Statutory agency

Government / Politics
English term or phrase: Statutory agency
Term: "Statutory agency"

Aktuell mening: "While it means that the local actors cannot claim sole control, it also means that other partners, such as the statutory agencies, are locked into accountability for the successful outcome of the programme."

Definition: A statutory authority is a body set up by law which is authorised to enforce legislation on behalf of the relevant country or state. They are typically found in countries which are governed by a British style of parliamentary democracy. They are common in the UK, Australia, New Zealand etc. but are also found elsewhere

Kontext: Texten i sig är en handbok om egenmakt/empowerment som riktar sig till Europeiska socialfonden och den tar upp ett antal fallstudier (projekt) från olika medlemsstater.

Hur skulle ni översätta "statutory agency" till svenska? Tillsynsmyndighet känns som det närmaste vi kommer i Sverige, men det är ju "supervisory authority". Eller skulle ni föredra någon förklarande omskrivning? Har kört fast!
Tack!

statutory agency
tillsynsmyndighet


Explanation:
Definitionen av "statutory authority" stämmer in ganska bra på "tillsynsmyndighet".
Och en statutory agency kan väl vara en supervisory agency?

disagree  Daniel Löfström: Det är sant att en myndighet [statutory agency] kan vara en tillsynsmyndighet [supervisory agency], men alla myndigheter är inte tillsynsmyndigheter!

neutral  CamDah: Tack för bra kommentarer. Jag uppfattar det som om statutory är en myndighet med mer "befogenheter" än en tillsynsmyndighet/supervisory. Och det är väl(?) detta vi inte har någon direkt motsvarighet till i Sverige? Eller har jag fel?!

statutory agency
författningsorgan


Explanation:

Jag är inte säker, men det är ett förslag.

Se http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/statutory där det står att det betyder något som är "regulated by statute", och "statute" betyder "författning", "lagstiftning" o.s.v.

Både "författning" och "organ" kan bytas ut till synonymer.

Hoppas det hjälper dig lite! Lycka till! :-)
