Explanatory note

European countries have a wide latitude when determining the period of probation which may range from 3 years (Hungary) to 5 years (Bulgaria). The latter is the case in a developed democracy like Germany. A reduction of the probation period will result in the reduction of appraisals and increases the risk of arbitrary and biased decisions.
