1726
(Text with EEA relevance)
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 Article 81(2) and Article 82(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
Ensuring the effective access of citizens and businesses to justice and facilitating judicial cooperation in civil, including commercial, and criminal matters between the Member States are among the main objectives of the Union’s area of freedom, security and justice enshrined in Part three, Title V of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). |
(2) |
It is sometimes difficult to access justice systems for a number of reasons such as formalistic and expensive legal procedures, long procedural delays and high costs of using court systems. |
(3) |
It is thus important that appropriate channels are developed to ensure that justice systems can efficiently cooperate in a digital way. Therefore, it is essential to establish, at Union level, an information technology system that allows for the swift, direct, interoperable, sustainable, reliable and secure cross-border electronic exchange of case-related data, while always respecting the right to protection of personal data. Such a system should contribute to improving access to justice and transparency by enabling citizens and businesses to exchange documents and evidence in digital form with judicial or other competent authorities, when provided for by national or Union law. That system should increase citizens’ trust in the Union and mutual trust between Member States’ judicial and other competent authorities. |
(4) |
Digitalisation of proceedings in civil and criminal matters should be encouraged with the aim of strengthening the rule of law and fundamental rights guarantees in the Union, particularly by facilitating access to justice. |
(5) |
This Regulation concerns the cross-border electronic exchange of data in the area of judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters. Judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters and the respective competences of judicial or other competent authorities should be understood in accordance with Union legal acts and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. |
(6) |
Tools which have not replaced or required costly modifications to the existing back-end systems established in the Member States have previously been developed for the cross-border electronic exchange of case-related data. The e-Justice Communication via Online Data Exchange (e-CODEX) system is the main such tool developed to date. |
(7) |
The e-CODEX system is a tool specifically designed to facilitate the cross-border electronic exchange of data in the area of judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters. In the context of increased digitalisation of proceedings in civil and criminal matters, the aim of the e-CODEX system is to improve the efficiency of cross-border communication between competent authorities and to facilitate citizens’ and businesses’ access to justice. Until the handover of the e-CODEX system to the European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in... |
