In all its activities EUMETSAT is striving for excellence and is aiming at constant improvements in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.

Je ne connais que "efficacité" en français pour traduire ces 2 termes, mais là il faut bien que je les distingue.
Merci pour vos suggestions.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): df49f (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Versus C'est juste un ajout de ma part. Rien à voir avec le texte d'origine.
C'était seulement pour mettre en opposition ces deux termes.
Drmanu49 Jun 3, 2006:
Is "versus" in your initial sentence?
It seems complementary and not in opposition.

According to the definition:

Efficiency vs. Effectiveness: Definition

(Second in a nine-part series about the concept of Efficiency vs. Effectiveness and some possible measures to help you determine whether the job you are hiring for is one or the other.)

Yesterday I talked about the “Efficiency vs. Effectiveness” framework.

The first question that must be asked of any requisition is whether it requires a focus on efficiency or effectiveness. These two metrics are often mutually exclusive: You can either get it fast or get it right, but you can rarely get both at the same time.

Efficiency is a measure of speed and cost. Efficiency says “Getting someone in here right away is more important than getting the right person later.” Effectiveness is a measure of quality and goodness. Effectiveness says the opposite: “Hiring the right person is more important than hiring someone right away.”
