As usual, a substantial part of the report is devoted to accounts of the main judicial activity of the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal, providing an overview of developments in the case-law. In addition, statistics provide details, for each court, of the nature and quantity of the cases which were brought before them. A new record was achieved in 2014 with a total of 1 691 cases brought before the three courts, that is to say, the highest number since the judicial system of the European Union was created. On the other hand, as 1 685 cases were completed, the institution’s productiv- ity was likewise the highest recorded in its history. This increased productivity also had its counter- part in the duration of proceedings, which was reduced. This good performance confers no protection, however, against the risk of the system becoming clogged up in the future. Whilst the courts’ constant workload, and especially the increase in the number of the cases before the General Court, is undeniably proof of the system’s success, it may also compromise its effectiveness. Furthermore, since 1 December 2014, following the transitional period introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon as regards the judicial review of acts of the European Union in the field of police coopera- tion and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the Court of Justice has had full jurisdiction under Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) to decide infringement proceedings against any Member State — with one exception — where they breach provisions of EU law in that field. For those reasons, means of improving the effectiveness of the judicial system of the European Union, whether legislative in nature or relating to working methods, are constantly and continu- ously sought. An important step in that direction was taken in 2014 with the draft of the new Rules of Procedure of the General Court, which was favourably received by the Council. These new Rules of Procedure include measures designed to improve the effectiveness of the General Court’s work, and they also provide a means of ensuring that information or material pertaining to the security of the European Union or its Member States or to the conduct of their international relations is protected when it is dealt with by the General Court. An even more important step remains to be taken in the future. After being invited to do so by the Italian Presidency of the Council in the second half of 2014, the Court submitted to the Council a proposal to double the number of General Court judges in three successive stages extending until 2019. As this proposal was agreed to in principle by the Council, it will have to be developed in the first months of 2015. On 20 and 21 November 2014, the institution celebrated the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the General Court. The events organised in that context enabled this enriching period for the judicial system of the European Union to be appraised, but also enabled future prospects to be considered. Annual report 2014 5 Court of Justice Foreword The year 2014 also provided the opportunity to mark the 10th anniversary of the European Union’s enlargement on 1 May 2004 through the accession of 10 new Member States, by holding a confer- ence on 5 June 2014 entitled ‘The Court of Justice from 2004 to 2014: a retrospective’. This foreword to the annual report is the last that I will have the honour of signing as president of the institution. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues in the Court of Justice for the confidence that they have repeatedly placed in me, and the members of the Gen- eral Court and the Civil Service Tribunal for their contribution to the task with which our institution has been entrusted. I also thank all those who, in the background but playing a crucial role, in the chambers or the departments of the institution, ensure that the Court of Justice of the European Union can state the law.

In the context of the profound social and legislative changes which many of the Council of Europe's new member states were undergoing, people expected more from the judicial system, which was itself facing problems of structures and resources.
