Beatriz, yes, you have clearly indicated that this is a call for tenders. I still reckon that in this case it changes nothing as there has been a meeting at which reps have been present , unless the reference to "CE" procès-verbal refers to something mysterious which has gone before?!

Thank you Nikki...it's ok but honestly, I saw there were other entries but I didn't think they really really fit into my context, in all cases, that's why I asked. Thanks for trying to help out...actually I had mentioned it was for a call for tenders process/document so not for a meeting as such. That's why the usual term, minutes of meeting, which I obviously know, came up as a doubt in this context. Would we refer to that also in a Call for Tenders or not? Do u see my point now?..Thx Nikki and have a nice evening

Sorry if I have offended I appear to have caused offence and regret if that is the case. Beatriz. That is not my intention. There is no suggestion that you are stupid. Yes Kudoz is there for when you have doubts.
OK, let's see if I can express myself differently...
From the information you have posted, there are representatives who are described as being "present". In your more global context you may know what sort of meeting is concerned. In any event, from the extract provided, there is nothing to suggest any move away from an ordinary meaning (as I suugested earlier) thus an ordinary rendering of "procès-verbal" : minutes, record... depending on final reader, rest of text, other types of meetings in the overall context and country.

glossary, dictionaries (online and paper) Hello Beatriz,

I don't wish to sound harsh, but Writeaway is right. There are glossary entries and many sources to consult for this term. Nothing in your context suggests to me that there ia a particular problem is using one of the ordinary meanings you will find in ordinary sources.
