A) affiliated entity; B) affiliation Explanation: It could be simply "association", but for some reason the writer(s) use "asocijuotos struktūros" instead of "asociacija". A) If they're not associations... "Entity" is any organisation, company, body, even an individual. "Affiliated" is a somewhat abstract word that means that there is some kind of connection; these connections can be of different types within an industry (here: waste management), e.g., subcontractors, subsidiary companies, partners, consultants. Samples -- "Associates and Affiliated Entities [...] 4. There shall be provisions in the constitution of each College that one member of the governing body of the College shall be a person nominated by the Council." ( http://www.jcu.edu.au/policy/governance/associates/JCUDEV_01... ) Besides, if you're allowed to use less formal language, you could even simply use "<I>partner</I>", to reflect a somewhat broad spectrum of relationships. In some cases they might say that they are more than partners (subsidiaries), in some other cases they just exist along with each other (e.g., an industry association with the actual industry's companies). Finally, a very close example: "<B>Definition of affiliated entities</B>: (i) any subsidiary of the entity; (ii) any member of the same unitary business group; (iii) any non-profit organization established by the company or by an affiliated entity or affiliated person; or (iv) any political committee sponsored by the entity, or by a non-profit organization established by the company, an affiliated entity, or an affiliated person. For those agencies under the governor's control, the definition of affiliated entity extends to parent companies of the business entity. Since the state has not yet issued a definitive list of those agencies that fall under the governor's jurisdiction (and, based on informal conversations with state legal staff, we believe further guidance is not forthcoming), we recommend registering using the broader definition of affiliate in order to ensure compliance." http://www.foley.com/publications/pub_detail.aspx?pubid=5655 or http://tinyurl.com/ygetdsn B) It may mean various associations, but let's say for legal reasons you cannot call an unincorporated (unofficial) association an "association", therefore you use the oblique "asocijuotos struktūros", which matches the English word "affiliation": "<B>affiliation - A club, society or umbrella organisation so formed</B>, esp. a trade union." http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Affiliation Reference: http://www.foley.com/publications/pub_detail.aspx?pubid=5655 Reference: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Affiliation |
