Bulgarian to English: Geology
Source text - Bulgarian В глините на въгленосния хоризонт наред с по-редки наклонени пукнатини, преобладават пукнатини, почти успоредни на наслояването. А в глините на “междупластието” е формирана почти повсеместно разпространена, послойна огледална повърхнина, под и над която има “стрити” зони и съпътстващи, неиздържани блещиви повърхнини. Тази огледална повърхнина служи като долна граница на многобройните древни свлачища, изключително широко разпространени в целия басейн.
Translation - English Fissures almost parallel to the stratification predominate in the clays of the coal-bearing horizon, along with less frequent oblique fissures. In the interstitial clays, a mirror-smooth plane has formed almost ubiquitously along the stratification, above and below which there are crush zones and accompanying non-continuous polished surfaces. This mirror-smooth plane acts as the lower boundary of numerous small landslips which are very widespread in the entire basin.
Bulgarian to English: Human Rights Monitoring
Source text - Bulgarian На 26 септември 2006 г. бе публикуван последният преди присъединяването на България мониторингов доклад на ЕК за готовността на страната за членство. В него, въпреки отчетения известен напредък, продължават констатациите на Комисията за дефицити във всички наблюдавани сфери и са отправени нови препоръки не само по 6-те “червени зони”, но и по проблемите на правата на човека и закрила и интеграция на малцинства и уязвими групи.
Translation - English On 26 September 2006, the last EC monitoring report was published on Bulgaria’s readiness for membership before the accession of the country to the European Union. Although a certain amount of progress was recognized in this report, the Commission continued to note shortcomings in all the fields monitored and formulated new recommendations, not only in connection with the six “red zones”, but also in connection with human rights and the integration of minorities and vulnerable groups.

Bulgarian to English: Forensic laboratory seminar
Source text - Bulgarian Le système allemand apparaît, a priori, comme le plus performant car le plus souple notamment dans l’adjonction de nouvelles infractions alors que le système français est fermé et peu apte à recevoir de nouvelles qualifications (ce système sera d’ailleurs reconsidéré d’ici 2 ans) ;
il est clair que chaque codification dépend fortement du code pénal du pays et qu’il serait assez vain de vouloir chercher un modèle précis parmi l’un des 3 représentés, d’autant que chacun a mis l’accent, à plusieurs reprises, sur l’impérieuse nécessité qu’ils avaient à reconsidérer leur propre nomenclature ;
Se pose aussi la question de la prise en compte de la corruption ; de même les nouveaux modes opératoires comme le « car-jacking »; les experts reconnaissent la difficulté à trouver un système fiable et souple autorisant la reconnaissance immédiate d’un type particulier soit d’infraction soit de mode opératoire, en l’absence d’une codification préalable ; une des réponses viendra de la possibilité d’interrogations multicritères à travers l’ outil d’un DataWarehouse.
Translation - English At first sight, the German system seems to be the most efficient, as it is the most flexible especially when new offences are added, while the French system is closed and unsuitable for receiving new qualifications (in fact this system will be reconsidered two years from now);
Clearly any coding system is very dependent on the penal code of the country, and it would be fruitless to try to find a precise model amongst one of the three countries represented, inasmuch as each of them has, on a number of occasions, put the emphasis on the pressing need to reconsider their own nomenclature;
The question also arises of taking corruption into account, as well as new modes of operation such as “car-jacking”; the experts recognize the difficulty of finding a viable and flexible system which authorizes the immediate recognition of particular types of offence and types of modes of operation in the absence of a pre-existing coding system; one of the solutions could come from the possibility of multi-criteria questioning using tools such as DataWarehouse.
