structures de contrôle


Explanation:

En réalité, c'est un terme dont le dégré de spécialisation n'est pas élevé. Toutes fois, de façon générale, le mot "contrôle" est plus usité que "surveillance". Par conséquent, si l'on s'en tient à la fréquence d'utilisation, on est plus en sécurité si on rend ce terme par "structures de contrôle", "agences de contrôle", "organisme de contrôle" ou tout autre " X de contrôle" dont le choix peut être plus ou moins guidé par le contexte immédiat du texte.
