Explanation:
The late linguist and translator, Prof. Peter Newmark: 'every word in the source text needs to be accounted for'.

Sometimes in an agency context: strumentalità > nomineeship.

Note the spelling of complementary (otherwise translatable as overlapping) and not complimentary.

Example sentence(s):
  • Italian VAT on companies: they must perform the same core business and economic activities, or, alternatively, the activities must be complementary, ancillary and auxiliary with respect to the other group members (economic link)-
