Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term or phrase:
sur la partie supérieure à ce plafond
English translation:
of the amount exceeding the ceiling
French term
sur la partie supérieure à ce plafond
"à hauteur de 26.93% de la rém. brute mensuelle limitée à 3354,57 € et 86,93 % sur la partie supérieure à ce plafond"
.I understand the first half: "up to 26.93% of the gross monthly remuneration, limited to €3354.57..." but what does the upper limit of "86.93%" refer to in this case?

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.

You could say "this upper limit" to make it absolutely clear.

: Yes a literal translation works. I suppose that makes reference superfluous

A literal translation works fine, in my opinion. 'to exceed' works better as a translation for 'dépasser'.

writeaway
: yes but part = deel but it's not the word used in English and Eurlex English has to be taken with a grain of salt because Commission English isn't always really English.
