Usage question
Hello!
I have 2 questions for native speakers:
1- Can you use the word "claim" in the meaning of "requirement"?
The sentence in question is "According to new EU claims for CO2 reduction....."
This sounds strange to me.
2- Can you say "The qualification of implementing professionals is not high enough" ?
To me, it sounds wrong and I think there would need to be a context what they are implementing. This is from a German text and the word to be translated was "auführend". Maybe you could say "working professionals" or something like that.
Here we go, I would much appreciate your comments.
