Description

Those best practices should, inter alia, meet the following objectives: 

  • Provide practical guidance for the actual exercise of data collection at the national level, especially in the case of instruments that do not provide for explicit data collection or contain only general provisions;  
  • The Commission and the Council are invited to consider implementing these good practices when drafting mandatory data collection provision in new instruments4 ;
  • The EJN contact points should also take into consideration these good practices when agreeing on data collection on a voluntary basis, in the context of EJN meetings for instance;
  • Having regard to the increasing use of IT technologies in the implementation of EU instruments, Member States are encouraged to take them into account when developing or upgrading IT systems.

The European Judicial Network has established in this document Good Practices aimed at a wide target group, consisting in all the actors responsible for the evaluation of EU instruments at all stages, from the legislative to the implementation phase, including those involved in the development of IT systems, in the Member States, or in the European institutions.
