7pm, 27th November, 2009, at ESIT (Room 7), Centre Universitaire Dauphine (2nd floor), Place du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny, 75016 Paris
The Council of Europe is Europe's Human Rights' watchdog and is based in Strasbourg. Its two official languages are French and English, but it also has German, Italian, Russian and occasionnally Spanish as working languages.
The Council of Europe is a big recruiter of bi-active English-French freelancers (7000 interpreter-days per year) and often from the Paris market. It also turns to Paris for its multi-lingual interpreters for its many Parliamentary Committee meetings in Paris or elsewhere.
The Council of Europe will be represented by Sally Bailey-Ravet, the organisation's Head Interpreter. She will be happy to speak about the varied work of the CoE and the requirements and procedures for freelance interpreters.
Please confirm your intention to attend by Saturday 14th November by e-mail to
