failure

Esimerkkilauseet

Such an approach would lead to failure.

The criteria for identifying failure are essentially subjective.

I do not believe that failure is an option.

Such failure has left many countries poorer today.

I regard this entire law - making exercise as a failure.

wrinkle

shortcoming

Esimerkkilauseet

However, the original project did not set out a list of priorities, a major shortcoming.

This would be a serious shortcoming if it were true to this extent.

dearth

lack

Esimerkkilauseet

It showed a lack of vision and a lack of respect, from what one can see.

We all know that there is still a lack of information and a lack of acceptance.

Its lack of imagination and lack of ambition are amazing.

There is a lack of alternatives, a lack of constructive debate.

2170 This is due to a lack of coordination and a lack of convergence in terms of social protection.

blemish

defect

Esimerkkilauseet

But that is not a defect for us; on the contrary, it is a good idea.

I consider that this is a serious defect and that, in principle, it does not befit our legal system.

drawback

Esimerkkilauseet

That is the drawback with this variation.

Public consultation was not a drawback; it accelerated the proceedings.

We believe that this is a major drawback in the present proposals.

flaw

Esimerkkilauseet

I see this as a major flaw in the whole programme.

Another flaw in the procedure is its lack of flexibility.

Nor can it be said that this is a small flaw in a quite different framework.

I think that is a major flaw in current practice in this area.

The report's only flaw is its call for an alliance between science and the armaments industry.

mistake

Esimerkkilauseet

Further delays would be a mistake.

That was a very bad mistake.

39818 That was a serious mistake.

You have made a mistake in this case.

A slapdash enlargement would obviously be a great mistake.

snag

Esimerkkilauseet

Although here again there is a snag: your legislation on excise duty.

weakness

Esimerkkilauseet

A good dose of hypocrisy is needed to overlook our weakness today.

It may have been our weakness and lack of credibility which led to the war.

The first crucial weakness is the lack of harmonisation.

Allow me to draw your attention to another weakness.

That is the strength, but also the weakness, of this document.

error

Esimerkkilauseet

The error rate should be made explicit so that targets can be set for getting the error rate down.

This a serious translation error.

There was a translation error.

Every execution is an error.

An error with excess taxation.

fault

Esimerkkilauseet

A fault confessed is half redressed.

It is a fault to the coolant circuit only.

So the fault does not lie with you.

The railways'   organisational structure is also at fault.

In every other area, you find fault with us.

impairment

Esimerkkilauseet

In my opinion, what is at issue here is an unnecessary impairment of public health.

imperfection

malady
