Electronic one-stop-shop for access to justice throughout the EU
11 September 2010
In line with the EU's efforts to inform its 500 million citizens, help them better understand the objectives of its institutions and encourage citizens to become more pro-active in EU affairs and to come to terms with the EU's presence in their daily routine., a new portal https://e-justice.europa.eu has just been launched to provide an electronic one-stop-shop for access to justice throughout the EU.
The portal provides information and links on laws and practices in all the Member States. Citizens, businesses, lawyers, notaries and judges should find this new portal very useful. Information on legislative instruments to facilitate cross-border proceedings, including judicial cooperation and video conferencing, is also given. Other sections deal with particular topics including going to court, legal aid, mediation, family law and finding a lawyer in the EU. The site can be accessed in all the official EU languages.
New information, tools and functions will be added in the coming years. The portal facilitates access to justice for EU citizens involved in cross-border cases and will make judiciary proceedings in Europe faster and more user-friendly for the citizens.
