Abstract
"Multicultural states" base their proper function on the provision of services that overcome language barriers and ensure access to state services for all citizens. The provision of interpretation in public services is an integral part of the multicultural state's mechanism. This paper presents two different systems for the appointment of court interpreters, in Greece and Sweden respectively. First, the analysis sheds light on the legislation of the Greek state concerning the right of access to court interpreters and the regulations that apply to the appointment of interpreters. Furthermore, the paper explores the role of the European treaties (Schengen and ECHR) in the formulation of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the fundamental European Directive 2010/64/EU on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings, which is a milestone in ensuring the quality criterion in the provision of court interpreting services. The implementation of the Directive and the formulation of the Code of Criminal Procedure constitute the institutional framework for the provision of interpretation services in Greece, which are critically analyzed based on the operation procedures of Greek courts concerning the appointment of interpreters. Similarly, the analysis includes a presentation of the Swedish legislative framework shaped after successive governmental investigations in Sweden. The paper centers on examining the investigations and legislative efforts undertaken by the Swedish government since immigration concerns and immigrant rights gained prominence. Finally, it provides a thorough examination of Sweden's model for appointing court interpreters, followed by a comparative analysis of the findings from both systems.
