Corsi di diritto europeo per i giudici

Training of judges, prosecutors and judicial staff

The Council is due to adopt a resolution on the training of judges, prosecutors and judicial staff in the European Union. The aim is to improve their knowledge of European legislation, foreign legal systems and foreign languages to improve the application of Community law and secure closer judicial cooperation between Member States. It is also designed to boost the European Judicial Training Network.

That Resolution follows the informal meeting of Justice and Home Affairs Ministers in Cannes on 7 and 8 July 2008, at which the issue of the training of judges was discussed in detail.

The Permanent Representatives Committee has already reached agreement on the draft Resolution and has decided to submit it to the Council for adoption.
