<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Over the past few months COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the lives of EU citizens affected by the restrictions imposed on them in order to control the health emergency.The legal sector has been affected by this, too, not only through the suspension of business in civil, criminal and administrative matters, but also because of delays and difficulties relating to selection procedures for access to legal careers.In Italy, some 20 000 trainee lawyers have sat the written examination for access to the profession, but in view of the decree which halted the marking of the exams, they are now waiting to hear whether and when they will be able to sit the oral test.Trainees’ associations have thus put forward a proposal whereby all those who have sat the written tests should be admitted to the oral tests. They argue that this could be an opportunity in which to discuss their written test – even ‘remotely’ – without going beyond the initial deadline for applications to take part in the subsequent session.Given that similar problems are affecting other EU countries, too, and that thousands of young Europeans are thus having their access to the employment market slowed down, will the Commission take action to ensure that procedures for access to the legal profession are harmonised among all Member States, while guaranteeing that the time frames for the marking and holding of these qualifying exams are short and offer certainty?"
