Point for consideration


Explanation:
Although Grund normally means "grounds" or "reason", I think "point" might actually be possible here. Thus:

"Taking the 16th point of consideration for Directive 2001/18/EC into account could lead to a different result."

"Erwägung" is certainly "consideration" as a general rule. Hope this has helped a bit.

Consideration/opinion


Explanation:
Warum nicht einfach "consideration"? "Erwaegungsgrund" ist m.E. einfach nur verklausuliertes Juristendeutsch und ein anderer Ausdruck fuer "Erwaegung", also "consideration". "Opinion" waere passend, wenn in dieser No. 16 nicht nur etwas erwaegt wird, sondern auch eine Position hinsichtlich einer bestimmten Frage bezogen wird. Wuerde prima passen und ist ein sehr gebraeuchlicher Ausdruck.
