I write to you on behalf of a partnership of Italian public institutions comprising: the Italian University of Naples "Parthenope", who has an ongoing agreement with the Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura (the High Council of Judges and Prosecutors of Italy), to develop a proposal for this assignment. We contact you in regard to a potential cooperation opportunity within an EU-funded project in Armenia. The EU Delegation to Armenia has recently published a call for proposal, open to national administrations and public bodies of EU Member States, to implement a technical assistance project titled "Consolidation of the Justice System in Armenia" with the following specific objectives: Support the implementation of the Strategy on Judicial and Legal Reforms 2019-2024 through improving the independence, transparency, quality, management, efficiency and effectiveness of the Armenian judiciary, including courts, the Academy of Justice and of the Prosecution systems. To improve the legislation related to civil and administrative justice to assist in de-blocking the system through increase in alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, adequate court fee structures and rules for admissibility of cases in first instance and for appeals. To improve the planning, budgeting, case management, analytical and statistical, organizational and HR management capacities (including strategy implementation and monitoring capacities) of the MOJ, the Supreme Judicial Council (and its Judicial Department), penitentiary and probation systems, the Prosecution and training institutions in order to improve efficiency and transparency of the systems. I attach to this e-mail the "guidelines" of the call for proposal for your most complete information. Also please notice that further information on the call is available at the following link: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/europeaid/online-services/index.cfm?ADSSChck=1568290584234&do=publi.detPUB&searchtype=AS&zgeo=35358&debpub=&orderby=upd&orderbyad=Desc&nbPubliList=15&page=1&aoref=165867 We believe that the contribution of a public institution from another Member State would be crucial to assure the completeness and competitiveness of our proposal, in order to present different potential models to the beneficiary institutions in Armenia. In this sense, we would like to have the Estonia Supreme Court join us in order to develop a joint proposal. At this stage, we are asked to propose a simple concept note by Monday 30rd of September. In this sense, there is not much administrative or technical administration to be prepared. However, given the strict deadline, we would appreciate to receive your feedback as soon as possible in order to be able to proceed to the submission. I remain available for any further information and/or clarification you may need. Please feel free to write or call me (my contact information are below). Thank you very much for your kind consideration. I look forward to receive your feedback soon.
