Regulations and grounds for the degree

The law regarding authorised translators (1231/2007) and the regulation of the Council of State (1232/2007) came into force on 1 January, 2008. They struck down the law 1148/1988 and the regulation (626/1989) regarding official translators. 

The National Board of Education has approved the grounds for the authorised translators’ degree that define the language and translation skills needed in the degree, the skills to function as an authorised translator as well as the way to prove skills and the basic justifications of evaluating a degree.
