In a room full of books, I look for... the Interinstitutional Style Guide! The Interinstitutional Style Guide is the common reference used across all EU institutions to ensure that communication is consistent, accurate and accessible in all 24 official languages. It defines how terminology is used, how information is structured and how linguistic conventions are applied - from legislative texts to public communication. This consistency also matters for citizens! Clear and reliable communication strengthens transparency and ensures that everyone can easily understand information. Citizens, students, journalists and professionals can consult it to check: • The correct spelling of countries, capitals and geographic names • Official titles of EU institutions, bodies and agencies • Preferred terminology for EU policies, legal concepts and technical fields • Conventions for dates, numbers, currencies and measurements • Standardised forms of frequently used expressions Take a look at the Interinstitutional Style Guide now! https://lnkd.in/dpUUD_RD

Did you know that the European Protection Order (EPO) helps ensure that victims of gender-based and other serious violence remain protected when they travel or move across EU Member States? If a person has a protection measure in a EU Member State, the EPO allows that protection to follow them, safeguarding their life, dignity, liberty, and physical, psychological or sexual integrity. This cross-border mechanism works alongside Regulation (EU) No 606/2013, enabling protection orders to be recognised between Member States. Why it matters: 🤝 The EPO is often vital in cases of domestic violence, harassment or stalking 🤝 Judicial authorities and support services cooperate to make sure victims continue to feel safe and supported 🤝 Yet awareness of the EPO remains limited, meaning many who could benefit don’t know it exists. As mobility across Europe grows, so does the need to ensure that safety moves with people. Read more on https://lnkd.in/ecZqTG5c
