Abstract

The Court of Justice has recently submitted a proposal to the Parliament and the Council, which would enable the Court of First Instance to give decisions in cases when constituted by a single Judge. This proposal, which would alter the essential collegiate and multinational character of the Court of First Instance, reflects the fact that it is necessary to deal with the still growing caseload and the proposal would, in fact, increase its judicial capacity. However, even if this proposal becomes reality, it will still be necessary to undertake a review of the EC’s judicial structure. A debate on the ECJ’s future has to be launched.
