office/agency/department for technical environmental protection Explanation: I found "Fachschule für technischen Umweltschutz" as a term in our ministry's Multiterm database - unfortunately, no references as to where the Fachschule is located. But the translation of "Technischer Umweltschutz" was "technical environmental protection". If you google this it garners quite a number of hits. I am, however, not a native speaker and therefore, cannot judge whether this sounds "natural" or makes any sense. |

peer agreement (net): +1Office for (Technical) Environmental Protection Explanation: I hesitate with adding "technical" here, because that would mean the country / location has several different environmental protection offices. I would also shy away from "agency", since in the US the official institution is named that way - EPA = Environmental Protection Agency.... |
