Dear President,
Please find attached an updated questionnaire on judicial independence which was developed by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers in cooperation with the European Network of Councils for the Judiciary (ENCJ).
The objective of the updated questionnaire is the same as previous years and aims to collect factual information on structural guarantees for judicial independence, which cover certain guarantees for the independence of judges and for the independence of the judiciary. The results have been published in EU Justice Scoreboards from 2014 to 2023 <https://ec.europa.eu/info/policies/justice-and-fundamental-rights/upholding-rule-law/eu-justice-scoreboard_en> .
Please note that:
The updated judicial independence questionnaire maintains all questions from the 2022 questionnaire and is already prefilled with the replies you have provided in previous years. However, you may adapt the prefilled replies, if the legislation or practice in your country has changed or if you believe the replies should be clarified. Please highlight any such additional changes red. For this year you need to reply only to the new or modified questions that are highlighted in yellow. These mostly concern a few new questions on the appointment of court presidents. The replies given in the present questionnaire could later be published.
We would kindly ask you to provide replies to the updated questionnaire by the 18 January 2023 to the following addresses:
[email protected] <mailto:
[email protected]> ;

If you require any clarification please contact the European Commission directly (

We thank you for your cooperation.
Yours sincerely,
