    ✅ 🤝 Promoting a fair justice system for a just Europe: The CCBE launches its Manifesto ahead of the #EUelections2024, urging the EU policymakers to prioritise five key points:   1️⃣  a Europe that defends the #ruleoflaw, #fundamentalrights, and #democracy, as well as safeguards the role of an independent legal profession in upholding these values. The EU institutions should enforce strict adherence to these principles among all parties involved in their decision-making process and ensure that EU legislation upholds the core values and role of the legal profession in order to maintain the rule of law and the integrity of European justice systems.   2️⃣  the need to ensure that the EU legislative process is guided by standards that have a positive impact on the administration of #justice. The EU should organise annual meetings with all actors involved in the administration of justice in order to have a continuous and constructive exchange of views on legislation and issues which impact the rule of law.   3️⃣ adequate resources for the judicial system and an effective and well-resourced legal aid system. The EU should ensure that Member States allocate adequate financial and human resources to the judicial system and guarantee ample EU funding to support the development of a European justice area which allows individuals to effectively enforce their rights in other EU Member States and ensures a well-functioning cross-border judicial cooperation mechanism. The EU institutions should also ensure that Member States have an accessible, uncomplicated, and well-resourced legal aid system in order to guarantee adequate legal representation for all.   4️⃣ comprehensive training for legal professionals. The EU should introduce a funding mechanism designed to facilitate large-scale, cost-effective, well-resourced, and structured training for #lawyers across the EU.   5️⃣ proper implementation of procedural safeguards in criminal matters. The EU should ensure the proper implementation of existing procedural safeguards and introduce new procedural safeguards to increase confidence in the mutual recognition of criminal justice measures.   🔎 CCBE Manifesto: http://ccbe.link/nw49e 🔎 CCBE press release: http://ccbe.link/nw9hf European Commission | European Parliament | Pierre-Dominique Schupp |Thierry WICKERS | Roman Zavrsek | Alex Tallon | Simone Cuomo

    💡 ❇ CCBE suggestions for the new European Commission: Providing lawyers with effective training resources at an EU level contributes to maintaining a fair, efficient, and consistent legal system which upholds high professional standards and promotes respect for the #ruleoflaw. The EU institutions should be supported in their efforts to achieve the necessary level of funding for the development of comprehensive training for legal professionals in cross-border and EU law-related matters. 📍 Training needs also require a special emphasis on the #digitalisation of #justice in order to ensure that legal practitioners are equipped with the skills and knowledge that are required to navigate and leverage emerging technologies in their practice. 🔎 If you want to read more CCBE suggestions for the new European Commission, read our dedicated Manifesto: 👉 http://ccbe.link/nw49e   *** 💡 ❇ Propositions du CCBE pour la nouvelle Commission européenne : Offrir aux avocats des ressources de formation efficaces à l'échelle de l'UE permet de maintenir un système juridique équitable, efficace et cohérent qui défend des normes professionnelles élevées et promeut le respect de l'#étatdedroit. Les institutions de l'UE doivent être soutenues dans leurs efforts pour atteindre le niveau de financement nécessaire à la mise en place d'une formation complète pour les professionnels du droit dans les domaines transfrontaliers et liés au droit de l'UE. 📍 Les besoins en matière de formation requièrent un accent particulier sur la #numérisation de la #justice pour que les praticiens du droit soient dotés des compétences et connaissances leur permettant de tirer parti des technologies émergentes dans leur pratique. 🔎 Davantage de propositions du CCBE pour la nouvelle Commission européenne sont disponibles dans le manifeste du CCBE : 👉 http://ccbe.link/nw49e

    💡 ❇ The CCBE's suggestions for the new European Commission: The EU has made substantial efforts and demonstrated admirable commitment to establishing procedural safeguards for suspects and defendants in criminal proceedings across Member States. 📍 In order to build and increase confidence in the mutual recognition of criminal justice measures, the CCBE calls on the EU institutions to introduce further procedural safeguards, including in the area of evidence and pre-trial detention. In addition, the CCBE supports the EU institutions in their continuous efforts to ensure the proper implementation of existing procedural safeguards, such as the right to a fair trial, presumption of innocence, and access to legal representation.    🔎 If you want to read more of the CCBE's suggestions for the new European Commission, read our dedicated Manifesto: 👉 http://ccbe.link/nw49e *** 💡 ❇ Les suggestions du CCBE pour la nouvelle Commission européenne : L’Union européenne a déployé des efforts considérables et a fait preuve d’un engagement remarquable pour établir des garanties procédurales pour les suspects et les personnes mises en cause dans des procédures pénales dans l’ensemble des États membres. 📍 Afin de renforcer la confiance dans la reconnaissance mutuelle des mesures de justice pénale, le CCBE appelle les institutions européennes à introduire de nouvelles garanties procédurales, notamment dans le domaine de la preuve et de la détention préventive.

    💡 ❇ The CCBE's suggestions for the new European Commission: 🔹The CCBE urge the EU institutions to ensure that Member States allocate adequate financial and human resources to the judicial system, as adequate resources are essential for the efficient functioning of courts, the timely resolution of disputes, and the overall administration of #justice. This includes investments in infrastructure, technology, and the recruitment of required personnel. Since justice does not stop at the border, the EU institutions should also guarantee ample #EUfunding to support the development of a European justice area which allows individuals to effectively enforce their rights in other EU Member States and ensures a well-functioning cross-border judicial cooperation mechanism. 🔎 If you want to read more of the CCBE's suggestions for the new European Commission, read our dedicated Manifesto: 👉 http://ccbe.link/nw49e *** 💡 ❇ Les suggestions du CCBE pour la nouvelle Commission européenne : 🔹Le CCBE demande instamment aux institutions de l’UE de veiller à ce que les États membres allouent des ressources financières et humaines suffisantes au système judiciaire parce que des ressources adéquates sont indispensables au bon fonctionnement des tribunaux, à la résolution rapide des litiges et à l’administration générale de la justice. Il s’agit notamment d’investir dans les infrastructures, les technologies et le recrutement du personnel nécessaire. Étant donné que la justice ne s’arrête pas aux frontières, les institutions de l’UE devraient également garantir un financement suffisant de l’UE pour soutenir le développement d’un espace européen de justice qui permette aux justiciables de faire valoir efficacement leurs droits dans d’autres États membres de l’UE et qui garantisse le bon fonctionnement d’un mécanisme de coopération judiciaire transfrontalière. 🔎 Si vous souhaitez lire davantage de suggestions du CCBE pour la nouvelle Commission européenne, lisez notre Manifeste dédié : 👉 http://ccbe.link/rnw9v
