November 2019 - February 2023

The activities are organised in the framework of the Project “Support to further strengthening the efficiency and quality of the judicial system in the Republic of Moldova”, funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe in their Partnership for Good Governance II.

An earlier phase of this programme (January 2015 - December 2017) was supported by the European Union.

Context of the Project

In April 2014, the European Union and the Council of Europe agreed that targeted co-operation activities with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus – the EU’s Eastern Partnership countries – would be implemented under the Partnership for Good Governance programme. The phase I of the programme (PGGI) started in 2015 and was completed in 2018; the second phase of the programme (PGGII) was launched in 2019 and will run until 2021.

These co-operation activities aim to strengthen the capacity of the Eastern Partnership countries, which are member States of the Council of Europe, with the exception of Belarus, to implement domestic reforms to bring them closer to European standards in the fields of human rights, democracy and the rule of law.

Objectifs du Projet

The main objective is to assist Moldovan authorities to improve the functioning of the justice system through strengthened efficiency and quality of courts, and a better system of enforcement of court decisions. To this end, it will support the implementation of a system for monitoring the progress of judicial reforms and to allow the adoption of justice sector policies based on objective information about the workload and performance of courts. Other objectives are improving the collection, reporting and analysis of data on the efficiency and quality of the courts and of the enforcement system, and consolidating the mechanisms for judicial transparency and accountability.

Expected results

  • The efficiency and quality of courts are enhanced through the application of CEPEJ tools at national level, while the mechanisms for judicial transparency and accountability are further consolidated.
  • The enforcement of court decisions in civil and administrative cases is improved through the implementation of the instruments developed by CEPEJ to analyse the functioning and efficiency of the system of enforcement.

Back Discussing ways to improve the enforcement of court decisions in civil and administrative matters in the Republic of Moldova

On 13 August 2020 CEPEJ moderated an on-line workshop in order to discuss the ways to further improve the enforcement of court decisions in civil and administrative matters in the Republic of Moldova and to define priorities and specific activities by which the CEPEJ may support the national stakeholders. The activity took place through videoconferencing with participation of representatives of the Ministry of Justice, National Union of Enforcement Agents, international partners, as well as experts of the International Union of Judicial Officers and local consultants.

The main recommendations discussed during the workshop referred to the need to implement a system of monitoring and promoting efficiency and quality in the work of individual enforcement agents and of the enforcement system as a whole, including the use of performance indicators. Similarly, the broader recourse to IT tools, such as the implementation of registers of enforcement procedures and of case management systems, as well as a platform for on-line auctioning of goods were discussed.

The activity was part of the cooperation project “Support to further strengthening the efficiency and quality of the judicial system in the Republic of Moldova”, implemented in the framework of the European Union/Council of Europe Partnership for Good Governance II, co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe.
