On 1 December 2009 the Treaty of Lis- bon entered into force after a long and complex ratification procedure. This Treaty, which is de- signed to endow the European Union with more effective legislative and administrative structures enhancing its ability to meet the challenges of the beginning of the 21st century, brings important changes to most of the fields of activity of the Court of Justice. Apart from the consequences re- sulting from the European Union’s acquisition of legal personality and from the abandonment of its three-pillar structure, the Treaty of Lisbon introduces reforms relating both to the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice and to the procedures before the three courts of which it is composed. The past year also saw a partial replacement of the membership of the Court, four of whose mem- bers departed. The governments of the Member States were again concerned, in this partial re- newal, to make the appointments without delay and to safeguard the stability of the institution as far as possible, thereby enabling it to continue smoothly in the performance of its task. The Court cannot but welcome this. Finally, 2009 was also marked by a very sad event, the death of Advocate General Dámaso Ruiz-Jarabo Colomer. The impact of his death continues to be strongly felt, if only because we are deliberating, and will continue to deliberate over the coming months, in cases which have had the benefit of his opinions. His thinking accompanies us in our work in a very concrete manner. This Annual Report provides a full record of changes affecting the institution and its work in 2009. As is the case every year, a substantial part of the Annual Report is devoted to brief but exhaustive accounts of the main judicial activity of the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal. Separate statistics for each court supplement and illustrate the analysis. V. Skouris President of the Court of Justice Annual Report 2009 5 Chapter I The Court of Justice Proceedings Court of Justice A — The Court of Justice in 2009: changes and proceedings By Mr Vassilios Skouris, President of the Court of Justice This first part of the Annual Report gives an overview of the activity of the Court of Justice of the European Union in 2009. It describes, first, how the institution evolved during the past year, with the emphasis on the institutional changes affecting the Court of Justice 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 of Justice’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). 1.1. The major event bringing change to the Court of Justice as an institution in 2009 was incon- testably the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. This Treaty has made a number of amendments to the provisions of the EU Treaty and the EC Treaty concerning the Court of Justice. Some of these amendments flow from the abandonment of the three-pillar structure of the European Union, from the resulting disappearance of the European Community and from the legal personality which the European Union henceforth enjoys. Other amendments are more specific and concern the Court of Justice directly. Mentioning only the most important amendments, first, the judicial institution of the European Union has, since 1 December 2009, been called the Court of Justice of the European Union. As be- fore, it is composed of three courts, but henceforth called: the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal. The creation of further specialised tribunals remains possible but, following the entry into force of the Treaty of

In his opening speech, Mr Arpad Goncz, President of the Hungarian Republic, outlined Hungary's progress over the past six years in strengthening the rule of law and the market economy.

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.
