The Members of the European Parliament are mostly experienced politicians but they tend to have experience of the national parliaments which are very different from the EP in that they use 1 language. Here, in order to be understood, you have to make use of interpreters and that demands a certain amount of a different discipline. Interpreting is not oral translation.

Hi,
great to hear that you are interested in a career as a conference interpreter. Have a look at the EMCI (European Masters in Conference Interpreting) website for more information about training possibilities.
