The EU closely monitors the processes around the Court - the EU Ambassador recently made this statement.
Carl Hartzell says that the selection process should be transparent so that there are no question marks. The Ambassador also evaluated Eka Beselia"s initiative and said that it was clear for him why this issue was on the agenda.
"The EU together with other organizations is closely following the reform. We believe that the rules and criteria, which should be developed for the process of the election of judges should be transparent and reliable. It is necessary to have trust in the Georgian justice not only for Georgians, but also for foreign investors as well. As for the initiative of Beselia, I understand why she presented this initiative. However, I am not authorized to assess it. This is an issue that should be resolved in accordance with local legislation and the Constitution, "- said Carl Hartzell.
