prises en charge

English translation: benefits in kind

11:55 Feb 15, 2012
French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
French term or phrase: prises en charge
Taken from a 'Statement of integrity' made by the bidder to a supply contract.

Le partenaire co-contractant s'interdit de promettre d'offrir ou d'accorder à un agent public, directement ou indirectement, soit pour lui-meme ou pour une autre personne ou entité, des cadeaux, des voyages d'information ou de formation, des PRISES EN CHARGE ... etc. ou tout autre avantage quel que soit sa nature ou sa valeur, dans le but de faciliter ou de privilégier le traitement de son dossier au détriment de la concurrence loyale.

'Prises en charge' is obviously some kind of benefit or payment but I can't find the precise meaning anywhere!

  -> I have to admit I didn't look very closely at it, Kashew. I googled the FR + EN terms together and it came up first. So it just confirmed my own thoughts.

neutral  kashew: in kind usually means en nature, so I really think now this is your explanation but not the proposed translation ;-)

agree  philgoddard: I think this is a good alternative to kashew's answer - coverage of expenses is a benefit in kind.

engagement?


Explanation:
Ne peut-on pas parler simplement d'engagement, dans le sens d'une promesse? Ou encore ne pourrait-il pas s'agir d'"avantages"?

reimbursements (for hotels, airfare, gas/petrol, etc)


Explanation:
Hello,


While I agree in principle with Kashew, I think this may be more contextually appropriate word. Normally, in a business set-up, the person is reimbursed for expenses (they have to fork out the money out of their pocket first).

Also, when you're talking about medical expenses in Sécurité Sociale" in France, "prises en charges" are usually translated as "reimbursements".


I hope this helps.

disagree  rkillings: Not here. A cash payment directly to the recipient of the unwarranted expenditure would be counted as a gift (= bribe). Too traceable anyway.

  -> I suppose. I didn't see it that way (wasn't thinking that clearly). Have a nice day. I might say "offers to handle expenses" (related to "voyages d'information, etc_.
