Spanish term

reglamentariamente tengan tales facultades

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Spanish Employment Law
Context: this phrase occurs at the end of this paragraph, which is forms one section of Spain's Employment Law:

Los representantes de la Administración, así como los de las organizaciones sindicales y de las asociaciones empresariales, que tengan acceso a la copia básica de los contratos en virtud de su pertenencia a los órganos de participación institucional que reglamentariamente tengan tales facultades, observarán sigilo profesional, no pudiendo utilizar dicha documentación para fines distintos de los que motivaron su conocimiento.

I'm not very happy with my rendering of it as " who in due form wield such powers" :

The representatives of the Management, as well as those from the trade union organizations and business associations, who have access to the basic copy of the contracts by virtue of their ownership of the institutional organs of participation, who in due form wield such powers, must exercise professional discretion, and may not use this document for purposes other than those for which they were made cognizant.

I would be very grateful if anyone could suggest a better translation!
Many thanks!

that statutorily possess such authority / powers

Be careful: It's not "who," but "that," since the direct object in this sentence is "los órganos de participación institucional."

And I'm sorry, it's no "possess," but "posses," since they are plural.

who have such powers according to the regulations

"Reglamentariamente" en este caso equivale a "en virtud del reglamento" o normativa.
Peer comment(s):

agree FVS (X) : Yes, but much better to say 'pursuant to' regulations, rather than 'according to'.

legally authorised to access said copy / authorised by law to access...

I think instead of "tales facultades" you need to repeat exactly what it is we are talking about, which in this case is that the bodies are awarded the power to access the copy (or should it be copies, perhaps?) by the law.

Reglamentario refers to "reglamento" ("regulations"), here, i.e. the law.

Also, I'm pretty sure "ownership of" in your translation should be "membership in". The trade unions and organisations don't own the bodies, they belong to them.


Good luck!
