Danish term or phrase: kost-ægte vs omkostningsægte
Hi - I would just like to verify whether both terms are equivalent, omkostningsægte = cost-oriented, but I'm not able to find any reference for kost-ægte other than "cost-true". Examples are


Tariffer bør også i et vist omfang tage hensyn til samfundsøkonomi i bred forstand (og ikke kun hensyn til kost-ægte og effektiv udnyttelse af nettets kapacitet).

Det vil dog hverken være omkostningsægte eller ikke-diskriminerende at graduere enkelte kunders tarifbetaling efter deres prisfølsomhed, med mindre det kan relateres til, at disse kunder af den årsag giver anledning til færre omkostninger end andre kunder.

Thanks for your help!

Explanation:
cost-effective vs. cost-oriented

your context:

Tariffs should also take into account to a certain extent socio-economics in a broad sense (and not just the cost-effective and efficient use of the network's capacity).

However, modifying individual customers' tariff payments according to their price sensitivity will be neither cost-oriented nor non-discriminatory unless these payments can be related to these customers generating less costs than other customers.
