French term

acheteur-revendeur

French to English Law/Patents Retail Tobacco industry
Il faut à cet égard rappeler qu'en métropole le tabac, en application notamment de l'article 568 du code général des impôts, ne peut être vendu que par les débitants de tabac ou les titulaires du statut d'acheteur-revendeur ou par l'intermédiaire de revendeurs qui sont tenus de s'approvisionner en tabacs manufacturés exclusivement auprès des débitants.

I am trying to make the right distinctions between all the above-mentioned players in this paragraph. If the 'debitants de tabac' are tobacconists, and the 'revendeurs' (I imagine) are retailers, what would the correct term be in this context for 'acheteur-revendeur' - wholesaler?

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.

buyer-reseller

In metropolitan France the monopoly on the retail sale of tobacco products is held by the department of customs and indirect taxes department, which operates through licensed retailers who act as its agents, through buyer-resellers or through resellers (article 5 of Act No. 76-448 of 24 May 1976; article 568 of the General Tax Code).

En effet, en métropole, le monopole de vente au détail du tabac est confié à l'administration des douanes et droits indirects, qui l'exerce par l'intermédiaire des débitants désignés comme ses préposés et tenus à redevance, des titulaires du statut d'acheteur-revendeur ou des revendeurs (article 5 de la loi 76-448 du 24 mai 1976 ; article 568 du Code Général Impôts).

Thanks, David
agree philgoddard : I would keep it literal as it's a law that's being cited.

Thanks, Timothy
neutral writeaway : don't agree with reseller. a revendeur is a retailer. see any dictionary/ a reseller of cigarettes? context matters. I don't see any URL to the ref posted and even that mentions retailers

Thanks for your comment, but "buyer-reseller" is how it had been translated in the UN text I quoted from in my post
agree Yvonne Gallagher : I'm convinced!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks - yes, I did come across buyer-reseller but it didn't initially sound right to me... but I am now convinced that this is the accepted term. Many thanks for your reference. "

buyer-seller

The "re" can also be applied to "seller", but usually the occupational title does not carry it.
