GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:autocontrol
English translation:self-regulation

Marketing - Agriculture / manifests, invoices, pack
Spanish term or phrase: autocontrol
El Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, y Medio Rural y Marino (MARM) ha anunciado que ha contactado con las autoridades alemanas para exigir responsabilidad, mostrando "toda su colaboración con el sector", disposición que también se le pide a las autoridades alemanas para llevar a cabo los análisis y la trazabilidad correspondientes en destino.
Todos han coincidido en la profesionalización, excelencia y **autocontrol** del sector, que va en muchos casos más allá de las exigencias legales de la Normativa Comunitaria en seguridad y calidad alimentarias, siendo esta la más exigente del mundo.

Surely not self-control...Thanks to all!
