Summary, in English

This essay concerns errors in translation of legal texts within the European Union and how these errors affect community law and in turn the different Member States within the Union. The essay describes translation within the Union and continues on to specify four different categories of errors which occur in union translation. Examples from each category are presented and discussed from an equivalence perspective. Finally there is a discussion about the ramifications of the European Union’s guidelines on translation in combination with the translation errors.
