agree  Christine Andersen: Markup is actually given as 'avance' in the EN-DA electronic version of Lyng Svensson's dictionary, ISBN 87-593-1005-7 for a single-licence version. But I agree about 'markup' in connection with legislation.

neutral  Suzanne Blangsted (X): your wrote in my answer that you seriously doubt that one can regulat profit by legislation yet you use "legislation" in your own answer
7 hrs
  -> It's not the profit that's regulated, it's the markup! "Profit" and "markup" are not synonyms! Thank you for confirming that the word "avancelovgivning" is not in your reference.

disagree  Sven Petersson: I fail to find "avancelovgivning" in my copy of the glossary referred to. Could you please provide ISBN and edition information? I seriously doubt that one can regulate profit by legislation! See my answer!
