Eu as fi atenta cu utilizarea variantei "opportunities" pentru ca - asa cum, de altfel, este si in limba română - nu are deloc sensul de "măsuri. In plus, nu exista decat o singura referinta pentru utilizarea sintagmei ca atare, si aceea nu stiu daca este scrisa de vorbitori nativi. Sensul lui "opportunity" este clar in limba engleza http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/opportunity Daca in text este vorba despre masuri, atunci este "actions".

Masuri de combatere :)

Ar fi interesant de stiut la ce se refera exact acel "oportunitati" - daca exista o clarificare in text. Este folosit cu sensul de "masuri" sau de "posibilitati"?
