French term or phrase: PP
This comes from an informal memo about business plans for the upcoming year. I think PP might be a brand name as other brand names in the memo are represented by similar acronyms, but I could always be wrong. There isn't a lot to go on.

Je lis aussi dans le commentaire d’A que ce serait pour baisser les dépenses car le retour sur investissement en 2006 serait bas pour [brand name].

Je lis dans votre commentaire plutôt une raison de claim et de visa PP.

Vous me demandez si je suis d’accord.

J’avoue avoir un peu de mal à faire le lien entre la stratégie annoncée et les plans d’actions.

Thanks!

Explanation:
It means something is not actually signed by the person whose name appears (the director, for example) but by a person of lesser rank who has authorisation to do so. I think this fits your context as "visa" means signature.
