The European Parliament produces translations of written documents in all 24 EU languages, enabling communication with its citizens in their mother tongue. Its in-house translation service is instrumental in this respect, meeting strict quality standards within the tight deadlines imposed by parliamentary procedures.

Our mission:

• to make available in all official languages documents relating to Parliament's role as co-legislator and as one of the two arms of the budgetary authority, in order to ensure the legitimacy and transparency of the legislative and budgetary process of the European Union;
• to enable the European Parliament to meet its commitment to the policy of multilingualism, designed to ensure the equal treatment of languages, which enables all citizens of the European Union to communicate with the institutions and access EU documents in their own language;
• to ensure that these translation services are supplied as efficiently and effectively as possible.
