disagree  juliebarba: It's clear from the context that it refers to a statutory director (full board member). Others nominated by the company are referred to as 'mandataire'. A trustee really isn't the same thing. It doesn't infer a managing director \have a lovely Christmas!

  -> Well, trustee is one of four options I included, but have a wonderful holiday season, in any event.

agree  Ian Wrentmore: Quite right. It is an SA.
