agree  Clair Pickworth: yes I usuallly stick to the terms on Euronext's own website

agree  Sylvia Smith: if that is what is on their own site (although I also would prefer "segment")!
3 hrs
  -> yes - I guess that's how some terms are first coined - by a bad translation! But best to stick to their terminology...

disagree  rkillings: Marché Libre is the *name* of the segment; leave it in French, along with Premier Marché and Second Marché. Explain if necessary, but do not translate.
