peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1in line with expedient/practical criteria Explanation: I've seen "oportunidad" to mean "expedience/expediency" so perhaps something along the lines of: in line with expedient criteria such as the products being multifunctional, vandal proof and maintenance free. Alternatively, perhaps the more natural-sounding (if slightly freer) option of "practical criteria" would work. |

The more I look at it, the less I'm liking "criteria" for this. They are really talking about features or characteristics of the "mobiliario urbano"... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2013-05-30 12:15:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- PS: Am not keen on "in line with" as proposed below either, not sure why, perhaps to avoid clashing with "línea de mobiliario...". |
