European Network of Councils for the Judiciary explained
The European Network of Councils for the Judiciary (ENCJ) is the European organization that unites the councils of the judiciary – national bodies in support of the Judiciary.[1] [2] From May 2018 the chairman is the Dutchman Kees Sterk. Presidents change every two years.[3] [4]
The ENCJ opts for cooptation of the judiciary and against the influence of parliamentary representatives in the composition of its ranks.[5] It played an important role in the criticism from the European Union on developments in the control of the judiciary from parliament and executive power in countries such as Holland.[6] [7] [8]
