Italiano term

superiori prescrizioni

Da Italiano a Inglese Legale/Brevetti Legale: Contratti Specifications
In a contract containing building specifications.

Sentence:

"Nel rispetto delle superiori prescrizioni, il presente decreto autorizza un impianto per la produzione di energia."

I can't work out if "superiori prescrizioni" refers means "the ABOVE SPECIFICATIONS" or something like "the HIGHER SPECIFICATIONS". Can anybody help?

Many thanks in advance,
Nina
Proposed translations (Inglese)
3 +1 primary legislation
4 above rules

James (Jim) Davis Oct 11, 2007:
Nina if the "prescrizioni" above are about a power plant, then I think "above" would be the only plausible interpretation. It is "delle superiori" and not "di superiori"
James (Jim) Davis Oct 11, 2007:
Hi Silvia, I read it and I thought it would be difficult for a decreto to talk about superiori prescrizioni in that way. Then I thought "the above..." and it made me smile, but then I found an example, a few actually, but not a lot by Google standards.
Nina Loveridge (asker) Oct 11, 2007:
Hi Siliva: The sentence appears towards the end of the document, following a long list of specifications (supporting the thesis that "superiori prescrizioni" means "above rules"). However, the document also refers frequently to "le norme vigenti", so it could well mean "higher rules" or something of that nature!

Can you provide more context please?
Because to say "ABOVE" in Italian we usually say "SUDDETTO/SUDDETTI" o "SUMMENZIONATE" o "SOPRARIPORTATE".. though Jim found a similar case.. I found an opposite one:

primary legislation

Hi Nina,
I think it refers to the division between primary and secondary legislation. (http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/help/Division_into_Primary_and_...

In other words when you talk about decrees you must refer to "secondary legislation" or "normativa primaria" (http://www.acri.it/3_fond/3_fond0046.asp) and when you talk about laws you must refer to "primary legislation" or "normativa primaria" (http://www.acri.it/3_fond/3_fond0040.asp).

Hello to everybody! ;O)

CORRECT VERSION

Hi Nina,
I think it refers to the division between primary and secondary legislation. (http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/help/Division_into_Primary_and_...

In other words when you talk about decrees you must refer to "secondary legislation" or "normativa secondaria" (http://www.acri.it/3_fond/3_fond0046.asp)

and when you talk about laws you must refer to "primary legislation" or "normativa primaria" (http://www.acri.it/3_fond/3_fond0040.asp).

Hello to everybody! ;O)
