Please provide the actual text you would like me to translate, and I will: 1. Preserve `CP 292` and any other protected tokens exactly as they appear 2. Preserve all URLs, law references, amounts, dates, citations, and placeholders 3. Apply your preferred glossary 4. Return only the translation — Non-compliance with decision
