Die Kosten der Entsorgung musste bisher der letzte Besitzer des Fahzeugs tragen. Das wird sich nun ändern, denn mit der EU-Altauto-Richtlinie nimmt die Europäische Union bei der Entsorgung von Schrottautos die Unternehmen stark in die Pflicht.

But it's not an European Union of labor. It is the European Union of states.

Hi Edith, the EU is something unclear to a Chinese mind. It is always the case that things are to be learned and have to be learned. Cheers.

: But what really intrigues me is why somebody in China with evidently little knowledge of German is translating into English a German text about the EU End-of-Life Vehicles Directive!

I must explain this. There are fewer translators who do German>Chinese translation than English>Chinese. The asker is probably doing both English>Chinese and German>Chinese and he needs help from translators who do German>English.

: Honestly speaking, at least a *German* translator should know what the European Union (EU) is. //add: Ich habe nirgendwo gesagt, dass ich alles weiß, aber ein Übersetzer sollte Allgemeinbildung besitzen. Ist wie: Wer kann mir sagen, was Vatikan ist?

writeaway
: I must also express my amazement about this question.It's not really a question of language and with the EU (and Germany in particular) so actively investing in China,is hard to believe an educated Chinese would be stumped by the term EU in any language

There are always some questions which are obviously common sense but which are unknown to some people. I know the asker well enough to understand why he posted the question without a second thought on the question.

Comment: "Thanks! I am sorry for being lazy this time. I did not do my homework before asking so elementary an question. "Honestly speaking", I am not a *German* translator yet. I am learning German. :)"
