2025 Rule of Law Report
Additional questionnaire on the single market dimension
In line with the discussions in the meeting of the network of contact points on 10 December, the Commission is hereby sharing an additional questionnaire on the single market dimension for the 2025 Rule of Law Report. This additional questionnaire should be answered in the same manner as the regular questionnaire. Please provide a general overview of the relevant legal framework (if not covered in previous inputs for the Rule of Law Report), as well as information on any relevant developments since January 2024. You are asked to provide the ‘type of information’ as outlined in section two of the main questionnaire (i.e. legislative developments, policy developments, developments related to the judiciary/independent authorities, as well as others if deemed relevant). In addition, below it is always indicated which pillar and sub-section the additional questions refer to, so that you can better contextualise them within the existing questionnaire. Please send your input on this questionnaire by 24 January 2025 to [email protected] (either as part of your overall input or separately).

Questions for input on the single market dimension of the Rule of Law Report
Pillar I:
Quality of justice
• Specialisation (of judges/specific courts/chambers within courts) and training for the judiciary to deal with commercial cases.
• Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and mediation
Pillar II:
Prevention
• Measures for the prevention of corruption in relation to the issuing of official permits (e.g. related to environment, energy and various types of construction)
• Reporting on the use of digital technologies to enhance transparency and oversight in public procurement
Pillar IV:
The process for preparing and enacting laws
• Safeguards to ensure legal certainty, the stability of the legal framework and non-discrimination. [this question complements the exiting question on rules and use of fast-track and emergency procedures]
Independent authorities
• Safeguards to ensure the effective independence of supervisory and regulatory authorities with a direct impact on economic operators

Accessibility and judicial review of administrative decisions
• Respect of the good administration principle (including the obligation of the administration to give reasons for decisions) [this question complements the existing question on transparency of administrative decisions]
• Safeguards (other than judicial review) regarding decisions or inaction of administrative authorities, including remedies. [this question complements the existing question on judicial review of administrative decisions]
