Law/Patents - Law: Taxation & Customs / taxation
Spanish term or phrase: de medio
Concluye también que es la jurisprudencia constitucional la que define las características de las dos (2) anteriores herramientas precisando que la sostenibilidad fiscal no es un principio ni un fin ni un derecho, sino un criterio o mandato “de medio”, “orientador”, “ordenador”, “auxiliar” y “limitado”, que fija una restricción presupuestaria intertemporal a la actuación de las ramas del poder público y que debe interpretarse conforme al principio de progresividad. Por su parte establece que, en el incidente de impacto fiscal, la legitimación activa es indelegable y corresponde a los Ministros y al Procurador, y que se trata de una instancia de interlocución que no desvirtúa la separación de poderes; es decir, concluye que los jueces siguen siendo independientes y que la posibilidad de modular, modificar o diferir en el tiempo los efectos de sus fallos tiene carácter potestativo

neutral  philgoddard: "A criterion or mandate of means" doesn't make sense, and neither does your example sentence.

Explanation:
I think the idea is a means to an end, rather than an end in itself. This fits with the other items that follow: "orientador”, “ordenador”, “auxiliar” and “limitado".

See definition 3 here:

"A means to an end" would be another possible translation.
