French term or phrase: appel
In a report about setting up EU cross-border programmes. Context "On examinera plus en détail les programmes transfrontaliers concernant Pays A, Pays B et Pays C. Pour en présenter le contexte et les ressorts généraux, nous avons pris en compte le 1er (et seul) appel des relations bilatérales 2007-2013 entre Pays B et Pays A, et les 1er et 2e appels du programme bilatéral entre Pays A et Pays C." What exactly is the "appel" here? A proposition, or call in the sense of suggesting that the countries establish cross-border relations, or what? Any help much appreciated - thanks in advance!

agree  writeaway: it is call but not in the sense of proposals, which made me think this answer was wrong. it's not just EU speak either. Unless Asker can show it is call for tender.

  -> Thans writeaway.
agree  Colin Morley (X): I agree with writeaway - not EU speak. Simply a call to action IMO

  -> Thanks Colin.
agree  Lorraine Dubuc: demande? Ce n'est pas call for proposal à mon avis mais call rend bien appel

  -> Merci Lorraine.
neutral  philgoddard: I don't feel you've explained this, and I don't understand it. Calls for what? What are the proposals?

neutral  Daryo: a "call" lasting from 2007 to 2013? a proposal being debated from 2007 to 2013?

consideration


Explanation:
My guess would be that 'consideration' would be be closer to what the author of the text it trying to get at, because in the given test here there is no suggestion that anything is missing or asked for.

appel du programme bilatéral
cooperation cycle of the bilateral program


Explanation:
appel du programme bilatéral entre Pays A et Pays C.
=
1st / 2nd cooperation cycle of the bilateral program between countries X and Y
or
1st / 2nd project cycle of the bilateral program between countries X and Y (?)


le 1er (et seul) appel des relations bilatérales 2007-2013 entre Pays B et Pays A

les 1er et 2e appels du programme bilatéral entre Pays A et Pays C.

Literally “appel” is only about submitting proposals for cooperation projects in accordance with a bilateral program, but what is in fact meant is the whole "cycle" from submitting cooperation projects to conducting them to their conclusion ("appel des relations bilatérales 2007-2013")
This second bilateral program went through at least 2 “cooperation cycles”

"...
Cette rencontre participait aussi au développement du parcours commun du master conjoint de sociologie entre ces deux universités lancé en 2009 avec le soutien du Ministère français de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche et du Ministère des affaires européennes et internationales. Enfin le séminaire ambitionnait de susciter des propositions de projets au prochain appel du programme bilatéral franco-autrichien, le PHC Amadeus, dans une discipline scientifique encore peu présente dans ce programme. ..."

Types de projets concernés

L'objectif de ce programme est de développer les échanges scientifiques et technologiques d'excellence entre les laboratoires de recherche des deux pays, en favorisant les nouvelles coopérations.
Tous les domaines scientifiques, y compris les sciences humaines et sociales, sont concernés par ce programme. ..."
