Welcomes that the code of conduct also provides for an organisational framework for its application, namely an ethics committee that shall consider any ethics matter it deems relevant to the standards laid down in the code of conduct and to its reputation; welcomes that the ethics committee is assisted by the legal service of the Court as that measure will help to avoid any legal risks related to its decisions; notes that according to the current rules of procedure of the Court, the members of the ethics committee are appointed by the Court on the basis of a proposal from the president; recalls, as indicated in the Court’s Special Report 13/2019 on the ethical frameworks of the audited EU institutions, that the composition of ethical committees may have an impact on the perceived objectivity and independence and thus, urgently calls on the Court to reconsider the rules for appointment and composition of the ethics committee and suggests, following the Commission’s Independent Ethical Committee, that the members of the ethics committee be external persons selected for their competence, experience, independence and professional qualities, in addition to no longer be appointed on a proposal from the president of the Court;
