Law/Patents - Law (general)
German term or phrase: konkret zuständig
Kooperationsbereitschaft der konkret zuständigen ausländischen Behörden (eine Inspektion einer Schweizer Behörde im Ausland muss völkerrechtlich mit Zustimmung des betroffenen Staates erfolgen, vgl. Ziffer 4.3 der Erwägungen zum Urteil)

"konkret" is really the part I am having trouble with. TIA
Kathryn McFarland
(directly) responsible
Explanation:
In my opinion, you can leave out the word "konkret" here. Either an agency is responsible for a given area or it isn't.

If you really want to express the idea behind the word "konkret" and emphasize the level of responsibility involved, you could add the word "directly".

... the foreign agencies (directly) reponsible for this area/these issues ...
