The EU institutions are looking for highly qualified Danish (DA), German (DE), English (EN), Estonian (ET), Croatian (HR), Dutch (NL), Romanian (RO), Slovenian (SL) language lawyer-linguists/legal revisers. Recruited officials (grade AD 7) will work at the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union or the European Commission. This notice covers eight competitions. A candidate may only apply for one of them.

As a lawyer-linguist/legal reviser, you must be able to revise translations of EU legal texts into the language of the competition from at least two other languages and to provide advice on legislative drafting in order to ensure the quality of drafting of EU legal acts.

As a lawyer-linguist (at the European Parliament and the Council), you may be asked to provide procedural, drafting, and legal advice; to draft, and check the drafting of, amendments to proposals for legislative acts; and to check the legal and linguistic consistency of legislative texts (already translated) in the language of the competition with other language versions of the texts.

As a legal reviser (at the European Commission), you will provide legal advice to the Commission and its services on legislative drafting during the development of legislative proposals and Commission acts. You will also check the legal and linguistic consistency of legislative proposals and Commission acts (already translated and revised) in the language of the competition with other language versions of the texts.
