such involving - as it does - (the new co. to be set up/ promoted complying with)
.... amounting to the outcome that ... is to comply with...
We may, for a change, be able to discount 'as soon as'.
This wording - including 'as it does', the latter working in my experience 9 times out of 10 as a stylistic trick, dodge or technique (maybe this is the 10th time unlucky) - also feasibly kills two birds, getting around Toni C's present vs. future subjunctive vs. indicative point, namely 'requiring .... to' would strictly need a subjunctive anyway cf. the London Tourist Board: 'you want that I should (me to) give you some informations in regards for sightseeing...'

Sorry, my post is a bit confusing, I meant to say that probably "in that" in this context seems the better option.

If you use "en cuanto que", then presente de indicativo is needed and correct (because you´re not speaking about a possibility, but about a fact, hence presente de indicativo). BUT: In this case your source has "presente de subjuntivo" ("cumpla"), which is quite contradictory and inconsistent with the sentence pattern. And this fact is that probably puzzles and annoys you (comprehensible!).
Try to analyse the sentence as I´ve suggested and then use your common sense for an accurate translation.
