action is taken
I guess the numbered paragraphs (which, by the way, you should list using Arabic, not Roman numbers, as the latter are not usual in English) are preceded by something like "provided that".

: Lo que iba a decir; pero en lo de números romanos me permito opinar de lo contrario, no deben cambiarse, y se usan mucho en inglés.

: sorry...action is taken just does not work for me, Maria..obrar is to strive for..action is taken is something else, IMO..The idea is that everyone should strive to do x...action is taken doesn't render that idea, does it?

: Hi Jane: "obrar" in this case is just a Spanish nuance of the verb "act" as in "act accordingly" = "obrar en consecuencia". (See bilingual reference: http://www.schillerinstitute.org/lar_related/ibero_lhl_nov_2... ) Saludos/Regards!
