lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this debate about reform of the Court of Justice of the European Union should provide a unique opportunity to take a wider view of the problems with which the European justice system has been dealing. We should not finish this today. Instead, we should open the debate on this subject. When starting work on proposals from the Court of Justice and the European Commission we certainly had higher hopes and expectations. We also believed that this work would be relatively straightforward and that there would not be any differences between institutions. Changes to the Court of Justice work practices and the appointment of temporary judges to the European Union Civil Service Tribunal are certainly steps in the direction of increased output by EU courts. However, a key element of this reform was supposed to have been a proposal to increase the number of judges in the general court. Exclusion of this issue from the dossier makes it possible for us to implement all the non-controversial changes, but I believe that this basic issue will soon return. The Council cannot duck this matter, it will have to consider it again and take a decision with the European Parliament to resolve this key issue. It is, after all, no secret that proceedings before EU courts are becoming unworkably long, principally because of the disproportionate increase in the number of cases in relation to the staffing structure of EU courts. We are creating laws in an ever wider area, new countries become members of the European Union, we are thinking about acceding to the European Convention on Human Rights as a Union – all of this will further increase the number of cases. We should remember that the right for a dispute to be resolved within a reasonable time is the right of every citizen and is now guaranteed in every Member State. We must provide EU courts with the instruments and human resources that are appropriate to the actual requirements. At present, increasing expenditure on EU administration is highly unpopular in Member States – of course we understand this. However, if the Union is faced with paying large amounts of compensation for cases that take too long, then this will certainly cost the European taxpayer and European institutions more than a few judges. Despite everything I am pleased that we reached a compromise and I would like to thank Alexandra Thein for her excellent work on this dossier"@en1
