Spanish term or phrase: oído el concepto favorable
Heading of a banking statute:

I wonder if there is a specific "legalese" term for this
Annie E
having received [cabinet] approval
Explanation:
Hi Annie

This is by no means an area in which I am specialized, so I won't rate my answer as any more than a guess. However, given the fact that the term you give does crop up so frequently in legal/legislative documents, it does seem that there should be an equivalent 'set phrase' in English. I wonder if the term might therefore be cabinet approval?

hope this helps.

agree  JimW: also: taking notice of the Cabinet's favorable opinion or duly noting the Cabinet's etc..?

  -> Thanks JimW. But it should be "after taking notice" or "once having taken notice", to adequately fit it in with the rest of the sentence. Your input is much appreciated. Regards.
