canon (in this context)

Spanish to English Other Journalism Informe de prensa
El diario El País (Ciudades, página B2), informa hoy entre sus noticias breves que la Coordinadora de Vecinos de Punta de Sayago presentará hoy ante las autoridades de Dinama las observaciones al resumen del estudio de impacto ambiental de la regasificadora, presentado por Gas Sayago.

Además, el Semanario Búsqueda (Desarrollo, página 21), afirma que la negociación por la regasificadora produjo cambios respecto a lo que pedía el pliego. Se asegura que "fuentes de [nombre de la empresa ganadora de la licitación]” dijeron a Búsqueda que las autoridades de la empresa se aprestan a aprobar el contrato y estiman que la firma definitiva se podría dar la semana que viene. La información agrega que el barco será más barato, pero la escollera más cara. El gobierno considera que la negociación fue excelente, porque logró, incluso, una rebaja del * canon *. Méndez informó que “el país se ahorró un total cerca de 100 millones de dólares como fruto de esta negociación”.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): philgoddard, Rosa Paredes

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Monica Por ahí te confundió lo del éxito de la "rebaja" para el gobierno, cuando casi siempre, pero no aquí, los cánones se pagan AL gobierno.
