The Alpine Convention is an international Treaty between Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovenia, Switzerland and the European Union with the objective to pursue a common policy of protection and sustainable development of the Alps. It consists of a framework Convention and nine protocols, covering the subjects of spatial planning, nature protection, mountain farming and mountain forests, soil protection, energy, tourism and transport. Info: www.alpconv.org. The official languages of the Alpine Convention are English, French, German, Italian and Slovene. Exceptionally, interpretation or translation from or to other languages (e.g. Spanish) is also necessary. The official meetings of the bodies of the Convention require simultaneous interpretation from and to languages of the Convention. Consecutive interpretation is used on informal meetings. A substantial number of documents is required to be translated.
