Eur. Ph. in law

Thanks for the additional information. I also found this site, which formed the basis for my peer comment. Although I didn't read the site 'cover to cover', it wasn't at all obvious to me that the EP actually contains standards and/or regulations (the site devotes a lot more attention to the activities of the EP commission than the content of the EP document, which is not unusual with PR sites of this sort). However, I'll take your word for it.

Sorry Yasutomo, but a standard is not a regulation and a law is yet a 3rd animal! The wording is so odd that it might refer to the law of the country in question and not just be "regulations" tacked on to the end of European Pharmacopoeia.

Despite of my answering the question, I too think that "in law" here is a bit awkward. That's why I added the word "Standard" in parantheses, and I believe that everyone here understands that it's kind of a standard or a regulation within the European Public Health Law or whatever. Writeaway, you're right, Polish, Czech, Bulgarian, Ukranian, Russian, Belarusian are all cousins. They're all Slavic languages in the broader sense.

IMO you should ask your client for the source text (or source wording), and if necessary ask for an explanation or translation in a Czech > xxx forum

I've been told that Polish and Czech are a bit like cousins so maybe you could ask to see the original Czech document?

European pharmaceutical regulations?

(and a clueless translator...)
