English translation: within your purview

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Spanish term or phrase: en la faz de su competencia
I am stuck with the phrase 'en la faz de su competencia' - full sentence: 'Se remiten los presentes actuados para su intervención en la faz de su competencia,'

It's part of an import/export license.

My attempt feels too literal:

'These documents are sent for your intervention in the face of your competence...'

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Explanation:
Following others, perhaps one of these may be an option.

PURVIEW
an area within which someone or something has authority, influence, or knowledge.
*The case is within the court's purview.
*That question is outside/beyond my purview.
https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/purview#:~:text=: an a...

en la faz de su competencia = "... as this falls within your purview / prerogative / remit" or "in light of this falling ..."

I also wonder if "prerogative" might not also be useful in this context.

prerogative
1: an exclusive or special right, power, or privilege

neutral  AllegroTrans: This sounds like "because he is capable and experienced" and it doesn't work; "comptencia/competence" can amount to false friends // because it suggests "capability" especially with your "given his" wording

in the liight -of your authority


Explanation:
Despite constant appeals for more context, further disclosure again might well be in breach of agency and end-client confidentiality.

'These records drawn up are being forwarded for your action/ing in the light > within the ostensible bounds - of your authority' -> OK, factor in remit or purview.



Example sentence(s):
  • Ostensible authority (also referred to as apparent authority) is a category of legal relationship between a principal and an agent.

agree  patinba: "in those matters within your remit" is an English-sounding phrase, unlike anything that includes the word "competence"

  -> Many thanks Liz! ;-)
neutral  philgoddard: Couldn't it mean 'where within your competence/remit'? I'm not sure we have enough context to know exactly what this phrase means.
1 hr
  -> I've seen this a few times, and it means "as this falls within your competence/authority" or similar.
neutral  Andrew Bramhall: PG's idea of 'where within your remit' sounds most convincing here;
12 hrs
  -> within your competence is more commonly used.
neutral  ormiston: Someone should post 'remit': Someone's remit is the area of activity which they are expected to deal with, or which they have authority to deal with. [British] That issue is not within the remit.. / 'as they are' sounds like an unfounded assumption
16 hrs
  -> Competence is clearer in terms of the authority to deal with a matter. / No, 'as they are/as they fall' within your competence is standard legal terminology.
