Dutch term

N.V.E.

Dutch to English Marketing Other abbreviation
Very little context; appears in a Belgian list of NACE codes in the following context:

TUINBOUW N.V.E.

For what it's worth, the equivalent French entry is 'Horticulture N.D.A.', and the Dutch entries in the list appear to have been translated from the French entries.

...that should be 'n.s.e.' as the alternative English abbreviation.
Ken Cox (asker) Sep 5, 2005:
Sorry, meant to make a comment. No need to wait 24 hours; this is evidently the right explanation (and Fionna's surmise appears to be correct; in at least one other location the translation 'N.E.G.' is used, and in some places 'overige' is used). The Dutch is anyhow less than brilliant (e.g. 'Fabrieken van....' for 'Production de/du...'). Incidentally, I also found the equivalent abbreviation 'n.e.s.' in English.

I don't know what NVE stands for but the (Canadian) reference gives NDA in French version and NES in english version. With Google define:NES gives the meaning above which seems to make sense.

agree FionaT : NDA = non dénommé ailleurs,so maybe NVE is just a literal translation (too literal): "niet vermeld elders" (instead of niet elders vemeld), in which case you're right about the English.

May all be right, but after all I think that Lotte is right (see my comment there). I would ask confirmation from the client since both options are possible here

Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : in a horticultural context?

neutral Titia Meesters : Maybe right, the ref site states that in Belgium the NVE represents the general interests of the whole agriculture and horticulture sector in Belgium.
