Sometimes pre-Christmas ordering of papers yields unexpected results ... I just came across "Convention fixant les conditions de travail et le regime pecuniaire des interpreters ...". So, here it goes:
- experienced interpreter - daily rate: 1/20 of a monthly salary for LA4 group of officials, bracket 5.
- inexperienced (no definition ...) - 72% of that.
Plus an extra for working outside your normal place of business, i.e. >60 km away (if applicable)

Plus an extra for working outside your normal place of business, i.e. >60 km away (if applicable)
Plus board, if necessary, plus travel cost reimbursement against tickets.
Plus you pay the EU tax of 15% and are exempted from the national tax.
And you get 50% of a single day rate if you are not needed after all.
The above is a summary of just a mere 14 pages of the French text. Wonder if any free-lancer has ever read it in full

I was so far - though I still don´t know how much it is.
I cannot pay in % in our shops - we need Euros...
Merry Christmas

You may want to see this chart:
http://www.eu-careers.com/workingfortheeu.htm
A principal translator/interpreter is an A4 - A5 equivalent.
LA3 corresponds to a Head of Translation or Interpretation Unit.
The salary for an interpreter is +3800 euro per month, plus benefits. Now, freelancers may end up making more. Let us not forget that interpreters/translators may be able to pay the 15% EU tax and then be waived of their country tax.
You may want to contact Peter Javorcík. He is in the Cabinet of the Commissioner and is a mmeber of the DG Interpreting: [email protected] Since he deals with students progrmas (Erasmus), I am sure he could be of help.
Cheers,

| LA grades no longer exist... | Dec 13, 2005 |
Just to complicate things, the LA grades for linguists have been abolished within the EU, and the entire grading system has been overhauled.
Until 30 April 2006, a temporary "transitional" grading system has been set up, with translators and interpreters falling within the general "A*" administrator category. As of 1 May 2006, A* grades will become "AD" grades. It's complicated, as the numbering system for the grades has also changed.

I think Iza gave you the best explanation of the current pay scale - if you want to read the whole document in French you can find it here:
