Abstract

e-CODEX (e-Justice Communication via Online Data Exchange) is a way of communicating and collaborating cross-border in the area of the judiciary in Europe. It therefore provides technical components to be used for setting up national access points to connect to the e-CODEX network. The initial e-CODEX project was an ambitious and trend-setting project supposed to enable citizens and business entities in all of Europe to electronically communicate with the courts of other Member States in a secure and easy way in cross-border cases. In addition, it was supposed to enable electronic communication among judicial authorities of the Member States. The project was funded by the EU and had a volume of around EUR 25 million. As the e-CODEX project ended in May 2016, sustainability of e-CODEX (ongoing operation and maintenance also beyond the project term) is of major importance and should be warranted by way of a European agency. Until the project is operated and maintained by an existing European agency, the duties are being fulfilled by the bridging Me-CODEX projects. The European order for payment procedure has already been successfully set up as a pilot project for e-CODEX in Austria, Germany, Estonia, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and in the Czech Republic; the European small claims procedure, transmissions in the area of the commercial or business registers, administrative penalties, cross-border exchange of sensitive data regarding conventions on mutual judicial assistance and the European arrest warrant are other pilot projects currently running. e-CODEX has therefore already proven to be ready to support the electronic communication for the European Investigation Order procedure.
