English term

by the lower of three per cent

English to French Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Management agreement
The Management Fee for the first year will be fixed at 170 000 Euros, net of any tax. The fee is to be revised annually and shall be due annually before the end of the 12 month period following the Commencement Date. The Management Fee will be adjusted upwards on each 1st of January (for the first time on 1 January 2012) **by the lower of three per cent (3%)** or [the consumer price index for all households as published by the Belgian financial authorities of Statistics for the twelve (12) months preceding the adjustment date (the “Price Index”)].In the event that the Price Index is negative, the Management Fee shall not be adjusted. If the Price Index is discontinued, the Parties agree to use reasonable efforts to agree on a mutually agreeable index for adjusting the Management Fee.

J'avais pensé à "d'au moins 3%" mais je ne suis pas certaine que ce soit la bonne traduction.
Merci pour votre aide.

thanks for your explanations, but not really easy to find the appropriate formulation.
meirs Sep 22, 2011:
full phrase is (schematic) .. will be adjusted upwards ... by the lower between A and B
where:
A = three per cent (3%)
B = the consumer price index for all households as published by the Belgian financial authorities of Statistics for the twelve (12) months preceding the adjustment date (the “Price Index”)

In other words:
If B is lower than 3% - the adjustment is by the value of B
If B is higher than 3% - the adjustment is by 3%
If B is exactly 3% - the adjustment is by 3% (it does not matter, as A=B)

Attention au contresens : il faut lire ici ...by the lower of [3%] OR [price index], c'est-à-dire que c'est la valeur inférieure des deux (soit 3 %, soit l'indice des prix) qui sera prise en considération.

Merci !
agree Paul Hamelin : Absolument ! Pour une fois que c'est la valeur la moins élevée qui est appliquée comme augmentation, il ne faut pas faire de contresens et louper cette clause :)
