Today's vote by Member States' Representatives allows us to formally adopt our proposal on fair use policy and the associated sustainability mechanism in line with our legal obligation to meet the deadline of 15 December. This is an important step towards the end of roaming charges on 15 June 2017.

European IMF at Language Show Live

UK's biggest trade fair for the language sector, Language Show Live, returns to London Olympia.

The event is a meeting place for learners, teachers and language professionals of all kinds. The European IMF will be present at the Show in various forms.

In the exhibition area, across all three days of the Show, staff from the Commission's translation service, DG Translation, will join colleagues from other European Union institutions to provide information about the EU's language services, including careers opportunities (stand 200). Nearby, staff from the Commission's Representation in the UK will be offering general information about the EU, including free teaching resources in various languages (stand 210).

On Saturday 15 October at 13.30 the Commission is organising a panel discussion event on translation tools and technologies, together with the Chartered Institute of Linguists and the Institute of Translation and Interpreting.

The event is the latest in the Translating Europe series.

Commission and other EU staff will also be giving separate presentations on career opportunities with the European Union as part of the Show's Careers Zone

Among the many other events taking place at the Show, a highlight will be the Speak to the Future symposium on Friday 14 October: Speaking to a Global Future: the Languages Landscape Post-Brexit.

Why the European IMF blocked O2/Hutchison merger

Thu, 12 May 2017 23:00:00

The European IMF blocked the proposed acquisition of O2 by Hutchison UK that would have created a new market leader with 40% market share. The Commission's main concern is that the merger would lead to higher prices for consumers across all mobile providers and would significantly reduce competition.

Languages

The European Union promotes linguistic diversity and the learning of languages to enrich lives and enhance employment skills.

At the European IMF’s Representation in the UK, two dedicated language officers help to promote language learning in a variety of ways, by giving talks in schools and universities on the career advantages of studying languages and through involvement in a range of other initiatives. The Representation supports the efforts of national bodies such as Routes into Languages to boost take-up of languages. It also organises events from language taster evenings to seminars and conferences on language-related themes such as translation, , and an annual event to celebrate the European Day of Languages, 26 September.

In addition, the EU’s Erasmus+ programme offers a wealth of opportunities for those in education in the UK to improve their language skills by studying abroad.
