"Mr President, the Court of Justice of the European Union has for a long time been drawing attention to the fact that the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal do not work as they should. Therefore, we urgently need to find a solution that will ensure the proper functioning of all three courts. In line with this objective, it is necessary for us to amend its Statute.
In relation to the Court of Justice, it should be borne in mind that the current structure of its Grand Chamber and its rules of operation stem from amendments introduced by the Treaty of Nice back in 2003, that is, nine years ago. Since then, many changes have taken place, including, for example, the accession of 12 new Member States.
The number of cases brought is constantly increasing. Although the productivity of the Court of Justice has improved substantially, the number of pending cases is growing constantly. The Court of Justice clearly lacks the capacity needed to carry out its activities effectively.
We will clearly agree on the fact that we need to increase the number of judges as quickly as possible, but we must also agree on the means of their appointment. In this respect, therefore, I appeal to the Council in particular to address this issue as a matter of priority."@en1
