August 27, 2025
Judge Doria Varosiotou filed a request with the Supreme Constitutional Court to refer questions to the Court of the European Union. She seeks clarification on whether the termination of her services violates the principles of independence and life tenure for judges. The application raises legal concerns regarding the lack of national legislation for a probation period for judges. Additionally, she requests a suspension of the proceedings until the EU Court issues a decision. The judge emphasizes the importance of uniform application of EU Law.
