Note from asker:
| That link is where I got the description from in the first place, Teresa, but I was wondering if in another text it would make sense to at least put an explanation in brackets. What's the rule on this, anybody? Thanks |

: Personal preference, and here the rest of the text explains what it. The EU's German pages use the translation (see Ivo's entry) in some texts, e.g. http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/library/enterprise-euro...
