neutral  philgoddard: Yes, it is in the glossary already, and the asker should have checked, but I don't agree with this translation - it's way too far away from what the French says. Also, "de facto agreement" sounds like a contradiction in terms.

neutral  writeaway: the French use the same word (consortium). changing a group to a consortium without knowing the exact details may not be a great idea./do you have a specific ref? I can't find groupement translated as consortium/ anywhere/I lie 3 hits on IATE.
