English term or phrase: Efficiency Vs effectiveness
In all its activities EUMETSAT is striving for excellence and is aiming at constant improvements in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.

Je ne connais que "efficacité" en français pour traduire ces 2 termes, mais là il faut bien que je les distingue.
Merci pour vos suggestions.

Explanation:
According to the definition:

Efficiency vs. Effectiveness: Definition

(Second in a nine-part series about the concept of Efficiency vs. Effectiveness and some possible measures to help you determine whether the job you are hiring for is one or the other.)

Yesterday I talked about the “Efficiency vs. Effectiveness” framework.

The first question that must be asked of any requisition is whether it requires a focus on efficiency or effectiveness. These two metrics are often mutually exclusive: You can either get it fast or get it right, but you can rarely get both at the same time.

Efficiency is a measure of speed and cost. Efficiency says “Getting someone in here right away is more important than getting the right person later.” Effectiveness is a measure of quality and goodness. Effectiveness says the opposite: “Hiring the right person is more important than hiring someone right away.”
