lpv:translated text	"Ever since the new Member States acceded to the European Union, the European Court of Justice has been faced with the problem of too few staff in relation to its caseload. The number of cases before the ECJ is steadily increasing and, in 2011, was 11.3% higher than in the previous year. An additional problem is the lack of replacement judges in situations where one of the main judges is on sick leave for a period longer than three months. This results in considerable delays in the Court’s work. Last year, there were as many as 1 323 cases waiting to be heard on 12 October. I therefore support the ECJ’s request for a regulation that would allow temporary judges to sit in the European Union Civil Service Tribunal. At present, the Civil Service Tribunal comprises seven judges. The Court has suggested that, at the request of the President of the European Court of Justice, the Council of the European Union should prepare a list of three persons to act as temporary judges for a period of four years, who would be drawn from former ECJ members. Such judges would only have judicial competence over the cases to which they have been allocated. They would not have the right to participate in court administration or in the selection of the Court’s President or chamber presidents. The additional costs incurred by such a solution would be relatively small, as these judges would only receive 1/30 of the salary of a permanent judge for each day of work. I support the Court’s request. The provision of effective legal protection and the possibility of speeding up court proceedings should be a priority for the proper functioning of the European Union, even though this will increase costs in next year’s budget."@en1
