LexALP

Legal Language Harmonisation System for Environment and Spatial Planning within the Multilingual Alps

LexALP aims at supporting cross-border cooperation by creating innovative approaches for the harmonisation of legal terminology in several languages. The final goal is to support a clear and efficient communication across borders so as to contribute to a balanced and uniform development of the Alps.

LexALP has tested and developed ad-hoc methods and tools to compare 6 legal systems (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Slovenia) and more than one supranational system (EU legislation, International law and the specific regulatory frame of the Alpine Convention) in the field of spatial planning and sustainable development. The result of these in-depth analyses will be harmonised terminology collections in the four official languages of the Alpine Convention, namely French, German, Italian and Slovene. All tools and data are freely available online within the LexALP Information System.
