appointing authority

Good evening,

AIPN = autorité investie du pouvoir de nomination = appointing authority

Dans les limites du (très mince) contexte, cela me paraît pouvoir être proposé !

Thanks for any comment !
Peer comment(s):

agree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : Agree with 'autorité investie du pouvoir de nomination' http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:... AIPN thus shorthand & thus descriptive, not limited to one specific body, thus okay to translate.

Merci. That's also my point of view: a translation is supposed to provide some means for understanding: therefore, keeping "AIPN" as such doesn't match the need. That said, it could be added as a foot note to "appointing authority".
agree rkillings : And capitalise it! "Appointing Authority ('the AIPN')" has already appeared in the Official Journal of the EU, in re Balieu-Steinmetz and Noworyta v Parliament (Case F-115/07) (2007/C 315/92).
