lpv:translated text	"It does not often happen that despite the fact that different models have been adopted in national systems, we can commend the Member States for their implementation of an EU directive. Mediation as an institution is already generally recognised in national legislation, but we must take care to ensure that the letter of the law is given life and has broad practical application. I think that current efforts both of Member States and of EU institutions should be directed towards promoting the instrument of mediation among the citizens and European firms, because often, they are not aware of the opportunities of using mediation, do not completely understand the principle on which it operates and are afraid that the result of such negotiations will not be legally binding. Therefore, the campaign to promote mediation should stress that it is a rapid, cheap and professional means of resolving disputes. Of crucial significance is the position of mediators and the way they are perceived. They must be people in positions of public trust, and their neutrality and independence must be confirmed by the creation of a code of ethics and by legislation. In addition, the quality of the mediation process itself should be enhanced by consolidating the good practices and standards which – as we can read from the report – are already beginning to bring good results and confirm the legitimacy of the assumption that mediation can be effective and – apart from the undoubted benefits for the parties – that it can, in the future, relieve the pressure on courts which have a backlog of cases."@en1
