Evaluation of interpreters - Parliament

Opinion of 5 December 2008 on a notification for prior checking concerning the evaluation of interpreters (Case 2008-578)

The present case deals with the ad hoc evaluation of interpreters at the EP during a given period of time to ensure the quality of the service. The data processing operations are carried out by personnel of the Interpretation Directorate. In his opinion, the EDPS concluded that the EP has substantially followed all the principles of the Regulation. Nevertheless the EDPS recommended, among others, that the EP:

  • sets up a procedure to enable interpreters to access QCF by requesting a copy from the data controller (or his/her delegate);
  • provides to interpreters the information suggested in the Opinion;
  • raises awareness among reporting officers regarding the need to ensure the confidentiality of the information.
