French term or phrase: à due concurrence
Can anyone help me with a neat way of saying this please? The whole phrase is 'lorsque le cours du jour à la date de l'inventaire est inférieur au coût de revient, l'entreprise peut constituer une provision pour dépréciation des stocks à due concurrence'. Thanks
