e-Justice Portal Pilot and its recent

Basic Ideas for e-Justice
  • The use of IT in the field of justice is in
    permanent development.
  • From the mere access to information on laws via
    Internet to the electronic communication with
    persons involved in court proceedings there is a
    wide range of possibilities of using IT at the EU
    level.
  • More than 10 million people are currently
    involved in cross-border proceedings. This figure
    will rise.
  • There are many professional or private reasons
    for these involvements.

Vision of e-Justice
  • Most of these involvements cause to have
    knowledge about the law of other countries, their
    justice systems and their different national
    legal facts.
  • e-Justice should provide personalized information
    to the citizens and should integrate distributed
    applications from a number of different sources.
  • It should help mastering the challenges of
    cross-border proceedings by becoming the single
    access point to law for the European citizens.

4
The original e-Justice Programme
  • In June 2007 the Justice and Home Affairs (JHA)
    Council decided to develop at European level the
    use of information and communication technologies
    (ICT) in the field of justice, particularly by
    creating a European portal.
  • This would help to rationalise and simplify
    judicial procedures, would reduce procedural
    deadlines and operating costs. Access to justice
    would thus be facilitated.

5
The original e-Justice Programme
  • Main principles for the development of this
    European Portal
  • The creation of a decentralized system with
    interfaces (portal interconnection)
  • At the beginning the integration of existing
    initiatives
  • Access for citizens, businesses, law
    professionals, judicial authorities and courts.
  • Non-legislative nature
  • Work should be carried out in an EU Council
    working group

6
The original e-Justice Programme
  • Specific tasks were
  • Connecting the following registers
  • Criminal records
  • Insolvency registers
  • Commercial and business registers
  • Land registers
  • The creation of a standardized European payment
    order
  • To promote and stimulate the use of
    video-conferencing in cross-border as well as in
    national legal procedures

7
The Prototype of the e-Justice Portal
  • It was identified that the insolvency registers
    were perfectly suited to start with because of
  • Public access without authorisation
  • Access is everywhere free of charge
  • They exist all over Europe and are of wide
    interest
  • So quick results are possible
  • Goals of this prototype
  • Integration of the German and Austrian insolvency
    registers
  • The possibility to search in both (German and
    Austrian) insolvency registers with one query
  • To give a hint, how an EU e-Justice Portal could
    look like
  • To invite others to join the initiative

Timeline of the Portal Prototype
9
Extension of the Portal Prototype
Integrated insolvency registers
  • Germany, Austria, Portugal,
  • Slovenia, Italy, NL, Estonia,
  • Latvia, Czech Rep
  • Slovakia, Romania

Implemented functionality
  • EU-wide search (in 11 insolvencyregisters)
  • Enhanced search (for two countries)
  • Multi-language support (two languages)

10
Extension of the Portal Prototype
  • Three Integrated translator databases
  • Austria
  • Germany
  • Czech. Republik
  • Preparations to connect the e-Justice Portal with
    the European Business Register and the European
    Land Information System (EULIS).

11
Recent Developments
  • On 2 June 2008 the Commission published "Towards
    a European e-Justice Strategy
  • In June 2008, the Council invited the Working
    Party on Legal Data Processing (e-Justice) to
    examine aspects relating to the creation of a
    coordination and management structure capable of
    developing multiple projects on a large scale and
    within a reasonable timeframe in the field of
    e-Justice.
  • In November 2008 the European Council published
    the European e-Justice action plan
  • In Mai 2009 the Council published the e-Justice
    Roadmap and Baseline assessment.

Projects Type A pilot
  • Goal service pilots with interoperability as
    the central theme aiming to demonstrate a
    federated solution and borderless operation of
    national systems
  • Outcome . to implement an open, common
    interoperable solution with results widely
    disseminated and available to all member states
  • Duration . typically 36 months with a pilot
    service operating for 12 months
  • Response a proposal embracing existing
    national activities and evaluated to the
    published evaluation criteria
  • Scale implementation in 6-10 Member
    States but with the potential to scale up to all
    member states
  • Participants National administrations (relevant
    National Competence Centres), service providers,
    industrial stakeholders and users
  • Funding .. supports up to 50 of costs of the
    effort to achieve interoperability Community
    contribution available is 5-10M / pilot)
