The procedure is intended to deal expeditiously with references for a preliminary ruling on provisions adopted relating to the area of freedom, security and justice, and might be called ‘the emergency preliminary ruling procedure’. Certain references for a preliminary ruling in this rapidly developing eld will need to be handled with particular expedition, whether because of their sensitive nature or because of very strict time limits laid down by the Community legislation. Since the current procedural framework is not suited to meeting such needs, only a new type of procedure is capable of providing the necessary guarantees of eciency. Also, 2006 was marked by the partial renewal of the membership of the Court, entailing the departure of six of its members. When the new appointments were made, the Governments of the Member States were concerned to safeguard the stability of the institution, thereby enabling it to continue smoothly in the performance of its task. The Court cannot but welcome this. This Report contains a full record of changes aecting the institution and of its work in 2006. As usual, a substantial part of the Report is devoted to succinct but exhaustive accounts of the main judicial activity of the Court of Justice, the Court of First Instance and the Civil Service Tribunal, accompanied by statistics.

It describes, rst, how the institution evolved during that year, with the emphasis on the institutional changes aecting the Court and developments relating to its internal organisation and working methods (Section 1). It includes, second, an analysis of the statistics in relation to developments in the Court’s workload and the average duration of proceedings (Section 2). It presents, third, as each year, the main developments in the case-law, arranged by subject-matter (Section 3). 1. The main development in 2006 for the Court as an institution was constituted by the adoption of preparatory measures for the accession of the Republic of Bulgaria and of Romania on 1 January 2007 (Section 1.1). The past year was also the rst in which the Civil Service Tribunal operated (Section 1.2), and a legislative process was embarked upon to establish a procedure for the expeditious and appropriate handling of references for preliminary rulings concerning the area of freedom, security and justice (Section 1.3). 1.1. A year and a half after the enlargement in 2004 when 20 new judges were welcomed to the institution, the Court of Justice had to commence preparations for the accession of the Republic of Bulgaria and of Romania on 1 January 2007. In January 2006 an ad hoc working group was set up in order to identify the needs of the various departments and to ensure coordination of all the preparatory work at administrative level. In addition, from 1 July 2006, members of sta were recruited to work in the two new language units in the Translation Directorate. As regards the organisation of judicial work, the Court decided, in view of the forthcoming accession of the Republic of Bulgaria and of Romania, to create an additional chamber of ve judges and an additional chamber of three judges. The Court now has four ve-judge chambers (the First, Second, Third and Fourth Chambers) and four three-judge chambers (the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Chambers). Each ve-judge chamber is composed of six judges, and each three-judge chamber of ve judges, who sit in rotation
