The draft report under the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM), obtained by Mediafax Tuesday, will be debated on and approved by the European Commission Wednesday.
The Commission makes a series of recommendations regarding the reforms needed to ensure progress under the CVM.
The EC recommends that Romania should:
– adopt and implement a joint comprehensive plan to ensure implementation of all four codes, including all relevant aspects of structural and procedural reform, human resource adjustment, and investment into judicial infrastructure;
– restructure the court system and prosecution offices, rebalancing staff and workload, guided notably by the functional review of the Romanian judicial system and the project on optimal workload in courts currently funded by the World Bank;
– create a monitoring group for judicial reform which involves all state powers, professional associations and civil society.
