On 10 – 13 June 2024, the EU4Justice Project continued to support the HPC on the Ethical and Performance Evaluation of Prosecutors. This time the Italian magistrate experts of the project concluded discussions with the HPC Working Group, set up by Order No. 60, dated 25 March 2024, on the draft amendments to the HPC Regulation No. 95/2022 ‘On the Ethical and Professional Performance Evaluation of Prosecutors’.

Following final discussions, the HPC on its Plenary Session of 18 June 2024 approved unanimously (7 votes out of 7 present), with its Decision no. 100, dated 18.06.2024, the draft amendments which provide a simplified process of evaluation for 1 evaluation (one 3 years and one 5 years) for the period of evaluation 2017-2021. The simplified process aims at solving the urgency of the backlog created, by allowing the Council to conduct the process of evaluation in a timely manner.
