Hello,
We are having a clear out of old filing cabinets etc. We still have some
old micro fische documentation which we no longer have any way of
reading should we ever have any request.
We wondered if it was of interest to any libraries... museums!! or
anyone.
We will be throwing them out end of this/beginning of next so if they
are of interest to anyone please let us know.

Dear all,
One further bit of case law from the competition field which suggests
that you need to review other languages before relying on a particular
version. The issue in the FEFC case was that the liner shipping
companies had relied on the English version of a Regulation, where the
French and other languages had a different term (adverse to the
companies), but it wasn't at all clear to the commercial parties at the
time that there had been a mistranslation (contrary to what the CFI
maintained!)
Contrary to what the applicants maintain, the fact that the English
version of Regulation No 4056/86 uses the term shippers (chargeurs)
rather than shipping lines (transporteurs maritimes) is irrelevant as
that has clearly arisen only from a translating error. Not only do all
of the other language versions refer, like the French, to maritime
carriers, but the phrase as it appears in the English version scarcely
makes sense and there is no reason why it should appear in a regulation
concerning maritime transport. .

Dear Barbara,
There doesn't seem to be any kind of stated policy on which language
should be used as the basis for drafting, although teh section of the
practical guide you mention does discuss the possible pitfalls in legal
translation. A quick look at the Directive you mention gives exactly the
same pagination (200 pages) and at a cursory look at random passages
shows no great difference, except that French may be less concise in
some areas.
Best wishes
Patrick Overy

Hi All,
I've had a bit of a strange enquiry: how to find out which language a
proposal for a directive was originally drafted in, and whether you can
use this as the basis for justifying which language-version you use from
the OJ?
Apparently one of the annexes to Directive 2006/48/EC is more expansive
in French than in English and the solicitors here would prefer to use
the French version but are wondering if they have to use the English
one.
I've supplied the background documents from the Legislative Observatory,
but this doesn't answer the question. I'm now wondering if I should try
to contact the named person from the Commission from the PreLex record.
But, is this really a moot point as I presume that all language versions
published in the OJ considered equally authentic? I have tried to find
the relevant part of either a Treaty or piece of secondary legislation
stating this but can't find it (probably searching badly).
I've also checked the Joint Practical Guide on the Eur-lex site, section
5.1 of the Multilingualism part states:
5.1. A person drafting a Community act of general application must
always be aware that his text must satisfy the requirements of Council
Regulation No 1, which requires the use of all the official languages in
legal acts.
But I can't find this Regulation. Any help most gratefully received!
Many thanks
Barbara
