03/02/2021 (Agence Europe) – On Wednesday 3 February, the ambassadors of the Member States to the EU (Coreper) gave the go-ahead for the creation of an ad hoc working group on the e-CODEX (e-Justice Communication via Online Data Exchange) computer system. According to our sources, the group will be responsible for adopting the position of the EU Council on the proposal for a Regulation, presented in December, which aims to transfer the management, development, and maintenance of this system to the European Union Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice (eu-LISA), from July 2023 (see EUROPE 12614/12). Currently, the e-CODEX system is managed by a consortium of Member States and other organisations. The first meeting of the ad hoc working group is expected to take place next month. (MF)
