In its Communication “Building trust in EU-wide justice. A new dimension to European judicial training", the European Commission set the goal of ensuring that half of all legal practitioners in the EU (around 700,000) are trained in EU law or the national law of another Member State by 2020. In 2012 the European Commission carried out the first reporting on European judicial training. With the helpful collaboration of the Member States, the training providers at European level and the networks of legal professionals, the European Commission gathered data concerning European judicial training during 2011.
The report, which can be found attached, shows that more than 87.000 legal practitioners were trained on EU law or law of another Member State, out of which 10.000 were financially supported by the EU. There are, however, still considerable differences in training participation among Member States and among the different legal professions. Despite the overall good result, more work needs to be done to foster Judicial Training, notably for lawyers, court staff and bailiffs.
