French term or phrase: Pris(e) dans sa spécificité
La privatisation de cette entreprise a été conçue par le gouvernement britannique comme un test de popularité des plans de privatisation . Il a été envisagé, comme dans le cas des privatisations des entreprises d'énergie (Power Gen et National Power) en mars 1995, qu'un tiers des actions de Railtrack serait mis à la disposition des épargnants individuels. Prise dans sa spécificité, cette mesure revêt un caractère exceptionnel car jusqu'au lancement de cette procédure de privatisation, seuls les investisseurs institutionnels avaient obtenu la possibilité d'acquérir des parts dans les précédents démembrements de BR privatisés.

Hi thanks to both of you for the answers. I have to dismiss the first answer as this was the first operation of privatisation and therefore was so unique. However, it might fit in another context.
As for CMJ's answer, I find it spot on!!!! Thanks.
