French to English Bus/Financial Automotive / Cars & Trucks Audit and financial report
La mobilisation des créances est principalement composée par des créances Dailly non encore payées par les clients, celles-ci ont beaucoup baissé en 2006. Cette baisse est liée à la diminution de l’activité « étude et outillage » en 2006, car les créances d’étude et outillage présentent la majorité des créances cédées en Dailly.

I keep changing my mind on this... it's a set type of activity, which I had translated as investigation and outfitting, studies and equipment, I don't think outillage here is tools...

design and tooling

'étude' should mean 'design' in this case. They design parts and build the specific tools to make such parts. What do you think?
