French term

pour accompagner les mécanismes de compensation

French to English Law/Patents Environment & Ecology Official report detailing oil exploration project
This comes from a contractual report for an oil exploration project. In this section, various roles and responsibilities are to be assigned to different parties. For example, the oil drilling company shall be responsible for overall environmental and social management; its subcontractors (builders, seismic companies) will be responsible for seeing that the terms of the environmental management plan are adhered to etc.

Next, the administrative roles will be assigned to an environmental agency which will conduct site inspections and audits and the local area administration ("administration locale") will be there "pour accompagner les mécanismes de compensation".

Does anyone know what this might mean? So far, I am thinking either that the local administration is included in the process to advise on the subject of financial compensation... or that this administration is included in order to provide a fair and balanced (ie. less biased) view/assessment of the potential oil exploration project.

@James I think you are on the right track. The local administration is there to help run compensation schemes or at least to make sure they are respected.
James Perry (asker) Feb 13, 2014:
This is a similar type of context: any idea what is meant by these "mécanismes de compensation"?

agree Philippe Etienne : Right. I will hide my reply, I thought carbon when I read compensation and environment, but it may be more complicated than that

may be financial,

but also technical. For example, if the company cuts down X trees, they may be required to plant the same number elsewhere, and the administration will tell them where, what species, when...
Note from asker:
I like your idea. I think it could mean both financial and technical since the specifics are not stated. I would, therefore, favour the following: "To assist in matters of compensation"... Thank you for your help!

agree Parrot : Also to be considered: particle emission, shoring work, landfill or even expropriation...
