Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Government / Politics / politics | | Dutch term or phrase: beleid en sturing | eurodicautom has been no help at all.
I have the following:
Onderbouwing [heading]
Beleid en sturing [sub-heading]
Bij het thema 'Beleid en sturing' is gekeken naar:
de beleidsuitgaven voor programma's gericht op de electronische overheid.
In a political context, would this be 'steering' (as in, steering committee)? |

| | Policy and focus | Explanation:
"Sturen op" is to focus on, and given the information that follows ("gericht op de electronische overheid") I think that 'focus' is the only correct translation. In my opinion, 'control' is not correct in this context, and 'steering' is certainly not a good solution. |

| Grading comment Having had doubt cast on the options, I went back to the
monolingual dictionary, which gives 'sturing' as meaning 'besturing' or 'regulering'. As a result, I ended up using 'administration', which does actually suit my needs quite well.
