The Venice Commission has come to the conclusion that the law and the draft laws, especially taken together and seen in the context of the 2016 law on the public prosecutor's office, enable the legislative and executive powers to interfere in a severe and extensive manner in the administration of justice, and thereby pose a grave threat to the judicial independence as a key element of the rule of law.

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE RECOMMENDATION
Venecijanska komisija je 8. prosinca 2017., na zahtjev Parlamentarne skupštine Vijeća Europe, donijela mišljenje o nacrtu zakona o Državnom sudbenom vijeću, nacrtu zakona o Vrhovnom sudu i zakona o organizaciji redovnih sudova te mišljenje o zakonu o državnom odvjetništvu.
The present Recommendation complements the Recommendations of 27 July 2016, 21 December 2016 and 26 July 2017.
Venecijanska komisija je zaključila da zakon i nacrti zakona, posebice promatrani kao cjelina i u kontekstu Zakona o državnom odvjetništvu iz 2016., omogućuju da se zakonodavne i izvršne vlasti grubo i opsežno miješaju u sudovanje te time ozbiljno prijete neovisnosti sudstva kao ključnog elementa vladavine prava.

THE THREATS TO JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE
DONIJELA JE OVU PREPORUKU:
The law on the Supreme Court and the law on the National Council for the Judiciary contain a number of provisions which raise grave concerns as regards the principles of judicial independence and separation of powers.
Republika Poljska trebala bi uzeti u obzir analizu Komisije izloženu dalje u tekstu i poduzeti mjere navedene u odjeljku 4. ove Preporuke kako bi se navedeni razlozi za zabrinutost uklonili u utvrđenom roku.
The Supreme Court
PODRUČJE PRIMJENE I CILJ PREPORUKE
Dismissal and compulsory retirement of current Supreme Court judges
Ovom se Preporukom dopunjuju preporuke od 27. srpnja 2016., 21. prosinca 2016. i 26. srpnja 2017.
The law on the Supreme Court lowers the general retirement age of Supreme Court judges from 70 to 65.
Zakon o Vrhovnom sudu koji je Sejm donio 8. prosinca 2017.;
This measure applies to all judges currently in office.
Zakon o izmjeni Zakona o Državnom sudbenom vijeću i određenih drugih zakona („Zakon o Državnom sudbenom vijeću”) koji je Sejm donio 8. prosinca 2017.
Judges who attained 65 years of age, or will attain that age within 3 months from the entry into force of the law, will be retired.
Zabrinutosti i preporučene mjere iz Preporuke od 26. srpnja 2017. koje se odnose na Ustavni sud, Zakon o organizaciji redovnih sudova i Zakon o Državnom sudbenom vijeću i dalje su na snazi.
By lowering the retirement age and applying it to current Supreme Court judges, the law terminates the mandate and potentially retires a significant number of current Supreme Court judges: 31 of the 83 (37 %) according to the Supreme Court.
PRIJETNJE NEOVISNOSTI SUDSTVA
Applying such a lowered retirement age to current judges of the Supreme Court has a particular strong negative impact on this specific Court, which is composed of judges who are by nature at the end of their career.
Zakon o Vrhovnom sudu i Zakon o Državnom sudbenom vijeću sadržavaju niz odredaba koje su razlog za ozbiljnu zabrinutost kada je riječ o načelima neovisnosti sudstva i diobe vlasti.
Such compulsory retirement of a significant number of the current Supreme Court judges allows for a far reaching and immediate recomposition of the Supreme Court.
Vrhovni sud
That possibility raises particular concerns in relation to the separation of powers, in particular when considered in combination with the simultaneous reforms of the National Council for the Judiciary.
Razrješenje i prisilno umirovljenje sadašnjih sudaca Vrhovnog suda
In fact: due to the lowering of the retirement age all new judges will be appointed by the President of the Republic on the recommendation of the newly composed National Council for the Judiciary, which will be largely dominated by the political appointees.
Zakonom o Vrhovnom sudu snizuje se osnovna dob za umirovljenje sudaca Vrhovnog suda sa 70 na 65 godina.
A forced retirement of current Supreme Court judges also raises concerns as regards the principle of irremovability of judges, which is a key element of the independence of judges as enshrined in the case law of the Court of Justice and of the European Court of Human Rights, and in European standards.
Ta se mjera odnosi na sve suce koji su trenutačno na dužnosti.
In its opinion on the draft law on the Supreme Court, the Venice Commission underlines that the early retirement of the currently sitting judges undermines both their security of tenure and the independence of the Court in general .
Suci koji su navršili 65 godina, ili će navršiti u roku od 3 mjeseca od stupanja na snagu tog zakona, bit će umirovljeni.
Judges should be protected against dismissal through the existence of effective safeguards against undue intervention or pressure from other State powers.
Snižavanjem dobi za umirovljenje i primjenom te mjere na sadašnje suce Vrhovnog suda, zakonom se okončava mandat i potencijalno umirovljuje znatan broj sudaca Vrhovnog suda; 31 od 83 (37 %) prema Vrhovnom sudu.
Judicial independence requires guarantees sufficient to protect the person of those who have the task of adjudicating in a dispute.
Primjena tako snižene dobi za umirovljenje sudaca Vrhovnog suda izrazito negativno utječe na taj sud, koji se sastoji od sudaca koji su po prirodi na zalasku karijere.
The irremovability of judges during their term of office is a consequence of their independence and thus included in the guarantees of Article 6(1) ECHR.
