/Swiss Inter-Cantonal / Scheme Supervisory Committee
The example sentence suggests it's a compulsory opt-in or 'press-ganging' scheme or arrangement,
BTW, in insolvency, it's called a 'Commitee of Inspection'' rather than a 'Body of Creditors'.
Le concordat s'applique aussi aux entreprises dont le siège est ètabli dans un canton non concordataire > non-scheme > ou à l'étranger.

Thanks Conor for ratifying > my Essex ex-audio-typists' usual typo: gratifying > the Inter-Cantonal idea.

: Except I don't see where you get "scheme" from, and I think you should leave it out.

from concordat in an insolvency scheme of arrangement. 'When in doubt, leave out', but it is not I who is in doubt.

Daryo
: yes, but Swiss Inter-Cantonal "Agreement" or "Convention" would be closer to what this special kind of "concordat" is in its essence.

concordat in insolvency is a creditors' scheme, scheme perhaps quirky but working well as a qualifier for concordataire.

SafeTex
: This is overtranslation. There is nothing to support "scheme" nor "supervisory" and why abandon "commission"? Just looking at the reference, it is clearly more than supervisory. It's regulatory too for instance.

Thanks, Safetex I've incorporated your regulatory idea, besides which a concordat in FRE + concordato in SPA bankruptcy is a scheme of arrangement, as I had been weaned on in Chancery. Committee is also within acceptable non-EU parameters.

What is "typical" is that the Swiss variant of French can often be baffling / puzzling / extremely misleading.
As a matter of fact, just next door, there is in France another type of "concordat" - a "proper" concordat between the Vatican and secular authorities, giving the Church the right to poke its nose in school education, famous French "laïcité" notwithstanding. More:
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concordat_en_Alsace-Moselle
"En droit suisse, un concordat intercantonal, aussi appelé convention intercantonale ou accord intercantonal, est un accord conclu entre plusieurs cantons pour légiférer sur un plan régional dans un domaine donné.
L'existence des concordats intercantonaux est prévue dans ***l'article 48 de la Constitution suisse***1 qui dispose que ceux-ci doivent respecter les lois fédérales et les droits des autres cantons, et que leur existence doit être connue de la Confédération."
Swiss Constitution, see Article 48 in EN and FR and compare:
EN: https://fedlex.data.admin.ch/filestore/fedlex.data.admin.ch/...
FR : https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/cc/1999/404/fr
So, the answer would be INTERCANTONAL AGREEMENT COMMITTEE, no need to say Swiss, there's only one sort of them!
This answer is quite close to Adrian MM's, so I wouldn't feel comfortable posting it, despite the extra research and references.

But then what about "concordataire" as in "canton concordataire", etc.?
