European Court of Justice faces scrutiny over ethical transparency

The European Court of Justice (CJEU) is reportedly facing questions regarding its transparency concerning potential conflicts of interest among its judges. For several months, the Luxembourg-based institution has not responded to inquiries about whether any judges have been sanctioned for violating its ethical rules. This lack of response, highlighted by the Investigate Europe collective and its partners, underscores concerns about the opacity within the continent's most powerful judicial body. The CJEU's decisions are binding on EU member states and impact 450 million Europeans, making its internal ethical oversight a matter of significant public interest.
