Minister of Justice of the Kingdom of Spain Mr Juan Carlos Campo San Bernardo 45, CP

Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group To the attention of: Minister of Justice of the Kingdom of Spain Mr Juan Carlos Campo San Bernardo 45, CP. 28015, Madrid 11 May 2021 SUBJECT: Request for information regarding the functioning of judiciary and the procedure for the appointments to the National Council of the Judiciary Dear Mr Campo, On behalf of the Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group established within the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs of the European Parliament, I would kindly enquire background information and clarifications regarding the functioning of the judiciary, notably the current debate concerning the proposal to lower the required majority for the appointment of members of the Council of the Judiciary. On April 21st, the Spanish Government has withdrawn the law to reform the Spanish Council of the Judiciary with a view to unblock the situation following concerns expressed by a number of Spanish judges' associations as well as by the European Commission. However, we would be grateful to receive more information on any proposals your government intends to take to improve the functioning of the judiciary in Spain, on what consultations are planned for the preparation of such proposals, and if and how the Venice Commission will be consulted. Does the government plan a reform of the Council of the Judiciary, in particular to depoliticize the appointment process? We understand that the appointment of new members of the Council of the Judiciary, as required by the Constitution, is currently stalled in the absence of the required political majority. What impact will this have on the functioning of the Council of the Judiciary and on the appointment of judges, and how can the deadlock be resolved? Looking forward to your reply. Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group With kind regards, Sophie in ‘t Veld MEP Chair – Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs European Parliament CC: Juan Pablo García-Berdoy, Permanent Representative of Spain to the European Union David Sassoli, President of European Parliament Juan Fernando López Aguilar, Chair of LIBE Committee .

February 05, 1960 Prime Minister Nehru's Letter to Premier Chou En-Lai [Zhou Enlai]
Digital Archive digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org International History Declassified February 05, 1960 Prime Minister Nehru's Letter to Premier Chou En-lai [Zhou Enlai] Citation: “Prime Minister Nehru's Letter to Premier Chou En-lai [Zhou Enlai],” February 05, 1960, History and Public Policy Program Digital Archive, Documents on the Sino-Indian Boundary Question (Peking: Foreign Language Press, 1960), 142-144. http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/175960 Summary: Original Language: English Contents: Scan of Original Document Prime Minister Nehru's Letter to Premier Chou En-lai (February 5, 1960) New Delhi, February 5, 1960. His Excellency Mr. Chou En-lai, Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China, Peking. My clear Prime Minister, My Government is sending you separately, through our Ambassador in Peking, a reply to the note of the Chinese Government which was handed to the Indian Embassy on the 26th December 1959. I confess that I do not particularly like this long dis tance correspondence which consists of a reaffirmation of our respective views, and yet there is no escape from this when questions of far-reaching importance are raised between Governments and statements made which cannot be accepted. You were good enough to suggest that we should meet to discuss these matters and, so far as we are concerned, it has been our consistent policy to welcome such meet ings and informal approaches which sometimes lead to helpful results. But I found that the respective view- 142 oints of our two Governments, in regard to the matters nder discussion, were so wide apart and opposed to ach other that there was little ground left for useful ilks.

Australia's System of Government
61 Australia’s system of government Australia is a federation, a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. This means that Australia: Has a Queen, who resides in the United Kingdom and is represented in Australia by a Governor-General. Is governed by a ministry headed by the Prime Minister. Has a two-chamber Commonwealth Parliament to make laws. A government, led by the Prime Minister, which must have a majority of seats in the House of Representatives. Has eight State and Territory Parliaments. This model of government is often referred to as the Westminster System, because it derives from the United Kingdom parliament at Westminster. A Federation of States Australia is a federation of six states, each of which was until 1901 a separate British colony. The states – New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania - each have their own governments, which in most respects are very similar to those of the federal government. Each state has a Governor, with a Premier as head of government. Each state also has a two-chambered Parliament, except Queensland which has had only one chamber since 1921. There are also two self-governing territories: the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. The federal government has no power to override the decisions of state governments except in accordance with the federal Constitution, but it can and does exercise that power over territories. A Constitutional Monarchy Australia is an independent nation, but it shares a monarchy with the United Kingdom and many other countries, including Canada and New Zealand. The Queen is the head of the Commonwealth of Australia, but with her powers delegated to the Governor-General by the Constitution.
