Catalan term or phrase: legislador
This term keeps coming up in my text. I'm positive it's not talking about an individual, a legislator, and fairly sure it's not talking about a specific deliberative law-making body, a legislature. Legislation sometimes seems to fit, but not here. I think it may be talking about the body of all EU law, case law and positive law (and?). I'm not sure you can use legislature like that in English. Any ideas?

Original
El **legislador**, de manera creixent, ha configurat les decisions complexes, les decisions que afecten un nombre indeterminat de subjectes, com a decisions no vinculades per mandats legals de caràcter condicionat sinó de caire finalista —com succeeix sovint en el dret públic de l’economia, el medi ambient o l’urbanisme—, i en aquest entorn legal el procediment ha anat adquirint una nova significació.

Rough draft
The legislation has increasingly formed complex decisions that affect an indeterminate number of subjects, such as decisions not bound by legal mandates of a conditioned nature but of a final nature—as is often the case in economic, environmental or urban planning public law—and in this legal environment the process has taken on a new meaning.

Explanation:
If this is definitely not referring to an individual, then perhaps the implication is the group who handle this. It certainly doesn't make much sense that "the Legislation" which refers to a body of laws, should ever form complex decisions. :)

legislator


Explanation:
I'm not strictly a Catalan speaker. However, "the legislator" is the accepted way of referring to the legislating function. I hope this helps.
