Government / Politics / Excerpts from FAO Codex Alimentarius

Arabic term or phrase: امام

ينبغي ان تكفل ادارة المخاطر الحرص على ان تكون عملية اتخاذ القرارات شفافة ومستحقة في جميع الاحوال تجنبا لاية حواجز لا مبرر لها امام التجارة

I know of course what the word means and I'm inclined to ignore it a bit here, but then again I might be missing something. Does this sound correct -

34. Risk management must ensure that the decision making process will be translucent and uniform in all cases, avoiding barriers that are uncalled for in trading

(This is one of the hardest texts I've encountered as part of my studies! Wow...)

all those obstacles which may be faced by (prevent) the trade

Explanation:
Mu suggestion: The word alone for glossary building purposes simply means "in front of" or "ahead of" but for the text in whole to make the accurate meaning, I suggest taking the actual objective which is in the source sentence, and translate as:

...all those obstacles which may be faced by (prevent) the trade
