On the 1st of June 2016 the ENCJ Members gathered in Warsaw to elect a new President and 4 new Board members. Ms. Nuria Diaz Abad, member of the Spanish Consejo General del Poder Judicial, was elected to succeed Sir Geoffrey Vos as President of the ENCJ. Her mandate will start on 3 June and last two years. 

The Raad voor de rechtspraak of the Netherlands, the Romanian Consiliul Superior al Magistraturii, Sodni Svet of Slovenia and the Scottish Judical Council were elected into the Board for two years. 

The Commission wants to help businesses overcome financial difficulties in case of bankruptcy, while at the same time maximising the value received by other parties concerned. An appropriate insolvency framework would be an essential element of a good business environment and would therefore in the Commission's view be important for jobs and growth. This consultation seeks stakeholders' views on key insolvency aspects.

The ENCJ has published its first annual report. The report covers the period September 2014 to August 2015 and its main focus is on the developments in the judiciaries of the ENCJ Members. 

This guide is the result of several years’ work led by the European Expertise and Expert Institute (EEEI) with the support of the European Commission’s DG Justice.

On 9-10 November 2015 ENCJ organised a regional Timeliness seminar in Bucharest for the Central and South Eastern countries. The seminar was the 3rd in a series of 4 seminars.
