Spanish term or phrase: Expediente administrativo
Hi everyone,

The full sentence is: Las empresas en cuestión son titulares de los expedientes administrativos relativos a los Proyectos Solares.

I see that this is just translated as "administrative file", which just sounds like a literal translation, but perhaps the one needed?

Thanks,
Nick

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, everyone. Further in the document, they do state that the owner is giving them a 12-year rent-free period to apply for the necessary administrative and environmental permits, and then also state that the lessee must apply for a building permit (licencia de obra). I'm thinking "expedientes" might just refer to all the documents they need to obtain these. Any thoughts?

Administrative Record(s)


Explanation:
Administrative records are internal acts of the Administration that aim to provide services developed by an entity, body or agency.... such acts cannot bind the Administration in grants and contracts with the administrators, appoint or dismiss employees, create charges or rights for individuals or employees.

Examples of administrative records are the forwarding of documents to the authority that has the power to decide on merits; the formalization of a process filed by a private individual and the registration of a process in the computer systems of a public agency.

BrE: Planning application


Explanation:
I came close to agreeing with Shilpa B's answer, except in my experience, 1 expediente is a case or application, 2 planning permission is the UK term used and 3 building permit is US Am.or Can.

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: Administrative law [POLITICS > executive power and public service] EP es expediente administrativo EP en official status file
  • Preparación del expediente de licencia de construcción para su registro por el propietario de obra. cecia.com Preparation of the planning permission application to be filed by the owner.

neutral  AllegroTrans: Putting this intop asker's sentence means the companies (developing solar installations) *hold* the planning applications; surely they would be held by the authority concerned?
