など after verb phrase


The first sentence below is just for context.The second is where my problems
lie.

> 日産は、工場から日本の店に車を出すのをしばらく止めると発表しました。  
>  Nissan announced that, for a while, it will stop sending cars, from the
> factories _where the safety inspectors are unqualified_ , to Japanese shops.  
>  そして、車の検査をする場所には資格がある人以外 **入る** ことができないようにする **など** 、同じ問題が起こらないようにする方法を考えます。  
>  And, they will make sure that no one who isn't qualified can enter the
> places where the cars are inspected など they are thinking of ways to make
> sure that the same problem won't happen.

I have three problems with my translation of the second sentence. Point 1 is
my main problem but I'm uncomfortable about the other two points.

  1. I Have no idea how など is supposed to link these two parts. Is this a bit like たり?
  2. 入る has no subject. Am I right to assume it is just an implied 'no one', or have I mis-parsed the clause?
  3. The final clause feels incomplete. I would expect words like 'again' or 'in the future'.




> 「そして、車{くるま}の検査{けんさ}をする場所{ばしょ}には資格{しかく}がある人以外{ひといがい} **入る** ことができないようにする
> **など** 、同{おな}じ問題{もんだい}が起{お}こらないようにする方法{ほうほう}を考{かんが}えます。」
>
>   1. I Have no idea how など is supposed to link these two parts.
>

「など」 is used to give an example of the 「同じ問題が起こらないようにする方法」.

To translate that sentence, therefore, you would need to _**drastically**_
change the word order into something like:

" **To make sure that the same problem won't happen, Nissan will consider
measures, such as allowing no one who isn't qualified to enter the places
where the cars are inspected**."

> Is this a bit like たり?

Only in the sense that both 「など」 and 「たり」 can be used to exemplify things,
yes. 「たり」, however, is far more informal than many J-learners seem to think.
In addition, the two words follow two different verb forms -- 「～～ **する** など」
and 「～～ **し** たり」. Thus, the two words are _**not**_ interchangeable.

>   2. 入る has no subject. Am I right to assume it is just an implied 'no one',
> or have I mis-parsed the clause?
>

It has a _**clear**_ subject in 「資格がある人以外」= "those who are not qualified". So,
your TL is fine there.

>   3. The final clause feels incomplete. I would expect words like 'again' or
> 'in the future'.
>

It is complete for the Japanese-speaking brain. The use of 「同じ」 suggests that
it happened once. "Again" or "in the future" is implied here.
