Speaker 1
Thank you very much for all your valuable insights.  I think it was a good discussion.  Certainly both the members and guest speakers contributed to the aim of this exchange of views.  With that, may move to next item as the standing rapporteur for budgetary discharge matters, I would like to present to you the draft opinion on the 2025 discharge general budget of the EU Court of Justice of the European Union to the CONT committee which is the committee responsible for the discharge procedure as you well know. 

The annual procedure on the discharge allows the Parliament to hold the EU institutions accountable for the implementation of the EU budget.  This process of parliamentary scrutiny of the implementation of the budget aims to ensure compliance with the relevant legal and regulatory framework requirements and with the principle of sound financial management.  The draft I'm presenting you is for consideration purposes granting discharge to the Court of Justice of the European Union in the light of performance in 2025.  In the draft opinion, I emphasize the following points.  First, the very high budgetary implementation rate, it's 97%. 

Second, on the judicial efficiency, I note that the number of cases brought before both the Court of Justice and General Court continued to increase while the number of pending cases is decreasing.
