Explanation:
... allow EXPROPRIATION only if compensation is made/provided.

I'd prefer "expropriation" rather than "dispossession" since the latter also has the connotation of "widerrechtliche Enteignung", which certainly does not fit the constitutional context.

Btw, the term "expropriation without compensation" is the standard equivalent of German "entschädigungslose Enteignung", i.e. just the opposite of what's mentioned in your sentence.

Thank you - that's what I was looking for but was having problems finding the right words. I'd also been using expropriation for "Enteignung" in the previous section.
