"Parliament’s plenary has today adopted the own-initiative report on the implementation of Directive 2008/52/EC of 21 May 2008 on certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters. The directive assumes the introduction of a mediation procedure covering a broad spectrum of dispute resolution. The mediation process envisaged by the directive involves the amicable, extra-judicial resolution of disputes between parties, with suspension of limitation and prescription periods during mediation procedures. It therefore does not limit the right to judicial dispute resolution, but rather encourages parties to resolve disputes through a mediation procedure. It can be seen that where countries have introduced mediation procedures, there has been a sharp decline in judicial disputes. The report adopted by Parliament unfortunately reveals that the Czech Republic, together with Austria, Finland and Sweden, has not yet incorporated the directive into law, which is very odd, particularly in view of the Czech Government’s much vaunted effort to speed up judicial procedures. The backlog of civil disputes in Czech courts is alarming. The report states that in Italy, Romania and Bulgaria in particular, the introduction of a mediation procedure under this directive has brought about a sharp reduction in the number of judicial disputes, and in Bulgaria, for example, up to one third of all disputes are resolved in mediation procedures. I voted in favour of the report, with the intention of appealing to the Czech Government to begin work rapidly on the harmonisation of Czech law and the introduction of the mediation procedure, particularly in light of the very positive experience with mediation in other Member States."@en1
