The International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC) has issued this important press release. For updates on the situation see their website and twitter.  

The International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC) prides itself on being a diligent social partner with the EU Institutions where it has had Collective Agreements for over half a century, which ensure the high-quality interpretation needed by the European Institutions and offer legal certainty to both parties. The AIIC Delegations for the EU Sector deplore the unilateral decision by the European Parliament to outsource interpretation for one of its Committee meetings on 27 June 2022 – the very day that interpreters were supposed to initiate strike actions.
