searching through Cornu it seems that the clôture is a process whereby the investigating judge goes before the court to say that he has enough evidence for the trial to go ahead; as I understand it it doesn't involve any other parties (which could be significant when dealing with loose approximations between our legal systems)

committal for trial
According to Bridge (Council of Europe Legal Dictionary) an "ordonnance de clôture" is "an order by which an investigating judge closes an investigation (i.e. discharge or committal for trial)". Obviously we don't have the investigative stage in common-law jurisdictions so there isn't a direct equivalent, but "commital for trial" might work given that it is proceeding to trial.
