peer agreement (net): +1légiférer Explanation: sens primitif devrait faire l'affaire -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-09 14:34:26 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- it only means (albeit in rather bastard Engish) : an area in which governments would be in a position to introduce legislation, make laws, etc. I hesitated over \"légiférer\" for obvious reasons but it really does mean \"to make legislation\" and it seemed to have a similar flavour to the funny English. To \"effect\" legislation is also ambiguous - i.e. pass laws or enforce them and I felt that \"légiférer\" also met this dual need. |
