Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s)
French term or phrase: à intervenir
Can anyone help me with the meaning of 'à intervenir' in this sentence, i.e. whether it refers to the 'assemblée générale' or to the 'exercices'?
(Context: debt forgiveness agreement).
"D'un commun accord entre les parties, le retour à meilleure fortune consistera dans l'apurement complet des déficits fiscaux ordinaires, et de celui des amortissements réputés différés, constaté par l'assemblée générale ordinaire d'approbation des comptes annuels des exercices à intervenir."

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: 1- years ahead ; 2-Cf Cécilia's note - "exercise à intervenir" maybe, but the original refers to the approval of annual a/c of years to come. Lose nothing in meaning and gain in clarity by dropping translation of the word "exercise".
