Hallo allemaal, ik zit met een in Nederland betrekkelijk veel door advocaten gebezigde kreet, maar vraag me af hoe ik dit nu het beste kan vertalen. Heeft iemands iets beter zonder 'exploring'?
De hele alinea luidt als volgt:
Vanaf mei bent, u, als vooruitgeschoven post van XXX, op zoek naar bedrijfsruimte in Nederland. U doet de onderhandelingen. XXX heeft u de mogelijkheden de afgelopen maanden aangedragen.

Comment: "Thanks a lot, Jarry, I think this answer is definitely the most useful and I will put it into the Proz terminology base. However, I must admit I cowardly used a different solution as, of course, it was a rush translation and your solution hadn't come in as yet: ". . . you were sent to the Netherlands to explore the possibilities for leasing company premises . . ."
Best regards,
Marijke"

1857 Emerson May-day Poems (1883) 204 When pacing through the oaks he heard Sharp queries of the *sentry-bird.
1917 W. Owen Let. 16 Jan. (1967) 428 Servants don\'t do *Sentry Duty. 1977 Belfast Tel. 28 Feb. 4/3 A soldier who shot dead a Derry man and injured two other people while on sentry duty in the city last May was jailed for five years.

1664 Hubert Catal. Rarities (1665) 25 A strange sort of Oyster, that is called the *Sentry fish for his nature; for it is fastned to the Rocks, and most commonly stands open to catch fish.
1869–73 T. R. Jones Cassell\'s Bk. Birds I. 208 The *Sentry Lark (Macronyx capensis) has received its name from the peculiar cry that it utters when disturbed, which sounds exactly like the Qui vive! employed as a challenge by French soldiers on guard.
