Abstract
The Court is composed of seven judges who are appointed with the “common consent” of the governments of the Member States. The Treaties do not specify the nationality of the judges. However, the personnel statutes of the Communities require all civil servants — and the judges are civil servants in a broad sense — to be nationals of the Member States, although exceptions to this rule can be made.1 So far, only nationals of the six Member States have occupied seats on the bench.
