Abstract

The present chapter seeks to explore EU Competition Law concepts and terms, such as exploitative abuses, concerted practice, vertical agreements, leniency, and undertaking, in English, Greek, Italian and Spanish. It draws on the analysis of a multilingual parallel corpus of EU Competition legislation and aims to investigate the strategies used for the formation of terms and their translation under the light of EU Law autonomy and uniform interpretation and the EU’s policy of multilingualism. In so doing, it also aspires to establish whether the sought-after unified deterritorialised and hybrid legal culture in the EU can actually exist.

An interpretation of a provision of Community law thus involves a comparison of the different language versions. It must also be borne in mind, even where the different language versions are entirely in accord with one another, that Community law uses terminology which is peculiar to it. Furthermore, it must be emphasized that legal concepts do not necessarily have the same meaning in Community law and in the law of the various Member States. Finally, every provision of Community law must be placed in its context and interpreted in the light of the provisions of Community law as a whole, regard being had to the objectives thereof and to its state of evolution at the date on which the provision in question is to be applied”.

In the words of the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission, the EU Competition Law’s aim is “to provide everyone in Europe with better quality goods and services at lower prices. Competition policy is about applying rules to make sure companies compete fairly with each other. This encourages enterprise and efficiency, creates a wider choice for consumers and helps reduce prices and improve quality. These are the reasons why the EU fights anticompetitive behaviour, reviews mergers and state aid and encourages liberalisation”.

In light of the importance of meaning for legal translation in the EU context, it has been claimed that comparative law and translation theories may not be the most relevant theories to apply, cf. Kjær (2015), p. 92; terminological approaches have been shown to be more appropriate since they place meaning at the forefront and address the issue of conceptualisation, cf. Bajčić (2017), p. 129.

According to Picht and Draskau (1985), p. 96 a concept is commonly defined as an element of thought, a mental construct that represents a class of objects. Concepts consist of a series of characteristics that are shared by a class of individual objects; these characteristics, which are also concepts, allow human beings to structure thought and to communicate. In order to communicate concepts and their supporting propositions, speakers use written or oral linguistic signs made up of a term or group of terms, or some other type of symbols. A distinction between words and terms is made by Sager et al. who claim that “The items which are characterised by special reference within a discipline are the ‘terms’ of that discipline and collectively they form its ‘terminology’” (p. 75).
 
47
According to Picht and Draskau (1985), p. 3 an LSP is a “formalised and codified variety of language, used for special purposes in a legitimate context – that is to say, with the function of communicating information of a specialist nature at any level – at the highest level of complexity, between initiate experts, and, at lower levels of complexity, with the aim of informing or initiating other interested parties, in the most economic, precise and unambiguous terms possible”. LGP, on the other hand, is a general reservoir on which the LSPs of the various special areas draw.

ISO 704:2009, Terminology Work: Principles and Methods (2009). ISO 704 is a standard that was produced by Subcommittee SC1 of the ISO Technical Committee (TC) 37. It “establishes the basic principles and methods for preparing and compiling terminologies both inside and outside the framework of standardization, and describes the links between objects, concepts, and their terminological representations. It also establishes general principles governing the formation of designations and the formulation of definitions. Full and complete understanding of these principles requires some background knowledge of terminology work. The principles are general in nature and this document is applicable to terminology work in scientific, technological, industrial, administrative and other fields of knowledge” (2009), p. v.

A distinction between corpus-based and corpus-driven language study was introduced by Tognini-Bonelli (2001), pp. 84–85 who notes that corpus-based studies typically use corpus data in order to explore a theory or hypothesis, with the aim to validate it, refute it or refine it, while corpus-driven studies use the corpus as the sole source of a given hypothesis about language. A corpus-based approach is used in this study, since an assumption is made about the formation and translation strategies of terms on the basis of the existing bibliography which claims that the use of literal equivalents is preferred when translating EU legal texts.
 
70
Several types of multilingual corpora can be distinguished. Unfortunately, the terminology used to describe the different types is inconsistent and confusing, cf. Baker (1995, 1999), Hartmann (1996), Johansson (1998). For the purposes of this study, we use the typology and terminology put forward by McEnery and Hardie (2012) who distinguish between multilingual comparable corpora and multilingual parallel corpora. They define a comparable corpus as one which contains components in two or more languages that have been collected using the same sampling method—but are not translations of each other—, while they define a parallel corpus as one which contains source texts and their translations. Although, as pointed out in 10.1, in theory there is no ST and no TT, in practical terms approximately 95% of the legislation adopted in the co-decision procedure is drafted in English, cf. Dragone (2006), p. 100. The English version is, therefore, used as the ST in almost 95% of the cases.