Takvim prisilnim umirovljenjem velikog broja sadašnjih sudaca Vrhovnog suda omogućuje se dalekosežno i trenutačno preoblikovanje Vrhovnog suda.
As a consequence, judges must only be dismissed individually, if this is justified on the basis of a disciplinary procedure concerning their individual activity and presenting all guarantees for the defence in a democratic society.
Ta mogućnost izaziva posebnu zabrinutost u pogledu diobe vlasti, osobito kada se razmatra zajedno s istodobnim reformama Državnog sudbenog vijeća.
Judges cannot be dismissed as a group and judges cannot be dismissed for general reasons not related to individual behaviour.
Naime: zbog snižavanja dobi za umirovljenje predsjednik Republike imenovat će sve nove suce na preporuku novoosnovanog Državnog sudbenog vijeća, u kojem će u velikoj mjeri prevladavati članovi imenovani na političkoj osnovi.
The above guarantees and safeguards are lacking in the present case and the provisions concerned constitute a flagrant violation of the independence of judges of the Supreme Court and of the separation of powers, and therefore of the rule of law.
Isto tako, prisilno umirovljenje sadašnjih sudaca Vrhovnog suda izaziva zabrinutost u pogledu načela nesmjenjivosti sudaca, koje je ključni element neovisnosti sudaca zaštićene u sudskoj praksi Suda Europske unije i Europskog suda za ljudska prava te u europskim standardima.
In addition, the mandate of six years of the current First President, established in the constitution, will be prematurely terminated (constitutionally it should end in 2020).
U svojem mišljenju o nacrtu zakona o Vrhovnom sudu Venecijanska komisija naglašava da rano umirovljenje sudaca koji su trenutačno na dužnosti narušava sigurnost trajanja njihova mandata i neovisnost Suda općenito .
If the mandate of the First President is terminated, the appointment of an ‘acting First President’ by the President of the Republic will occur outside the normal procedure: according to the constitution the First President should be appointed by the President of the Republic from among candidates proposed by the general assembly of the Supreme Court .
Suce bi trebalo zaštititi od razrješenja učinkovitim mehanizmima zaštite od neprimjerenog uplitanja ili pritiska ostalih tijela državnih vlasti.
Such a premature termination of a constitutionally enshrined mandate constitutes a serious violation of the principle of irremovability and security of tenure.
Za osiguranje neovisnosti sudstva potrebna su jamstva koja su dovoljna da bi se osobu zaštitilo od onih čija je zadaća donijeti presudu u sporu.
The appointment of an acting First President according to an ad hoc procedure without involvement of the judiciary raises serious concerns as regards the principle of separation of powers.
Nesmjenjivost sudaca tijekom njihova mandata posljedica je njihove neovisnosti te je stoga uključena u jamstva iz članka 6. stavka 1.
According to the explanatory memorandum of the law, the recomposition of the Supreme Court is indispensable because of the way the Supreme Court handled after 1989 the ‘decommunisation’ cases and because there are still judges in the Court who either worked for, or adjudicated under, the previous regime.
Europske konvencije o ljudskim pravima.
The European Court of Human Rights has clearly underlined that a lustration process must be individualised (e.g. distinctions must be made between different levels of involvement with the former regime) and considers that lustration measures taking place long after the end of the communist regime may be less justified in view of the diminishing risks existing over newly created democracies.
Zbog toga se suce smije razrješavati samo pojedinačno ako je to opravdano stegovnim postupkom povezanim s njihovim pojedinačnim djelovanjem te uz davanje svih jamstava za mogućnost obrane u demokratskom društvu.
There are other proportionate measures which the state could adopt in order to deal with individual judges having a communist background (which would include transparent proceedings applied in individual cases before impartial organs acting on the basis of criteria pre-established by law).
Suce se ne smije razriješiti kao skupinu te ih se ne smije razriješiti zbog općenitih razloga koji nisu povezani s ponašanjem pojedinca.
In its opinion on the draft law on the Supreme Court, the Venice Commission considers that it is hard to see why a person who was deemed fit to perform official duties for several more years to come would suddenly be considered unfit.
Navedena jamstva i mehanizmi zaštite u ovom slučaju ne postoje i predmetne odredbe znače očiglednu povredu neovisnosti sudaca Vrhovnog suda i načela diobe vlasti te, prema tome, vladavine prava.
The explanatory memorandum of the law may be understood as implying that, as a result of the reform, most senior judges, many of whom have served under the previous regime, would retire.
Uz to, šestogodišnji mandat trenutačnog prvog predsjednika, utvrđen Ustavom, bit će prijevremeno okončan (prema Ustavu trebao bi se okončati 2020.).
If this reading is correct, such approach is unacceptable: if the authorities doubt the loyalty of individual judges, they should apply the existing disciplinary or lustration procedures, and not change the retirement age.
U slučaju okončanja mandata prvog predsjednika, imenovanje vršitelja dužnosti prvog predsjednika od strane predsjednika Republike izvršit će se izvan okvira uobičajenog postupka: prema Ustavu prvog predsjednika treba imenovati predsjednik Republike iz redova kandidata koje predlaže Glavna skupština Vrhovnog suda .
The Venice Commission concludes that the early removal of a large number of justices of the Supreme Court (including the First President) by applying to them, with immediate effect, a lower retirement age violates their individual rights and jeopardises the independence of the judiciary as a whole; they should be allowed to serve until the currently existing retirement age.
Takvo prijevremeno okončanje ustavom zajamčenog mandata teško je kršenje načela nesmjenjivosti i sigurnosti trajanja mandata.
