Bus/Financial - Retail
French term or phrase: seuil de contrôle
En rendant plus contraignante la procédure d’autorisation d’ouverture de nouvelles surfaces commerciales avec un SEUIL DE CONTROLE fixé à 300 m2, elle a créé des barrières à l’entrée très efficaces qui ont fortement ralenti le développement de ce type de magasins.

Some sort of limit, does anyone know what kind?

Thanks in advance, Mary

Explanation:
Hello,

Is this what you're talking about? I'm not sure.

contrôle = inspection?

I hope this helps.

neutral  Tony M: Matt, the mere fact that a certain area is subject to controls doesn't /necessarily/ mean it will be inspected, so even though this /might/ be true, it would amount to over-interpretation in the absence of further info.

  -> Thanks, Tony! I'm very confused here. I would like to have more context to know if I'm wrong and learn something.

authorisation threshold


Explanation:
Not a literal translation, but this seems to be what it is:
" un nouveau seuil de contrôle des concentrations, spécifique aux entreprises actives dans le secteur du commerce de détail : ce seuil est inférieur aux seuils de droit commun ; il déclenche l’obligation de notifier le projet de rapprochement aux autorités de concurrence compétentes et impose d’attendre leur autorisation avant d’être mis en œuvre,

un assouplissement des règles d’urbanisme commercial, relevant de 300 à 1 000 m2 les seuils déclenchant l’exigence d’une autorisation d’implantation d’une surface commerciale."

and:

"distribution sector and the effect of competition on the development of the ...... stores, side-by-side, both just below the **authorisation threshold.** ..."
