Law/Patents - Accounting / accounting
French term or phrase: due concurrence
X a privé à due concurrence Y ...

one company is depriving another à due concurrence,
does it mean "equal share" or what?
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X)
accordingly
Explanation:
this was tough - it is an English phrase, but >90% of the hits in Google are for French language material. Finally found a bilingual (French/English) document put out by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, where the phrase apppeared:

Ce point est souligné dans la contribution de la Finlande. En Italie, lorsqu'une partie des obligations de service public de l'opérateur national public (la RAI) a fait l'objet d'une adjudication au profit d'un autre opérateur, l'Autorité antitrust italienne a fait valoir que la subvention accordée à la RAI devait être réduite à due concurrence ; Un fonds destiné à subventionner la production d'oeuvres cinématographiques et télévisuelles existe en Norvège. La République tchèque mentionne aussi l'existence d'un fonds similaire.

This point is emphasised in the submission from Finland. In Italy, when a part of the public service obligations of the national public service broadcaster (RAI) was tendered out to another broadcaster, the Italian Antitrust Authority argued that the subsidy to RAI should be reduced accordingly. Norway maintains such a fund for subsidising film and broadcast television production. The Slovak Republic also mentions a similar fund.

This fits my context but the last answer given is also good though not in my context. It also means to make an amount equivalent to another amount. It's one of those real hard terms and changes with context!

agree  Buzzy: This is the idea, and if a figure has already been mentioned, then probably X has deprived Y up to the level/amount referred to
