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.

Michael Beijer (asker) Aug 2, 2016:
further on in the text the author writes: "De leveringen zullen conform zijn met de specificaties vermeld in Bijlage C."

So it's clear that "hernomen in" just means "vermeld in".
katerina turevich Aug 1, 2016:
@Michael yes, you're right. every context with it's own use.
however, in your context active voice would sound better, or it doesn't matter as I mentioned above.
Michael Beijer (asker) Aug 1, 2016:
@katerina: There are gazillions of cases where passive would sound much better. Forcing everything into the active voice can have ridiculous results in certain types of writing.
katerina turevich Aug 1, 2016:
I would insist on the active voice as preferable
but I don't want to get into a lengthy discussion
not to mention that nobody expects EU documents to be examples of stylistic perfection.
It does make the sentence shorter.
Michael Beijer (asker) Aug 1, 2016:
I can't win, can I? If I don't provide information on what I have so far, writeaway complains.
If I do provide information on what I have so far, Barend complains (and in this case, writeaway too).

;-)
Michael Beijer (asker) Aug 1, 2016:
I don't particularly like "appear" much (prefer my own suggestions), but don't think it's incorrect (as per writeaway's neutral). I don't think the Belgian Dutch term "hernemen" has a specific enough meaning for "appear" to be wrong.

Also agree with writeaway that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the passive voice. That's just something certain English teachers, and maybe MS Word's grammar checker, used to insist on.
Michael Beijer (asker) Aug 1, 2016:
or "are set out in Appendix X" (= my current favourite)

I think in these documents the fact that it is 'repeated/mentioned again' doesn't really matter
Peer comment(s):

agree Barend van Zadelhoff : I would just say 'included', thay are just dumped there as they are. Agree no need to make a mountain out of a molehill here. // Every situation is unique, you cannot use this as a general rule.
