What is the Commission?

The Commission for Efficiency of Enforcement Procedures– shortly CPEE – is an independent body that started its activity on 31st March of 2009, which main goals are:

  • The emission of recommendations towards the efficiency of enforcement procedures and the training of Enforcement Agents (independent professionals working as bailiffs);
  • Increase the quality of training of Enforcement Agents, promoting high level of rigor and quality in the access, admission and evaluation of the enforcement agents trainees;
  • Ensure the required discipline of enforcement agents through the initiation of disciplinary proceedings and the application of proper penalties to the enforcement agents to all faults occurred after 31/03/2009, and the performance of regular inspections to enforcement agents.

Efficacy measures the relation between obtained results and expected results. In an enforcement procedure it is expected to satisfy the rights of the plaintiff (as a rule of thumb, debt payment) in a reasonable time frame, wasting only the required time to concretize the citizen rights (speed) and thus obtain the desired effect, in the most economical way (Efficiency).

These are the supporting foundations of enforcement procedures: speed and efficiency.

As such, CPEE will be driven by the following guidelines:

1. Efficiency: The enforcement procedure must be simple, uncomplicated and nonbureaucratic especially through the dematerialization of the process and of the communications expediency between all parties involved.

2. Speed: The enforcement procedure must be as fast as possible, from the moment the pleading is presented until the completion of mentioned process, bearing in mind a balance between the rights of the plaintiff and the respondent.

3. Electronic Enforcement Procedure: 21st century enforcement procedure is based on a paper free policy: a modern, transparent and fast process.

4. Paper free acts performed by judicial operators: Judges, attorneys (lawyers, trainee-lawyers, solicitors) and enforcement agents work on an electronic platform facilitating communications among themselves.

5. Transparency: The electronic record of all actions taken ensures a complete and clear view of the entire enforcement procedure thus enabling to identify all blockades to the process and trigger their resolution.

6. Legality, ethics and deontology: The enforcement agent must comply with the rigorous application of the Law and with deontological aspects related to his actions. CPEE will guarantee public interest thorough regular inspections to the enforcement agents and simultaneously through the initiation of disciplinary proceedings if deemed necessary or in sequence of denounced illegal enforcement procedure against  the responsible enforcement agent. In case proven unlawful or even criminal practice, CPEE will present the situation to the injured part and to the competent authorities.
