Now to the European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters.

I would now like to turn to the Commission proposal for a Council decision establishing a European judicial network in civil and commercial matters.

The usual task of the European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters, as you said, is to facilitate this legal cooperation in Europe.

The European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters is, for the moment, preparing a handbook on the legal aspects of the use of videoconferencing in the taking of evidence.

This network also cooperates with other European networks, namely FIN-NET (financial), Solvit (internal market), Enterprise Europe Network, Europe Direct, European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters.

The European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters may, without doubt, use its contacts - you are correct in this, Mr Medina Ortega - to involve itself more deeply in achieving greater compliance with requests to take evidence within the timescales set out in the regulation.
