disagree  Mats Wiman: assessment of fairness could be close but 'fai assessment' means that the assessment is fair, which is not asked for

to quallify/be eligible for


Explanation:
The problem with both this suggestion and 'eligible' is that both terms are normally used for people and not land.
But I'm suggesting them anyway as they can be used for other things such as a city.

disagree  J Tomkowicz: När det handlar om juridiska termer är det inte bara att sätta ihop två ord och hoppas att det fungerar.
32 mins
  -> Här bör lingvistiska kommentarer fällas - inte personkritiserande. F.ö är ju termen ett sammansatt ord som på engelska oftast blir två ord som inte "sätts ihop" utan grupperas ihop. Dessutom "hoppas" jag inte. Jag vet.
neutral  Anna Herbst: Jag håller med J. Tomkowicz här. Hennes lexikonrelaterade kommentar är välgrundad. Med exempelmeningar från tillförlitliga källor kan ett förslag ges större auktoritet.

Ex aequo et bono/according to the right and good


Explanation:
I have done some research and it seems that there's no exact translation of the word in Englih. The most common word used in EUR-Lex is "fairness". Then I also found the latin term:

Ex aequo et bono (Latin for "according to the right and good" or "from equity and conscience") is a phrase derived from Latin that is used as a legal term of art. In the context of arbitration, it refers to the power of the arbitrators to dispense with consideration of the law and consider solely what they consider to be fair and equitable in the case at hand.

Maybe the answer is "an assessment of what is fair and equitable"

3.3.3
Reasonableness
Termen reasonableness används igenom hela UCC för att etablera parternas skyldigheter. Parterna måste till exempel handla inom rimlig tid om inget annat är överenskommet. Termen commercial reasonableness
används för näringsidkarnas motsvarande skyldigheter.

Det finns ingen definition i UCC av vad skälighet eller förnuftighet innebär.
Termen definieras genom hänvisningar till prestationens utförande, partsbruk, handelsbruk etc.

- skälighet = discretion
- discretionary assessment = skönstaxering

@mats kan du förklara för mig vad du anser vara personkritik? Jag har gjort annat än vad du har gjort mot mig och alla andra personer som har svarat på denna fråga. Jag har sett dina inlägg i flera frågor och när man kritiserar, så ofta och gärna som du gör, bör man även vara (mer än) lite öppen för kritik. Jag har inte kritiserat dig som person utan de inlägg som du gör. Vad jag anser är fel, är att går in och klickar "disagree" med ALLA inlägg som hade gjorts och sedan lägger fram din egen. Varför? Kan inte du bara lägga till vad du har att säga utan att "slå alla andra på fingrarna"? Det här är ett "forum" där översättare kan ställa frågor, utbyta åsikter med/ och hjälpa varandra, vissa är mer experter/erfarna än andra, men alla ska väl ha samma möjlighet till att utvecklas professionellt sätt. Eller?

@mats, Har du kollat upp din översättning i ett juridiskt lexikon, eller motsvarande? Som sagt, oftast så handlar det inte om att kolla upp två enskilda ord och "gruppera dem" för att "skapa" en översättning på ett annat språk. Ta inte illa upp, det här är absolut inte ett personangrepp eller kritik mot din person. Hoppas att du inte tar illa upp...

feasibility assessment


Explanation:
I've checked with a subject-matter expert in this field (a Swede) who worked for Naturvårdsverket and now works at the U.N. on environmental projects. He suggests "feasibility assessment." He said it's not really a question of this being "reasonable" but rather "doable." You might want to double-check the many Google hits on "environmental feasibility assessment" to see if this suits your context.
