Summary/Abstract: Globalization is a great challenge, especially for interpreters. Unfortunately, the European Union still lacks sufficient standardization in the area of interpreting. This, in many countries, results in market self-regulation, which leads to abnormalities. The author gives examples of some shameful absurdities, while seeking answers to the questions about the characteristics of a good interpreter.
