The Court of Justice is committed to making the best possible use of new technologies. It also expects its external contractors to continue to optimise the quality of their services, their methods of working and their overall efficiency, thus making it possible to reduce their prices as they improve their productivity. By way of illustration, the price paid to freelance translators in 2024 for all the lots in this contract was 39.61 euros. The Court expects to receive tenders under this new public contract whose prices take full account of the major technological advances of recent years, and therefore offer a better price-quality ratio. Criteria - Professional capacity: Each candidate (‘natural person’) and each natural person engaged in the provision of the services in question must have achieved the following minimum levels of professional capacity: All lots: • have successfully completed a university course in law (that is, hold a degree in law or its equivalent awarded in Ireland, in Malta, or, with respect to courses in the United Kingdom only, to have completed that course prior to 31 December 2020), or, • have qualified as a barrister, advocate or solicitor in Ireland, in Malta, or, with respect to qualifications obtained in the United Kingdom only, to have obtained that qualification prior to 31 December 2020; or • have both a university degree in any discipline from an English-language university (or its equivalent) and at least 2 years' experience as a translator of legal texts into English; • perfect command of English; • perfect command of English legal terminology; and • have a thorough knowledge of the source language (per lot).
