basic/essential requirements/obligations Explanation: IMO, you may choose from those above. I've never come across "cardinal" as an adjective in English. I think, the "Kardinalpflichten" (which I would translate as one out of the above) are specified elsewhere in the contract, isn't it? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-28 11:30:02 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"duties\" might work as well. |
