Orador 2

Let me move to the 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. The average length of proceedings before the Court of Justice reduced in comparison to previous year and stood at 16.7 months, while the length of proceedings before the General Court remained similar to the previous years.

Next, 2025 also marked the first full year of entry into force of the regulation amending the statute of the Court of Justice of the EU. The operation of one-stop shop established to centralize the analysis of requests for preliminary ruling liable to transferred to the General Court proves to be effective. The initial results show that the reform is achieving its objectives of speeding up case handling through a better workload distribution between the courts. The next element in my proposal is the use of e-Curia continues to grow before both courts, and also welcome of drawing up the AI ethics charter aimed in ensuring that institutions' actions in the field of AI comply with the applicable legal framework and the highest ethical standards as well as the court's initiative to introduce a pilot traineeship program for trainees with disabilities, thereby reinforcing the institution's commitment to inclusion and equal opportunities. Last but not least, the court has also taken actions to promote employment opportunities and to ensure a balanced geographical representation of staff as well as gender balance, including management position.

With that introduction, I would like to give the floor to the shadow rapporteurs, and Mr. Voss, I believe, is going to speak on behalf of Emil Radev. Mr. Voss.
