Legal Usage of Complete (to Complete) in English

An European Commission document offers the following explanation about the misused of Complete (to Complete):To ‘complete’ means to finish, end or terminate. It therefore implies that whatever is being completed was somehow incomplete, unfinished, un-ended and in need of termination. In European Union texts, however, this word is often used to mean that something extra has been added to supplement something that, in itself, was actually complete beforehand.

Example

‘The French Republic, in July 2000, proposed a Regulation, to complete Regulation (EC) No 1347/2000, aimed at facilitating, through the abolition of exequatur, the exercise of crossborder rights of access in the case of children of divorced or separated couples, aged up to 16 years46.’
