Rogatory Commission

I believe that the expression Rogatory Commission is widely used and needs not be substituted for Letters except for specific cases. Three examples:

"Se iniciaron en el año 1996 con las solicitudes que realizábamos a otros países a través de la Comisión Rogatoria Internacional, a través de Interpol. En el año 1997 teníamos solamente solicitudes a 4 países

International Convention for the Suppression of the Circulation of and Traffic in Obscene Publications
Article 3

"The transmission of rogatory commissions relating to offences falling under the present Convention shall be effected either:"

It is not requisite to the issuance of a commission or a letter rogatory that the taking of the deposition in any other manner is impracticable or inconvenient and both a commission and a letter rogatory may be issued in proper cases.

Commission rogatoire

The term in English is the same as the French one. This is also the case for example when talking of the "acquis communautaire" for countries joining the EU.
