in Member States with a high taxation on car purchase, such as Ireland, prices before tax are relatively low.
With regard to prices after tax, it has to be noted that car purchase taxation has remained an issue on
which the Member States decide, as they have so far excluded this issue from Community actions
concerning fiscal harmonisation in the single market.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2473/00

by Esko Sepp(cid:228)nen (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(12 July 2000)

Subject: Information or knowledge society?

In the English language versions of the Commission(cid:146)s documents the two terms (cid:145)information society(cid:146) and
(cid:145)knowledge society(cid:146) occur. In Finnish, both are translated by the same word (cid:145)tietoyhteiskunta(cid:146). It is not
possible to tell from the translation that different things are being referred to. Or does the Commission
consider that (cid:145)information(cid:146) is really the same as (cid:145)knowledge(cid:146)? If they are not, the translators have been
neglecting their duties.

Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission

(31 July 2000)

The Honourable Member states that in Commission documents in Finnish, the English terms (cid:145)information
society(cid:146) and (cid:145)knowledge society(cid:146) have both been translated by the same Finnish word (cid:145)tietoyhteiskunta(cid:146). He
asks whether the Commission considers that (cid:145)information(cid:146) is really the same as (cid:145)knowledge(cid:146).

The Commission does not consider the concepts (cid:145)information(cid:146) and (cid:145)knowledge(cid:146) as synonymous, nor are
they treated as such in Finnish translations of Commission documents.

An analysis of the English and Finnish versions of several hundred Commission documents in which these
terms occur, reveals no case where the two terms have been treated as synonymous.

In almost all cases (cid:145)information society(cid:146) has been translated into Finnish as (cid:145)tietoyhteiskunta(cid:146) and (cid:145)knowl-
edge society(cid:146) as (cid:145)osaamisyhteiskunta(cid:146). This is also the agreed current standard for translating these words
into Finnish in Commission documents. The practice may be slightly different in other Community
institutions.

In a few older Commission documents, other Finnish translations may have been used inadvertently, but
the two terms have never been treated as synonymous.

If the Honourable Member has found Commission documents where the contrary is true, they are
exceptional and not representative of the Commission(cid:146)s current translation practice.
