French term or phrase: effets

I am battling with this word. The sentence is, mais aussi aux effets résultant de la renégociation ...

Linda Bellegarde

but also of the results/impact of the renegotiation

Explanation:
redundant

word for word it would translate as "the effects resulting from the renegotiation"

They mean the areas where there would be an impact on the outcome. "Results" or "impact" depending on where the emphasis is. The idea that there are several facets to the outcome is understood.

the preposition may vary depending on the rest of the sentence:

but also of the results of the renegotiation

consequences / receivables

Explanation:
Hi Linda,

depending on the precise context, it just means consequences, or the account of receivables in the balance sheet as you can see in the ref. below:

"CLIENTS ET EFFETS A RECEVOIR, NETS
Ceux-ci comprennent :

(en millions d'euros) 31/12/1999

Moins : provisions pour créances douteuses (191) (214) (116)

Les créances sur les concessionnaires, cédées aux sociétés de financement du groupe ont été exclues de ce poste et figurent au bilan consolidé à la rubrique "Créances de financement des ventes"

I hope it helps
