Need for immediate and holistic justice reform
The statistical results of Cyprus presented in the latest report "The 2022 EU Justice Scoreboard" demonstrate in the most resounding way the need for immediate completion of holistic justice reform.
In terms of case adjudication time, our country ranks last in Europe, which is one of the main motivations for the implementation of judicial reform planning.
Once again, the need to promote the bills pending before the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Affairs concerning the structure of the Supreme Court has become apparent.
As the Government, in recent years we have exhausted all possibilities for dialogue and discussion both with the parliamentary parties and with all stakeholders.
At the same time, we can see that where reform projects are progressing, the image of Cyprus in Europe is improving.
At the same time, we can see that Cyprus' image in Europe is improving. For example, when it comes to the introduction of technology in the Courts, Cyprus has managed to rise from the last position to the 13th position.
But the time has come for final decisions and the last word belongs to the parliamentary parties.
We must give the citizen what is rightfully his, the timely and quality administration of justice.
That is why I appeal to the political forces to proceed swiftly with the passage of the bills.
