Italian term

ci siamo assunti le “liability”

Italian to English Other Economics
Moretti ha detto che nella cessione di AnsaldoBreda e Ansaldo Sts alla giapponese Hitachi «Finmeccanica ha dato delle garanzie. Siccome la cessione è basata sul piano industriale che aveva fatto Ansaldo Sistemi, ci siamo assunti le “liability”, dando delle garanzie nel caso gli elementi di piano, in tre anni, non si realizzino. Altrimenti si tornava alla bad company, che non volevamo. Come dire: io garantisco, ma tu ti devi dare da fare».
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
