Explanation:
Hugues, without more context, (at least the complete sentence), this is a real stab in the dark and I don't propose to even attempt to translate "on". I think that it has the advantage of some ambiguity if with the benefit of the whole document you are still in doubt as to the meaning! In particular, however, I have attempted to distance this answer from others that you have received in case this is of assistance to you in weighing up options.
