Spanish term

parada de reloj

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Medical (general)
Tal como se indica en el documento 'Instrucciones para la realización de ensayos clínicos en
España', entre el 23 de diciembre y el 7 de enero habrá una parada de reloj en todos los
plazos aplicables tanto a la AEMPS y CEIm como al promotor durante ese periodo, salvo que
previamente a la solicitud se haya pactado con la AEMPS y el CEIm que la evaluación pueda
llevarse a cabo sin esa parada de reloj.

I appreciate it but that is not necessary and would be tremendously unfair to Julieta.
I am glad we were able to clear up the misunderstanding.
Best regards
spanruss (asker) Dec 1, 2016:
The fault for the misunderstanding was mine in not expressling myself clearly. I do appreciate your help. Please put your suggestion back up. I will select it and I am grateful for all the help you have given over the years.
lorenab23 Dec 1, 2016:
Yes, yes on top of everything I am now dumb, how did I not get from your comments that you were agreeing with my answer and will choose it after 24 hours:
Asker: I do have ". . . the clock will stop . . ." temporarily unless someone comes up with something better.
After posting additional references and explaining that this is the term, is not something I made up, you again (like I was being dense)
Asker: I do have ". . . the clock will stop . . ." temporarily unless someone comes up with something better
The classy thing to do would be to say that this was a misunderstanding (instead of putting it on me) and that you apologize (to a colleague who has actually helped you a number of times throughout the years)
Happy Holidays!
spanruss (asker) Dec 1, 2016:
You completely misunderstood that. I was merely stating that I agreed with your suggestion and that, if nobody came up with anything better, I was going to choose it after the 24-hour period.
lorenab23 Dec 1, 2016:
ok spanruss Since you want something "better" than the coined term "clock-stop" (backed by ample references) I have removed my answer.
Have a great evening!

clock-stop

A general idea of what a clock-stop is
"A period of time during which further information can be requested, such as supplementary documentation to be submitted by the applicant"
Example sentence:

"The maximum time taken by FAMHP to give an opinion is 15 days for monocentric phase I clinical trials and 28 days for all other clinical trials with a possible clock-stop of maximum one month"

Peer comment(s):

agree Joseph Tein : Nice examples. As previously mentioned, there is ample online support for this term.

agree lorenab23 : I posted this same answer (which I later removed) 4 hours ago but the asker told me that he was waiting for somebody to come up with something better, hope you don't get the same comment :-)

I'm so sorry Lorena, I didn't read your answer. I don't know what the Asker is looking for, but you were right about the term.
agree Muriel Vasconcellos : Too bad about Lorena's answer. I don't know what the Asker could be looking for that would be 'better'.

agree Charles Davis : This is the term used by all those in the field. All alternatives are worse, not better.

Don't know if it's "better" but it certainly sounds sort of snappy and foreboding at once...

-> "a time when a vital decision or decisive change must be made" (such as synchronizing clocks/watches)
Peer comment(s):

neutral Joseph Tein : Not what is meant. See for example: "The EC ... can stop a timeline for a set period (clock stop) if they have questions/suggestions regarding a submission. "
