Traduction de «procédure du grand jury » (Français → Anglais) :

This means that Member States still need to overcome major challenges in terms of further simplification and streamlining of procedures, greater back-office integration and necessary technical adaptations, in particular to ensure cross-border access.

It should be noted that, in the context of the judicial review of the decision by which a selection board refuses to include a candidate on the reserve list, the Tribunal verifies whether the relevant rules of law have been observed, that is to say the rules, in particular the procedural rules, laid down in the Staff Regulations and the notice of competition and those governing the proceedings of the selection board, in particular the selection board’s duty of impartiality and its observance of the principle of equal treatment of cand ...[+++]idates, and the absence of misuse of powers (judgment of 13 December 2012 in Case F‑101/11 Mileva v Commission, paragraph 40 and the case-law cited).

Moreover, as regards the test paper for the version of the subject on which the applicant was examined in the case study, the Tribunal holds that, although according to case-law a document is covered by the secrecy surrounding the proceedings of the selection board where communication of the document is liable to disclose the attitudes adopted by individual members of the selection board or assessments of a personal and comparative nature with regard to the candidates (Konstantopoulou v Court of Justice, paragraph 27), the confidentiality surrounding the proceedings of the selection board does not preclude the confidentiality of a document in a competition procedure being jus ...[+++]tified on other grounds.

It appears, therefore, that the new method replaces the old selection process based on membership of the selection board remaining the same throughout the competition procedure, by a selection process in which the stability of the selection board is guaranteed only at certain key stages of the procedure but in which equal treatment of the candidates is ensured by working methods remaining the same and through application of the same assessment criteria to the candidates’ performance.

Members may also be aware that the United States has a long-standing grand jury procedure where a federal grand jury can subpoena any person to testify under oath.

When we compare it to the grand jury system of the United States, when we look at coroners' or provincial judges' inquests, and when we look at some of the other processes where an accused is not allowed to have direct contact, even in the court, with the victim, I find this to be a well-balanced measure that does not in any way diminish the accused's substantive liberties.
