"ou" + la traduction par "and": "Ou" en tant que conjonction de coordination est bien ambiguë! Primo, emploi INCLUSIF, i.e. "ou" peut être remplacé par "et"! Secundo, emploi EXCLUSIF, i.e. "ou" peut être remplacé par "ou bien". Enfin, tertio, elle prend un sens ÉQUIVALENT, i.e. elle signifie "c'est-à-dire". [cf Grevisse, le bon usage; LRobert; Grammaires méthodiques etc] HERE: Both steps are required, i.e. "Complying with the regulations AND approval"! ERGO, <<The Plan must comply with (legal) regulations AND be approved!>>

I’m aware of this. But here it’s an exclusive « ou ». Soit on prescrit (= on dit ce qui DOIT être fait) soit on autorise (= on dit ce qui PEUT être fait). La chose est soit prescrite, soit autorisée.

"specify or authorize" / "specification or authorization" are common in contracts. Here "specify" doesn't always just mean "préciser", it means "supply specifications for", which involves the notion of "prescription": telling people what they should do, like a doctor prescribing a drug.

"ou" means "or" not "and"... approved and authorized mean substantially the same thing.

What you claim is nothing more than a basic translation of "ou". And there is nothing that says a document or other text is never redundant.

Besides, "approve" and "authorize" do not mean the same thing : "authorization" comes after "approval" : http://www.differencebetween.net/language/difference-between-approve-and-authorize/

But Barbara, prescrire doesn’t mean to approve.

That's correct, Martyn. In this case, "prescrit" would mean "authorized".

But prescrire doesn't mean to authorize either! When a doctor prescribes drugs, he's not authorizing you to take them, he's telling you it's what you should do. Even outside the medical context that's what prescrire means.

"Prescrire" can be translated as "mandated" or "ordered", in some cases. If you look at synonyms for "mandated" and "ordered", you will find that "authorized" is listed as one among others.
