Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Welcomes the setting up of a streaming system for hearings of the Court of Justice which serves to strengthen the CJEU’s ‘Citizen Court’ dimension through increased accessibility for the general public;As the Court of Justice is increasingly required to rule on matters of a constitutional nature and related to human rights and the Charter of Fundamental rights, transparency and openness of the EU judicial process should be strengthened; to this regard, welcomes the setting up of a streaming system for hearings of the Court of Justice which serves to strengthen the CJEU’s ‘Citizen Court’ dimension through increased accessibility for the general public; moreover, as transparency increases accountability and builds trust in the EU and in EU Law, and in line with the principle of open decision- making, the Court of Justice should consider allowing access to judicial documents and case files upon request, while observing rights guaranteed by primary law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, such as the protection of personal data, the right to private and family right and communications and the protection of professional secrecy.

Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Welcomes the fact that the proportion of women in managerial posts remains at a high level (40% in 2022 as in 2021), confirming the global upward trend recorded since 2018 (41% in 2020, 39% in 2019 and 37.5% in 2018); notes, however, the still existing imbalanced situation in terms of women’s representation among the judges of both the Court of Justice and the General Court; exhorts, once again, the Members of the Council to address this situation by actively promoting gender parity in the appointment of judges, in line with the principles enshrined in Article 8 TFEU and Article 23 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, and with the commitments taken under Regulations 2015/2422 and 2019/629.
