beslutade

English translation: the decision-making body

14:40 Nov 8, 2010
Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Management / Administration
Swedish term or phrase: beslutade
From EU regional development report:
Förvaltningsmyndighet för programmet har varit Länsstyrelsen i x län. Länsstyrelsen har också varit beslutade om stöd, via en till länsstyrelsen kopplad strukturfondsdelegation, för instatsområderna 1, 2, 4, 5 och 6.

What does the "beslutade om" mean here? Is it that the county administrative board has also been "covered by decisions taken by the SF committee" (or a neater way of saying the same thing)? All ideas welcome.

English translation:the decision-making body
Explanation:
First things first -- it's a typo, as Anna has noted, and should be "beslutande". Next, it's shorthand for "beslutande organ", which I would translate here with the definite article as I have suggested. See the links below for pairing of "beslutande organen" and "decision-making bodies" at the EU.

Sorry, I should have fully answered your query. It's ". . . the decision-making body on . . ." or " . . . the decision-making body about . . .".

Thanks - would have been more confident in thinking it was a typo if it hadn't occurred multiple times in a 2-page document!

Explanation:
I think it should say "beslutande". It does not make sense to me otherwise.
