EU Ministers Discuss Headway in E-Justice
Progress in e-justice topped the agenda of an informal meeting of EU justice ministers at Brdo pri Kranju on Friday, most notably an e-justice portal, which would be used by the member states to exchange justice information.
Slovenian Justice Minister Lovro Sturm said the portal would be a pilot project, initially with a limited range of services which would later be expanded and upgraded.
It would open for public in 24 months, but the deadline could be shifted after an interim review 12 months from now, he explained.
Sturm as well as European Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini stressed that the e-justice system would have to be decentralised and comply with the strictest security standards.
Frattini added that the European Commission would draw up a paper in time for the conference on e-justice, which Slovenia will host in June.
