The General Assembly of the ENCJ adopted the Lisbon Declaration on Leading Positive Change. The declaration states that Councils for the Judiciary should initiate and lead a process of positive change and focuses on two aspects: the internal aspect in the sense of the engagement of stakeholders and in t he external sense of the judiciary's relationship with other state posers and strengtening the role of the judiciary within the State. 

The Declaration also contains paragraphs that deal with the situation in Poland and Turkey.

In particular that the presence at the General Assembly of representatives of the KRS of Poland does not mean that the ENCJ accepts that its Member status within our association will be maintained.
