general average adjustment : When a general average act has taken place it is the duty of the shipowner to arrange for the adjustment to be drawn up. He selects an Average Adjuster and jointly they set up a Trust Fund of the deposits secured from the interested parties. The adjuster draws up the adjustment, which due to complexities may, in some cases, take a year or more. 2, record 1, English, - adjustment

Leur travail consiste à évaluer, d'une part, les dommages admissibles en avarie commune, pour en former une masse appelée masse créancière [...]; à calculer, d'autre part, la contribution incombant à chacun de ceux dont les intérêts étaient unis au moment de l'événement, pour en former une autre masse égale à la première, la masse débitrice, [...] et à appliquer celle-ci à l'autre pour solder le compte. 1, record 1, French, - dispache

While certain characteristics of each consultant trust fund differ, in general terms the consultant trust funds are a means of furthering dialogue and collaboration between CIDA and the Multilateral Development Banks(MDBs) and exposing Canadian expertise to the MDBs. Overall administration and management of the consultant trust funds rests with the MDB itself based on guidelines to which it has agreed with CIDA. This includes identification of possible assignments, and selection and contracting of consultants. Rates of untying vary; the trust fund at the Asian Development Bank is completely untied, but the common rate of untying is to allow 25 percent of our contributions to be used to finance consultants from borrowing member countries or from donor countries who maintain similarly untied trust funds at the MDBs. 1, record 4, English, - Canadian%20Consultants%20Trust%20Funds

Bien que certaines caractéristiques des fonds fiduciaires pour les services de consultants canadiens diffèrent, les fonds servent généralement à renforcer le dialogue et la collaboration entre l'ACDI et les banques multilatérales de développement (BMD) à faire profiter ces dernières de l'expertise canadienne. L'administration et la gestion globales des fonds incombent à la BMD même, qui se conforme aux directives établies de concert avec l'ACDI, entre autres pour la désignation des affectations possibles, ainsi que la sélection des consultants et la passation des marchés. Le taux de déliement varie; le fonds fiduciaire à la Banque asiatique de développement est entièrement délié, mais le déliement doit habituellement permettre d'utiliser 25 p. 100 de nos contributions pour financer des consultants de pays membres emprunteurs ou de pays donateurs qui gèrent des fonds fiduciaires déliés semblables au sein de BMD. 1, record 4, French, - Fonds%20fiduciaires%20des%20consultants%20canadiens
