kvotepliktige

English translation: quota-bound entity

Norwegian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering / Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change
Norwegian term or phrase: kvotepliktige
"Beregningen av CO2 utslippet baseres på at den kvotepliktige fører en løpende oversikt over mottak av karbonmaterialer fra hver enkelt produsent." I know what it means; I need something better than a clumsy circumlocution like "the company/person subject to quotas", which is all I came up with.

Thanks for your help. In the event, I used a number of circumlocutions -- I admire the way Norwegian can make these compounds work, in a way we've partly lost in English following the arrival of Vilhjalmur bastarðr in 1066.

agree  Richard Lawson: Totally agree with Per here. Both are OK, but personally I prefer "subject to quotas", which is at least real English, if slightly circumlocutory.
