The Government announced that, on\u00a0 January 3rd, a set of documents reporting the progress of the judicial reform in the Republic of Moldova were to be send for an expertise to the Council of Europe. This was announced by Prime Minister Ion Chicu at the meeting of the cabinet of ministers, as IPN reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The set of documents includes three elements: the strategy for ensuring the independence and integrity of the judiciary for the period 2020-2023, the action plan for implementing the strategy and the draft law on the evaluation of judges.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our promise was that we will submit these fundamental documents for the judicial reform by January 5th, so that the expert group, offered to us by the Council of Europe, will come to the Moldova by January 20 and assist us in implementing this reform,”<\/em> noted the prime minister.<\/p>\n

The commission that will evaluate the integrity and professionalism of the judges will be made up of ten people, five of whom will be foreign experts, recommended by the European Union and other envelopment partners. The other five will be appointed by Parliament. “The reform provides for the elimination of political involvement in the Superior Council of Magistracy affairs, by excluding the Minister of Justice from this structure, and limits the immunity of judges only to the area of their functional responsibility,\u201d<\/em> specified Chicu.<\/p>\n

The PM had also a meeting with Peter Michalko<\/strong>, the head of the EU delegation to the Republic of Moldova.\u00a0A particular topic of their discussions, as a Government’s press release<\/a> stated, was the progress of the judicial reform implementation and the set of documents regarding the judicial reform to be submitted for examination to the Council of Europe.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Justice, Fadei Nagacevschi<\/strong>, said that the strategy for ensuring the independence and integrity of the judiciary had been formulated for several years, taking into consideration previous proposals of the Council of Europe. The minister hopes that these documents will be presented in the Parliament for approval during the period February-March 2020. As he stated, the strategy also provides for the amendment of the Constitution, namely the provisions referring to the Superior Council of Magistracy and the way of judges’ appointment.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, former Minister of Justice Olesea Stamate<\/strong> criticised the Chicu Government for its declarations of transmitting documents to the Council of Europe. She mentioned\u00a0 that no document aimed at reforming judiciary was published on the Ministry of Justice website.<\/p>\n

“Usually, such documents are first published for citizens, then transmitted to international organisations for expertise. If this is a preliminary, technical expertise, then why do we talk so much about it? The documents just have to be sent. The problem is that this government has nothing to present, it achieved nothing, while proudly announcing about transmitting some “secret” documents to the Council of Europe,”<\/em> Stamate wrote<\/a> on social media.<\/p>\n

Later on, the documents<\/a> were published on the official website of the Ministry of Justice.<\/p>\n
