Publier un appel d'offres Interpreting for Europe Freelance interpreters routinely work alongside staff interpreters in meetings served by the interpreting services of the European Institutions. For freelance interpreters there is no nationality requirement and all languages may be considered. Accreditation as a freelance interpreter is obtained by passing an inter-institutional interpreting test. To be eligible for such a test, you must comply with the following criteria:

Interpretation The European Parliament has one of the largest interpreting services in the world. Interpreters play an important role in ensuring effective communication in this unique institution which works every day in 24 languages. The original official languages of the European Communities were the four languages of the founding states: German, French, Dutch and Italian. At that time there were 12 possible language combinations. New languages were added with successive enlargements: 1973: English and Danish (plus Irish/Gaelic, but only for Ireland's act of accession and the basic texts), so 4 + 2 = 6 official languages and 30 language combinations. CURIA - Direction générale de la Traduction - Traducteurs free-lance The translation service The institution’s legal translation service, with over 600 lawyer linguists, is responsible for translating the legal documents of the Court of Justice of the European Union. It ensures the smooth and efficient running of the Court’s judicial proceedings and the multilingual dissemination of the Court’s decisions, thus giving all EU citizens access to justice and case-law at a European level, whatever their language. The service translates a wide variety of legal texts which vary according to a range of factors: nature of the case, subject area, document type (procedural documents, opinions of Advocates General, judgments, orders), language, style, length, legal background of the author, etc.

Tenders: Goods or services required Contract Notice: ECB - Provision of general planning services List of notices of invitations to tender, calls for expressions of interest, and calls for proposals In accordance with the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Union, the European Parliament is required to put contracts for the purchase of goods and services out to public tender. Below certain thresholds contracts may be put out to tender under non-public procedures among a limited number of suppliers selected following a call for expressions of interest. Invitations to tender are published regularly in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union (S Series) and can be browsed online on the TED database, which is available free-of-charge and is updated daily.

Working at the General Secretariat Contract staff The GSC employs a limited number of contract agents, selected either from candidates registered in EPSO's CAST database or from reserve lists or databases compiled by other institutions. When looking for contract staff, the GSC's recruitment office contacts candidates whose profiles best match the job profile. We therefore recommend that you keep your CV up-to-date in the database you belong to. Careers with the European Union Job description Working under supervision, proofreaders in the publications office are expected to proofread manuscripts in their native language. This involves preparing manuscripts in terms of style and typography, proofreading printers' proofs, delivering the "passed for press" order, participating in the design of publications, and helping to organise and monitor the production processes involved in publication. Proofreaders (language editors) in the Court of Justice assist in preparing texts to be published in the Court Reports.
