Antonia  +  131729 Mon, 29 Aug 05 09:46 AM Can you please tell me if it is OK in the sentence: During negotiation it is necessary to make sure that in return for our concessions we always get what is approximately close to that/their value, as well as not to accept what does not suit us or what we would never accept in more relaxed circumstances.

	Waïti  +  131787 Mon, 29 Aug 05 02:02 PM 'we always get'... Maybe 'we always obtain' if you want to be more formal ? 'that/their' I think it has to be 'their value'. '... as well as not to...' I sense it should be constructed the same as the previous part, so '... as well as do not accept...' since it is intended to complement 'we always...' : we always get... and we always do not accept...

	MrPedantic  +  135342 Fri, 09 Sep 05 12:24 AM An alternative: During negotiations we must ensure that we get a good return for our concessions. We must also reject anything that does not suit us, or that we would not accept in more favourable circumstances.
