EUROCONTROL<br />

EUROCONTROL, the European<br />

Organisation for the Safety of<br />

Air Navigation, is a civil-military<br />

intergovernmental organisation with<br />

38 Member States across the European<br />

continent as well as the European<br />

Community. Its primary objective is<br />

the development of a seamless pan-<br />

European air traffic management (ATM)<br />

system.<br />

The Agency, EUROCONTROL’s executive<br />

body, is organised in several business<br />

units in seven European cities and its<br />

Headquarters is based in Brussels.<br />

Up to 12 languages are used in<br />

EUROCONTROL’s governing bodies<br />

and in some of the main consultative<br />

groups.<br />

These are: English, French, German,<br />

Dutch, Portuguese, Greek, Turkish,<br />

Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish<br />

and Italian. The official languages of the<br />

EUROCONTROL Organisation are all the<br />

languages of its Member States while<br />

the working languages of the Agency<br />

are English and French.<br />

EUROCONTROL has six staff interpreters<br />

and recruits up to 500 freelance<br />

interpreter/days per year. All together<br />

they provide 660 interpreter/days per<br />

year for its bilingual and multilingual<br />

meetings.<br />
