Practical guide on interpretation in the asylum procedure

The mission of the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) is to facilitate and support the activities of EU Member States and other Schengen countries (EU+ countries) in the implementation of the Common European Asylum System. In accordance with the EUAA’s overall aim of promoting the correct and effective implementation of the system and of enabling convergence, it develops common operational standards and indicators, guidelines and practical tools. The Intergovernmental Consultations on Migration, Asylum and Refugees (IGC) is a state-led, multidisciplinary, interregional consultative process. It facilitates informal information exchange, policy debates and cooperation among its 19 participating states on recent trends in international migration and emerging policy and operational challenges across the migration continuum, including procedures on interpreting in the asylum context. Jointly developed by the EUAA and the IGC, this guide combines the wealth of expertise of both the EUAA Asylum Processes Network and the IGC transatlantic network of interpreting experts.
