Decisore

English translation: government (in context)

Government / Politics
Italian term or phrase: Decisore
A settembre bisognerà risollecitare fortemente al Decisore governativo un provvedimento che ripristini i termini stabiliti e concordati in sede internazionale.

The context is a document about fur trade regulations - I am confused about the singular and capitalised "Decisore" (decision maker). Thank you

Explanation:
"... again ask the Goverment to..." In the absence of a normal sounding translation for the "decider", it is probably best just to leave it out, since it adds little or nothing to the meaning.

neutral  Mirra_: the translation is requested for 'decisore' not for 'decider' and so your comment makes no sense at all!
