"Mr President, the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market, when dealing with the issue of European jurisdiction, limited itself to seconding the proposal for the Commission’s preliminary draft, which provides for increases for two reasons; the first being in consequence of enlargement, and the second in response to new tasks for European justice, in which context more funds are allocated for the purposes of documentation and translation. What that means – no more and no less – is that the Commission’s preliminary draft does not include any structural improvements in the conditions under which the European justice system functions.
Nevertheless, we went no further than doing this, and I would like to urge the Committee on Budgets not to reduce this still further, for, if we allocate only the funding relating to enlargement, and not the funds for the additional tasks, the situation cannot fail to deteriorate still further. The Committee on Budgets will have to decide whether to take sides with the Council or with the Commission and the Court of Justice.
The second point that I would like to address has to do with the Academy of European Law, the work of which, over the past ten years, has met with immense success. Its founding members, Germany and Luxembourg, have since been joined by Ireland, Poland, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Hungary and Sweden. Finland has announced its intention of joining.
Over the past ten years, a total of 38 000 people from the European Union and the new countries have taken part in seminars and training courses. The Academy of European Law has, in that time, become the secretariat of the European Judicial Training Network, and it will, in future, be particularly involved in promoting cooperation between judges in Eastern Europe. All this justifies a commensurate increase in the grants to the Academy of European Law under the financial programme, not only for 2004, but thereafter."@en1
