Summary: Report published by the European Commission on 19 May 2022, delivering the annual EU Justice Scoreboard. Further information: The 2022 Scoreboard maintains previous editions’ general structure by analysing data on independence, quality and efficiency of national justice systems. At the same time, it is an evolving tool. This 10th edition responds to the current need for more comparative information for the annual Rule of Law Report, and for the monitoring of the National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs), and deepens the analysis in relevant sub-areas. For efficiency, monitoring is extended to cover length of proceedings of administrative authorities in specific areas of EU law. For quality, new figures are available on specific arrangements for access to justice (in particular for persons with disabilities and for child-friendly proceedings), and on legal safeguards regarding decisions or inaction of administrative authorities. For independence, readers can find new charts on companies’ perceptions of the effectiveness of investment protection by the law and the courts. Innovations in structural independence indicators include information on authorities involved in security checks on judges and safeguards relating to the temporary employment of judges or prosecutors in political posts – both sensitive issues that require appropriate safeguards for independence and impartiality For the first time, this year's Scoreboard also includes data on the effects of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic on the efficiency of justice systems, as well as regarding accessibility to justice for persons with disabilities and with a strengthened business dimension. |
