A code of ethics regulates the conduct of a group of people with specific professional, scientific or educational characteristics, with respect to their appointment in a specific post or position for a certain period of time etc., or a specific procedure. The basic principles included in all codes of ethics for public service interpreters, i.e. confidentiality, accuracy, impartiality, avoidance of conflict of interests, CPD, accountability, role definition, solidarity among colleagues and work conditions (Hale 2007), draw inspiration upon the codes of ethics of conference interpreters, among which the Code of Professional Ethics of the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC) plays a major role. The main concern of the codes of ethics for interpreters is to guarantee quality, professional ethics and work conditions of interpreters in a fast-changing world in order to protect the interpreters’ health and well-being. However, how important does that viewpoint sound to a public employee or a civil servant, who is mainly concerned with the respect of rules and compliance with the law? How easy is it to convince the authorities involved in public service interpreting to adopt a code of ethics laying too much emphasis on the interpreter’s figure, especially keeping in mind authorities tend to consider interpreters a necessary evil? Following the study of several codes of ethics of both conference and public service interpreters’ associations, a review of the codes of ethics for public service interpreters is proposed moving the focus from the interpreters to the procedure and taking into account all participants: public employees/civil servants, beneficiaries and public service interpreters.
