Задание № 8. Переведите текст на русский язык:

- I don’t think that their claim is well-grounded. The delay was caused by that strike at the port. They won’t win if they refer their claim to arbitration. I think we should reject this claim.

- I’m not sure about that. I’ve just spoken to Mr. Klimenko, the Commercial Director of the company. He’s ignored all my remarks. They’re ready to start talking legal action to show that they’re serious.

- If they do that, we’ll have to get our lawyers in.

- I don’t think it’s a good idea, Mr. Rogers. They are going to place a large order with us next year. If we decline their claim, we may lose this order.

- How much do they want us to compensate for the delay?

- Approximately … pounds.

- Perhaps we shall offer them half the sum.

- That’s a good idea. I’ll try to settle it with Mr. Klimenko.

- Yes. But if they disagree, we’ll have to reject their claim … And negotiate a longer delivery time with them next year.
