Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Text proposed by the Commission(11) In criminal matters, the Programme should help implement rules and procedures to ensure the recognition of judgments and decisions throughout the Union and support the protection of the Union financial interests.

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Text proposed by the Commission(13) The Programme should support the training of the judiciary and judicial staff. Training activities should contribute to the implementation of Union strategic priorities, including for instance, training on civil and criminal law, on the effective application of the Charter, on mutual recognition as well as on procedural safeguards (including safeguards for strategic lawsuits against public participation (anti-SLAPP)). Training activities under the Programme should have a strong focus on digitalisation of justice, providing a supportive environment for the judiciary and judicial staff, including through increasing digital skills, knowledge and awareness.

Support to training should happen in synergy with measures at national level, thus leveraging the impact of the Programme.

Amendment 4

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 16

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Text proposed by the Commission(16) The Programme should contribute to digitalisation of justice, including by developing, rolling-out and maintaining tools at Union level. It could thus leverage tools facilitating digital communication between courts and parties such as the European Electronic Access Point, allowing easier access to judicial data such as the European Case Law Identifier, or enhancing the efficiency and security of digitalised judicial procedures such as trust services under Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 and the European Digital Identity Wallets. A well-functioning Union area of justice with effective and resilient national justice systems is necessary for a flourishing internal market and it is a precondition for economic growth, sound financial markets and competitiveness. Digitalisation enhances the efficiency of cross-border judicial procedures in civil and criminal matters as well as access to justice within the Union, which in turn are a driver for investments. Digitalisation of justice also enables and facilitates the effective and efficient cooperation with other competent authorities in the implementation and enforcement of key pieces of the EU digital rulebook, such as for instance the Digital Services Act. Digitalising justice systems helps also to reduce costs for both public budgets and end users, while maintaining effective services for citizens and businesses. It enables justice professionals to focus on core tasks, improving the quality and efficiency of proceedings. Digital tools also expand access to justice, by allowing remote communication and easy access to judicial files, thereby enhancing transparency. Moreover, digitalisation strengthens the resilience of national justice systems in times of crisis (such as pandemics), ensuring they can continue to operate effectively for the benefit of citizens and businesses. That strengthens trust in the justice system’s ability to function reliably under unexpected circumstances.	Amendment(16) The Programme should contribute to digitalisation of justice, without replacing the responsibility of Member States regarding the digitalisation of their national justice systems, including by developing, rolling-out and maintaining tools at Union level. It could thus leverage tools facilitating digital communication between courts and parties such as the European Electronic Access Point, allowing easier access to judicial data such as the European Case Law Identifier, or enhancing the efficiency and security of digitalised judicial procedures such as trust services under Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 and the European Digital Identity Wallets.
