literally Explanation: to express a favourable opinion, technically a 'permission, authorization' is given by a legal subject, usually a division of a Town-hall, in answer to a request (by a citizen) to, for example, build a new fence and it means, basically, 'go ahead, nothing against it'. I'd say 'to give permission/authorisation' or even to authorise. HTH Cristina |

issue an advice of no objection Explanation: Greetings, Nikolaus -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-05 12:05:00 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- there are various forms of \"no objection\" like a \"certification of no objection\" (http://www.illbc.org/RegInfo/RuleProcess.htm); but here I think that advice is the best choice, as after all the Italian word is \"parere\". Probably one authority, responsible for environmental protection or something like that, issues an advice of no objection, concerning some building plan or similar, and based on this advice, another, coordinating, authority can then authorize the planned building; that\'s my guess at least, without further context.
