DG for Industry and Trade and DG for the Environment Explanation: From what I can find, they are two separate DGs just linked together here. In the link below there are other examples of various linkings http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/search?source=auto&quer... here it is clear that Industry and Trade is one Directorate http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2013-01-03 11:54:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- confidence level should be a 4 rather than a guess -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2013-01-03 11:58:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- for the list of directorates where it is simply "Trade" here though I have seen it as Enterprise and Industry and various other titles as well http://ec.europa.eu/about/ds_en.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2013-01-03 12:01:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- the rest of your document shoud let you know if you are dealing with Trade or Enterprise and Industry but I beive Environmentis a separate DG http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/index_en.htm http://ec.europa.eu/trade/index_en.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2013-01-03 15:57:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So, it seems to be agreed that the "Y" is linking the two separate Directorates here. I agree with the discussion points made by Charles and think his adaptation would work. I note he is using "Enterprise and Industry" rather than "Trade" : DG Enterprise and Industry and DG Environment the Directorates-General of Enterprise and Industry and of the Environment. |

Directorates-General for Enterprise and Industry and for Environment Explanation: See list of directorates-general on the EEC website:http://ec.europa.eu/about/ds_en.htm I rarely use a 5 level of certainty, but this is from the horse's mouth, and there's really only one way to write it out. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2013-01-03 21:53:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also, it should be 'of the European Commission' - not the European Union. |

| Reference: Directorate-General for the Environment (European Commission) Reference information: From Wikipedia: " It was only in 1973 that an environmental unit was created within DG Industry; a fully-fledged Environment Directorate-General (DG) was then set up in 1981." Could you be working with an old document? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2013-01-03 11:47:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directorate-General_for_the_Env... |
