agree with Phil without more context we are just guessing

ratify? enact? enforce? effect? cause to be effected? put into force/effect? give force? give force and effect of law? etc.

Michael Beijer Nov 7, 2012:

following Barend... 'put something into effect' + 'put something into force'

def.: to make something take effect; to begin using or enforcing a policy or procedure.

e.g.: 'When will the city council put this law into effect? We will put it into force tomorrow.'

~ helaas zit 'vankrachtstellen' nog niet in de woordenboeken

Michael Beijer Nov 7, 2012:

or 'cause to come into force'

as in: '(...) unenforceability as before, GNWT shall have the right to enact and cause to come into force any law or regulation to provide for the same or substantially the (...)' (http://www.dot.gov.nt.ca/_live/documents/content/Schedule 9 ... )

Barend van Zadelhoff Nov 7, 2012:

my guess would be

putting into force / effect

Michael Beijer Nov 7, 2012:

hmm 'effecting' or 'causing to be effected' maybe?

'vankrachtwording' = 'coming into effect'; 'coming into force'; 'perfection of the order'
