key points / principles Explanation: Eckpunkt is a new German "Modewort" - a Google search on the term will yield some 28,000 hits... (But neither Duden nor Wahrig list it yet in their latest editions.) "Key points" would probably be the best and most generic translation. In some instances, "principles" might work better. An example of what is considered an "Eckpunkt" may be found in the following excerpted list: Die genannten Eckpunkte der Reform: Bedarfssatzerhöhung: Die Bedarfssätze des BAföG sollen deutlich angehoben und den gestiegenen Lebenshaltungskosten angepasst werden. Der Höchstsatz soll von 1.030 DM auf 1.100 DM steigen. Freibetragsanhebung: Die Freibeträge, die für die anrechenbaren Einkommen maßgeblich sind, sollen deutlich angehoben werden. studentenwerk.stud.uni-goettingen.de/bafoeg/eckpunkte.phtml Some other examples of the use of the word: Entwurf von Eckpunkten zur Notwendigkeit und zum Inhalt tarifvertraglicher Lösungen für die Beschäftigten in Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen www.wisko.gew.de/Arbeitspapiere/Forum 2/Eckpunkte.htm Ministerin Behler legt Eckpunkte-Papier für neue Form der Lehrerausbildung vor / Modellversuch in NRW geplant: Mit Bachelor und Master in die Schulen. ... www.nrw.de/aktuell/presse/pm2001/kcn20010517_2.htm Die afrikanische Herausforderung Eckpunkte einer strategischen Afrikapolitik www.dse.de/zeitschr/ez501-9.htm |

Further to my previous answer: directives or guidelines Explanation: Sorry, I should have checked my terminology database before firing off my answer: It does list Eckpunktepapier - set of directives or set of guidelines. Hopefully this will give you a few more options. Personal terminology database |
