2.1.2.4. An objective and transparent methodology for scoring and determining the results by members of the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine and the High Council of Justice when making decisions in the selection, evaluation, and promotion of judges, as well as for publishing information on the examinations, has been introduced

Problem solving:

2.1.2. Procedures for qualification evaluation of judges and competitive selection procedures need to be improved and clear and predictable criteria (indicators) of integrity and professional ethics should be developed. Integrity and professional ethics as standard requirements for judges are not sufficiently implemented in practice, and the evaluation of conformity to these requirements is not always transparent and predictable
