This body has a supervisory and regulatory role...It is not a Council, it actually has enforceable powers. And it\'s not services....the word supervisory is the translation for supérieur...

the press agencies control board


Explanation:
Considering what this body does (read following), it's job is clearly to control press agencies.

(1)
TERM Conseil supérieur

(1)
TERM Board of Governors 1) Rôle du CSMP

Légalement, le Conseil Supérieur des Messageries de Presse a une triple mission :

coordonner l'emploi des moyens de transport longue distance utilisés par les sociétés de messageries. Le CSMP doit, en effet, veiller à ce que les éditeurs puissent accéder aux différents moyens de transport quelle que soit leur importance afin de garantir l'égalité de traitement entre eux.
faciliter l'application de la loi. Le CSMP est en quelque sorte le garant du système de distribution en veillant au respect de la législation en vigueur. Il intervient régulièrement en tant qu'arbitre ou conciliateur en cas de difficultés d'application et d'interprétation de la réglementation.
assurer le contrôle comptable des sociétés de messageries par l'intermédiaire de son secrétariat permanent. Le CSMP veille au maintien de la participation majoritaire des coopératives d'éditeurs dans le capital des messageries de presse. En outre, il est nommé auprès de chaque coopérative un commissaire choisi parmi les membres du Conseil Supérieur. Celui-ci peut s'opposer à toute décision qui compromettrait l'équilibre financier de la société coopérative ou qui en altérerait le caractère coopératif. Ce commissaire peut également exercer ce même contrôle sur les sociétés de messageries.
