do not keep (negotiating) de novo


Explanation:
von neuem = de novo in Latin. Remember that.
nicht immer wieder = do not keep, so taking the re- prefix out of negotiation.



Example sentence(s):
  • In other words, one first has to determine whether de novo negotiation or renegotiation should take place.
