Verhaltenskontrolle

English translation: monitoring or montioring of conduct

15:51 Jan 19, 2003
German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Business/Commerce (general) / business
German term or phrase: Verhaltenskontrolle
from cartel administration proceedings:

"Daher fuehren auferlegte Massnahmen, die auf Beseitigung von Marktzutrittsschranken gerichtet sind, ferner Vertriebsregelungen, die anderen Unternehmen den Zugang zu Bezugs- oder Absatzmaerkten eroeffnen oder gar die Freiheit der Auswahl von Abnehmern oder Lieferanten beschneiden, regelmaessig zu einer laufenden Verhaltenskontrolle durch die Kartellbehoerde."

My dictionaries seem to be consistently giving me "conduct control," although this seems somewhat unsatisfying to me because it doesn't really seem to be dealing with individual ethical conduct or the like. Is this a stadard term? Would something like "practice control" work?

What would YOU say?

Thanks.

disagree  Maureen Holm, J.D., LL.M.: Too zoological. It's "conduct" that's monitored here, not behavior, and it's continuous, so 'checks' doesn't work either..

neutral  Yngve Roennike: Corporate monitoring seems more like watching ethical conduct, like ensuring books are not cooked,etc.
