***Titular de la actividad*** (quien pretenda desarrollarla)

Declaración responsable de inicio y ejercicio de actividad permanente inocua (Modelo normalizado por el Ayuntamiento


I know that this just means "the person who will be carrying out the activity" but I'm quite sure there must be something snappier and more appropriate that I could use. I just can't think of it, and could really use your help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kate Very thoughtful of you , I'll do that then :)
Kate Major Patience (asker) Jul 6, 2011:
Lisa Just came back to this, and I did indeed use "person carrying out activity" or something similar. So if you want to post an answer, it's your suggestion I used.
Simon Bruni Jun 27, 2011:
process owner... ... is a common collocation in business English.
Lisa McCarthy Jun 27, 2011:
Hi Kate If you can´t find anything snappier you could just shorten it to 'person carrying out activity'.

Person responsible for the activity

'titular' is a moveable feast of a word depending on context. This would do I think.

Peer comment(s):

agree Simon Bruni : owner is widely used in business to denote the person responsible for a particular activity or process within an organisation, but it's not really a legal issue, it's just task allocation jargon.

Indeed. Thank you Simon!
neutral AllegroTrans : I don;t think "ownership" comes into this, it's just a person who can take responsibility

I am not sure sure at all, that is why I put "owner", otherwise it could be any Tom, Dick or Harry.
