The judgment provides an opportunity to reflect on the complex relationship between the different stages of the appointment procedure to rule out legitimate doubts as to its regularity and, consequently, as to the independence of the judges so appointed. Although not immediately obvious, the arguments and solutions adopted inappropriately entrust the “255 Committee” with a central role in ensuring the integrity and correctness of the overall procedure and its individual stages. |
