Spanish term

en cuanto Administración Pública

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Lease agreements
Good morning,

I am struggling with a suitable way to express "en cuanto Administración Pública" in the following sentece. It is from a the Bond clause of a lease agreement.

De conformidad con el artículo 36.6 de la LAU y el artículo 81 de la Ley 8/1997, de 23 de diciembre, de la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía, la Arrendataria, en cuanto Administración Pública, esta exceptuada de la obligación de prestar fianza.

I was thinking "as far as the public administration is concerned".....

Thanks

Simon

en cuanto perfect Jose, makes sense now
Simon Davies (asker) Oct 26, 2011:
The Tenant in this contract IS the Juntas de Andalucia. (just realised how important that fact is for the copntext, sorry.) In which case, I think jJose has hit the nail in the head.
José Manuel Lozano Oct 26, 2011:
Oh no David, excuse me, but you misunderstood the text. It doesn't mean "with regard to the Public Administration" but "since it is a Public Administration". The Spanish text is correct, "en cuanto" may have that meaning. See my reference below
David Brown Oct 26, 2011:
en cuanto Your translation is fine Simon. In my opinion the Spanish is incorrect. It should read "en cuanto a"

Actually, I thin it should just be 'AS'.

En cuanto = as
En cuant a = as regards

being a Public Administration

This is only really a variation on José Lozano's suggestion of "since it is a" with which I fundamentally agree.
