lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Secretary of State, Commissioner, firstly, my sincere thanks go to the rapporteur for her constructive work. The Court of Justice of the European Union is permanently overstretched. This is due partly to the fact that the European Union has been enlarged to include 12 new Member States and partly to the continuous extension of the Court’s powers and responsibilities. In order to enable the effective administration of justice, the code of procedure has been changed so that it is possible to arbitrate in legal cases relating to intellectual property without requiring an oral hearing. Our citizens are entitled to sound procedures that are administered as quickly as possible. The President of the Court of Justice can allocate cases to chambers that have already dealt with similar legal issues. I believe that the more effective version of the two possible reform proposals has been chosen. The addition of new judges at the Court of Justice will be achieved by changing the statutes according to the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon. The reasons for my preference are linked to the effectiveness of the proposed solution, the urgency of the situation, the flexibility of the planned measures and the coherence of European Union law. The Court of Justice considers it necessary to increase the number of judges by 12 to a total of 39. Like the rapporteur, Ms Thein, I do not have any empirical investigations to support the Court’s decision in relation to this specific number. I am fundamentally in agreement with the Court of Justice, however. The nomination of judges is a matter for the Member States. The matter is of such importance, however, that it is necessary to ensure that it is the task of the directly elected Parliament, in other words the European Parliament, to achieve the best possible solution in the interests of our citizens. It is for this reason that the Committee on Legal Affairs should be involved to the appropriate degree in the appointment of judges. It seems inappropriate, however, for the Court of Justice to be required to establish two specialist chambers. It would seem to make more sense to authorise the Court to establish such bodies under its own code of procedure."@en1
