Englisch-Dänisch Übersetzung für nettle

brændenælde
nældeMan har ikke fattet om en eneste nælde ved roden. Not a single nettle has been firmly grasped. Jeg ved, at det er Kommissionens holdning, at dette er et spørgsmål om subsidiaritet, men det er en nælde, som Unionen nødvendigvis må gribe om.

It is precisely because so many governments have failed to grasp the nettle of radical reform that the Lisbon process is in such dire straits.
