§ Mr. SpringTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the European Commission on the report of the Reflexion Group on the future of the judicial system in the European Communities. [124073]
§ Mr. VazWe are in regular contact with the Commission on the full range of IGC issues. The 'Friends of the Presidency' group on reform of the European Court of Justice is not a Commission group. It is part of the IGC and is made up of member states' representatives. But it has provided a useful forum to discuss proposals for reform of the EC judicial system, including papers from the ECJ itself and from the Commission.
