Type: Acts of the Council of Europe: Multi-annual european E-justice Action Plan 2009-2013

Authority: European Authorities - European Union (Council of European Union)

Date: 03/31/2009

Subject: The Council individualizes three criteria of the European e-Justice: access to information in the field of justice, dematerialisation of cross-border judicial and extrajudicial proceedings (for example electronic communication between a court and the parties to the proceedings), simplification of the communication between the judicial authorities and the Member States (for example videoconferencing or secure electronic networks). The uniform European e-Justice portal will provide access to the whole European e-Justice system. It will permit by means of a uniform authentication procedure to open up for members of the legal professions the various functionalities reserved for them, to which they will have differentiated access rights. It will also provide access to national functionalities by means of a user-friendly multilingual interface, making them understandable to the European citizens.
