"XXXXXXX [company name], initialement YYYYYY [previous name of company], ne semble pas avoir exercé d'activités depuis sa création. ***Il est interpellant de constater qu'une nouvelle société soit, quelques mois après sa création et avant tout exercice d'activité, renommée en vue d'une nouvelle mission, sans adaptation de son objet social en conséquence"
This is a diplomatic issue above all.
My client is company XXXXXXXX.
I understand the basic meaning of the word "interpellant", but should I say "notable", "surprising", "it raises questions/issues". etc.? It's a question of the strength of the term more than the basic meaning of it.
