The Pre-Vetting Commission announces that it has completed the second resumed evaluation of judge Ecaterina Buzu, a judicial candidate for the membership in the Superior Council of Magistracy (SCM). The Commission did not find serious doubts as to the candidate’s compliance with the criterion of financial integrity, because the candidate mitigated the Commission’s concerns by new evidence and explanations provided to the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ), and so she passes the evaluation. The decision was sent today to the candidate and the SCM, the institution responsible for organizing the competition.
The decision on the resumed evaluation will be made public only with the consent of candidate, who has 48 hours to inform the Commission if he agrees or opposes publication of the decision. If no such notification is sent to the Commission, the decision will be published on the Commission’s website, in a depersonalized form, in Romanian and English.
* With the consent of the candidate, the decision on the second resumed evaluation of Judge Ecaterina Buzu was made public on the Commission’s website.
With this decision, the Pre-Vetting Commission completed the resumed evaluation process of all 22 candidates ordered by the Supreme Court of Justice. The resumed evaluations were initiated following the decisions of the SCJ of 1 August 2023, 29 January 2024, and 4 July 2024.
