On Thursday, the European Commission published the fourteenth edition of the EU Justice Scoreboard, an annual report providing comparative data on the efficiency, quality, and independence of the justice systems among EU Member States.
The 2026 edition shows an improved perception of the independence and efficiency of justice systems. It also highlights the essential role of effective justice systems and independent authorities in fostering a fair and competitive environment, including data on key actors of the Single Market. For the first time, the Scoreboard also includes an overview of the competences of Member States’ highest administrative courts and ordinary courts in business-related cases.
The EU Justice Scoreboard findings contribute to the monitoring carried out within the framework of the Annual Rule of Law Cycle and the European Semester. They will inform the Commission’s 2026 Rule of Law Report, as well as the final stages of the national Recovery and Resilience Plans.
