English term or phrase: government-participated company
Bonjour,

Définition d'un "public official"

"(ii) an agency, department, office or instrumentality of a supranational, national, regional or local government, (iii) a government-owned or government-controlled or ***government-participated company***..."

Je comprends "government-participated company" ainsi "une société dans laquelle le gouvernement investit des fonds". Est-ce correct ?

Merci beaucoup !
