7 mins confidence: 
| levée des écarts removal of discrepancies Explanation: Something like that, I think. Levée is probably "lifting" in the sense of "removing", and "écarts" are probably differences or incorrect numerical values. |

peer agreement (net): +1| levée des écarts progress in rectifying inconsistencies Explanation: this is not financial....it means correcting what hitherto was not done right...I think it means to rectify inconsistencies in procedures people are supposed to follow...the progress made in doing so after the audit discovered them.. health and safety inconsistencies.. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 2 mins (2005-03-30 20:59:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It\'s a term used in the production of real things..on a production line..levee des ecarts....getting rid of worked pieces that are not up to snuff..but here..referring to the safety regulations, I think inconsistencies works better in English. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 4 mins (2005-03-30 21:01:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- if however, it does refer to actual things....then, industrial context: rate of progress in removing non-standard parts... those could be dangerous to workplace health and safety right> |
