"Madam President, Commissioner, Ms McCarthy, I should like, naturally, to begin by greeting the rapporteur and congratulating her, since I believe that this report is extremely useful and that it, in fact, enables us to take new steps in the field of mediation. The report presents an overview, a selection of the solutions adopted by the various Member States in the implementation and application of Directive 2008/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters.
We all know the benefits of mediation. On the one hand, it is an extrajudicial means of dispute resolution, which contributes to decongestion of the courts and the streamlining of the justice system, whilst, at the same time, providing the parties with the chance to reach an amicable solution that is faster, less costly and less burdensome than the disputes in which they are engaged. It is therefore appropriate to reaffirm the objective of Article 1 of the directive, which calls for the adoption of measures encouraging the use of alternative means of dispute resolution, particularly mediation.
Promoting access to and the use of extrajudicial means of dispute resolution contributes to improving and simplifying our justice system, and to making it more accessible. It is, therefore, a very important challenge for the European Union and for the establishment of the area of freedom, security and justice; and even for the concept of rule of law within the European Union.
That is why, in this context of crisis too, I consider it very important, as the report says, to be able to increase understanding of this area amongst the public and those involved in the judicial system, and I call here on the Commission, and on you, Commissioner, for a legislative proposal on alternative dispute resolution to be tabled quickly."@en1
