Spanish term

CONCEPTO

Spanish to English Medical Business/Commerce (general)
Document from Colombia detailing the decisions of a task force within the review board of a national drug surveillance agency (INVIMA):

CONCEPTO: Revisada la documentacion allegada, la Sala Especializada de Medicamentos y Productos Biologicos de la Comision Revisora recomienda aceptar el protocolo de la referencia con los documentos relacionados.

Could this be translated as "RULING" or 'DECISION," or is it more legal, such as "IN THIS MATTER"? Thank you for your help.

Discussion

Jorge Soares Dec 28, 2010:
The context was provided in links in, at least, one of my previous discussion entries - the very first of all. The asker didn't needed to provide any context because, as the esker and myself clarified, this can be found in ANY of the many Minutes in the Colombia Government site. Also, as our collegue ADRIANA LEGUIZAMO said (below, in my answer box), agreeing that Concepto, in this specific case means, Opinon/Recommendation: "vivo en Colombia y he manejado documentos con el Invima. El concepto en este caso es el juicio o resultado emitido después del estudio, no el tema en cuestión." So, this is not guesswork at all but result of research and personal experience from whom, in fact, knows and works with this official documents and entities. Allow me to thank you in advance for your future respect for the daily work we do in this areas of work, as also as for the research.
AllegroTrans Dec 28, 2010:
@ gallagy2 Exactly - there must be paragraphs following or preceding this with capitalized headings - without knowing what they are, I think it's just guesswork - where is the asker to provide context as requested?
Yvonne Gallagher Dec 28, 2010:
difficult to decide who has correct response when there is so little context
AllegroTrans Dec 28, 2010:
Context I think this all depends on the preceding and following text. Can you tell us something about this, especially any preceding or following capitalized headings?

OPINION/RECOMMENDATION

This medical team/task force analises different topics related with medicine use and after each topic being analised they issue their opinion/recommendation to the Reviser Commision (they work under Reviser Comission). An example that they issue Opinions/recommendations as experts can be seen in the following:

"CONCEPTO: Revisada la documentación allegada, la Sala Especializada de
Medicamentos y Productos Biológicos de la Comisión Revisora considera que los estudios presentados son escasos y a corto plazo y por lo tanto,
teniendo en cuenta lo crónico de la patología a tratar, debe presentar
estudios clínicos publicados realizados a mas largo plazo que permitan
determinar mejor la eficacia (respuesta y mantenimiento de la respuesta) y
seguridad (cataratas, toxicidad hepática y toxicidad renal y mielofibrosis) del
producto"

neutral María Eugenia Wachtendorff : Comprendo que lo entiendas así, pero en un documento, el "concepto" es el tema o materia del que trata su contenido.

Gracias por su opinión. Todavia en este contexto me parece que usted esta equivocada. Todavia sin duda respeto que lo entienda asi. Gracias.
agree Adriana Leguízamo : Jorge, vivo en Colombia y he manejado documentos con el Invima. El concepto en este caso es el juicio o resultado emitido después del estudio, no el tema en cuestión.

DECISION/RULING

I agree with Roxanne. In the context, the term Concepto refers to the decision or ruling that the board has adopted- recommending the adoption the acceptance of the protocols...

Other options: POSITION/CONCLUSION/DETERMINATION/OPINION

Maria E: Citas la definición general de concepto, pero en este contexto no aplica. Si lees bien el pasaje, no está definiendo nada. Está describiendo una decisión o recomencación. En Colombia, es frecuente hablar del "concepto" de una corte o una entidad.
