Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks:o) However, I found overall assessment to mean "samlad bedömning". And, my dictionariers are not kind enough to supply the distinction between "sammentagen" and "samlad":o) Wonder if it could mean a summary assessment...?

Asker: Problem is that both terms are used: "samlad bedömning"and "sammantagen bedömning" ...


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Anders Dalström: would definitely go for 'overall' rather than 'summary' as 'sammantagen' means that all aspects have been included before the decision is taken
