Nederlands term

deze regels lenen zich... (whole phrase)

Nederlands naar Engels Juridisch / patenten Juridisch (algemeen)
In a text about aspects of social security in the draft ILO Maritime Convention:

De normbepalingen van de ILO-verdragen op het terrein van de sociale zekerheid richten zich tot de wetgever en bevatten voorschriften met betrekking tot het beschermingsniveau en dekkingsgraad van de sociale zekerheid. De beschermde personen kunnen aan deze verdragen niet rechtstreeks een recht ontlenen. De aanwijsregels in het coördinatierecht hebben een geheel ander rechtskarakter. Zij bevatten regels die bepalen welke wetgeving op een werknemer of zelfstandige van toepassing is in het geval van een (potentieel) wetsconflict tussen twee landen. **Deze regels lenen zich naar hun aard wel voor rechtstreekse werking.**

Can anyone put this in plain English for me? Not sure what it's saying.

Discussion

Deborah do Carmo Feb 19, 2005:
Thanks Moira - glad to help, the difference seemed small to some perhaps but really wasn't here so I needed to banter on a bit to get the message across. Keep well.
Deborah do Carmo Feb 19, 2005:
for the "beschermde personen". Once you view this for wht it is a question of recourse, it becomes clear that "direct" is the only option here. Anyway, hope all the vigorous arguing, albeit some of it misdirected, helps. Enjoy the weekend, Debs.
Deborah do Carmo Feb 19, 2005:
Hi Moira, after all the hubbub of yesterday - I think I can in a nutshell define where the confusion has arisen. This is not a question of TIMING (in which case the term immediate would obviously be fine), it is a question of RECOURSE
Non-ProZ.com Feb 18, 2005:
Ladies, ladies! A storm seems to have blown up while I've been out for a couple of hours. This is NOT a contract, as Debbie rightly surmises. Simply a letter outlining the Netherlands' position on the draft Maritime Convention. Don't you recognise the bureau-speak?? ;-)

in other words: it is not necessary for legislation in the country in question to be enacted first incorporating these rules - they do not have to be first transposed into national legislation - the party to whom they are addressed can rely on them directly.

My colleague\'s link doesn\'t seem to work but there is a definte distinction in law between something taking immediate effect and being directly applicable.

I can also pick up numerous examples in English of contracts which happen to have a clause that states something takes immediate effect. It doesn\'t help however if it doesn\'t happen to be at all relevant to the point in issue.

However the context here is draft LEGISLATION in the form of a convention. It is clearly referring to the application of the various forms regulations thereunder. The first address the legislature and reeequite its intervention, the second doesn\'t and is therefore directly applicable.

I trust these clears the issue and that we are at least not even working with a contract here!

I am not disputing that taking immediate effect is legal terminology Willemina - but quoting a \"standard\" term from a contract in the context of a convention and in this content is incorrect.

To state that direct effect or direct application is not used in \"legal speak\" (as you call it) at all is with all due respect ludicrous.

well that\'s just gone crazy on repeating itself - my apologies - but to finish

......capable of direct application or takes direct effect.

It\'s very dangerous to think that a stock phrase is going to apply in all legal translating. It isn\'t - and this is a prime example.

I realy have no issue if you do not wish to continue the debate Willemina - we all have busy schedulesand it may well be getting a tad to technical to follow perhaps - but it\'s not a question of agreeing to disagree - our asker NEEDS to be clear on the point - of course rules can take immediate effect as can clauses in a contract but you are missing the issue altogether.

A rule or law has direct effect or is directly applicable when it is not necessary for the national legislature to take steps to enact it. The individual in that country can rely upon it DIRECTLY in the absence of State legislation embodying it.

Draft legislation that has not yet come into force can be described in its content as being directly applicable yet not yet be in force - so immediate is really not the term here on that point alone.

If you don\'t draw the distinction, let me know there are whole chapters of textbooks I can refer you to on the topic - it\'s a word that really does have its own place here and the two are not interchangeable in the context above.

I think

--------------------------------------------------

I\'m going to have one last attempt at making the distinction for here.

I agree wholeheartedly that in many cases direct and immediate can be used interchangeably. However in this context they cannot as there is a specific principle in law classified as direct effect. We cannot choose to ignore that for what seems (but isn\'t here) a synonym.

That would be like saying let\'s give the theory of relativity another name!

The reason I know this is because I\'m a lawyer like many of you have other qualifications in other fields. I don\'t know everything about the law but I\'m particularly clued up on direct effect because I\'m busy with my dissertation in EU law for my Masters and it forms a major part of my reading - so I\'m not hair splitting - I am very sure about this and wouldn\'t be defending the answer so vigorously otherwise.

Bear in mind here we are talking (under cover of correspondence) about draft legislation (in the form of a convention of the ILO). Two forms of rules are discussed in the text. One is mentioned to be directed at the legislature - that means the legislature must take steps to implement in the national framework. The second category is DIRECTLY APPLICABLE meaning IN THIS CONTEXT - not immediate, but meaning an individual can have recourse to it DIRECTLY in the absence of national legislation covering it, or in a conflict of laws situation.

That in a nutshell is what direct effect is all about - we are not talking about something coming into force, we are talking in this context about direct recourse.

I hope I\'ve made the distinction clear enough now - off to have a sundowner and enjoy a lovely Algarve evening. Have a good weekend.

These rules, by their nature, are suitable to have immediate effect

.. is a solution. Good luck!

I think you confusing the two: \"with immediate effect\" is a standard expression in legal terminology (by the way: my husband is a lawyer and confirms this and I have used this phrase in many of my legal translations), but there is a difference between \"direct application\" and \"immediate effect\". You will find that the expression \"with direct effect\" is not used in this context or in legal speak at all.

I may have mentioned contracts, but it can also be applied to other legal documents. Where does it say that rules cannot take immediate effect? See also the following link (hopefully this works): www.ttra.org/employment_law.htm But can we after this just agree to disagree? I haven\'t got the time to go on about this.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Deborah do Carmo : sorry but the term in law in this context is definitely "direct" - I happen to be a practising lawyer so am basing it on my education and direct experience; why quote from a contract when we are not even dealing with one?

Where do you base this on? The standard expression in contracts etc is that something "has immediate effect". See for instance: www.swanseacityafc.co.uk/modules.

the latter rules can be introduced/applied with immediate effect

I think simplicity works best here.

There is obviously a legal difference of ´apples and oranges´ between ´aanwijsregels´ and ´normbepalingen´. If you use ´the latter´, which can be used so nicely in the English language, then there is less confusion as to what is really being referred to.
