10 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1Explanation Explanation: de lege lata = nach dem geltenden Recht (See: Dietl/Lorenz) So you could translate it as follows: The new European Law gets rid of the uncertainties/ambiguities of the rules and regulations [to avoid repeating the word "law"] that are currently in force/ that have been in force until now. (or something like that) |
