Summary:

Communication published by the European Commission in May 2018 featuring the annual Justice Scoreboard.

Further information:

The EU Justice Scoreboard is a comparative information tool that aims to assist the EU and Member States to improve the effectiveness of national justice systems. The Scoreboard contributes to identifying good practices, improvements and potential shortcomings. It shows trends in the functioning of national justice systems over time. It does not promote any particular type of justice system, whatever the model of the national justice system - or the legal tradition in which it is anchored - timeliness, independence, affordability and user-friendly access are some of the essential features of an effective justice system.

This is the sixth edition of the EU Justice Scorebaord, adopted by the Commission on 28 May 2018.
