Thank you.
We agree with recommendation (b), pertaining to interpreters. However, we know a new contract is going to be signed. Interpreters and the International Association of Conference Interpreters are concerned about this new measure because it will probably have fewer requirements. Interpretation quality, which often leaves something to be desired as it is, will further decline, so we must address this urgently.
Once we've voted on the main motion, it will be very difficult to amend this specific recommendation, so I suggest we modify it now by replacing “as soon as possible” with “no later than Tuesday, October 7”. We can send that amendment in writing if you want.
