The 2016 edition of the report European Judicial Systems: Efficiency and Quality of Justice has just been published by the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ).
It evaluates the functioning of judicial systems in 45 Council of Europe Member States as well as in Israel, an observer state, and continues a process carried out since 2002, focusing on main indicators.
Following my post last week about traineeships at the Court of Justice of the European Union, today I want to tell you about paid traineeships of 5 months with executive bodies and agencies of the European Commission, starting on either 1st March or 1st October.
The third edition of the Translating Europe Forum is taking place in Brussels on 27-28 October 2016.
Each year, the Directorate-General for Translation of the European Commission organises one or two days to gather translation stakeholders, discuss topics of common interest and stimulate cooperation across the EU and beyond.
Following last Friday’s post on the release of the EU translation memories, here is another very useful resource for you.
The Directorate-General for Translation at the European Commission has just released an updated version (eighth edition) of its English Style Guide.
In view of the fact that many readers of this blog – for example legal translators, lawyers working internationally, legal interpreters, or lawyer-linguists – are self-employed, I noted with interest a recent review published by the European Commission’s Directorate-General Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion entitled Employment and Social Developments in Europe. There are some very interesting findings on self-employment and entrepreneurship, including significant changes since 2000.
As a reminder, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation and the Joint Research Centre make freely available translation memories which include the European Union’s legislative documents (Acquis Communautaire) in 24 EU languages.
The European Commission is currently looking for translators into English from two source languages, the first one of which must be one of the following: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian or Swedish.
The second source language must be different from the first source language and can be any of the languages mentioned above or French, German, Italian or Spanish.
A compilation, issued by the European Commission, bringing together the core legal texts on euro banknotes and coins has just been published. It is entitled “Economic and Monetary Union – Main Euro Cash Legislation 2014“.
The European Commission has recently published a report on Translation and intellectual property rights.
The law firm Bird & Bird LLP was commissioned for the study, which aims to provide an overview of some of the main intellectual property right issues relevant to the domain of translation, including in the field of machine-aided translations.
Applications are currently being accepted for the European Commission traineeship program, to start in October 2014. The deadline is 3rd February 2014 at noon (UTC/GMT +01:00).
