French term

Instance de Pilotage

French to English Bus/Financial Retail
How would you translate this term? I have found it translated as "decision making body" or "management authority".

I have this concrete sentence:

Le plan de qualité: Ce terme désigne le document tel que mentionné dans la clause X et comprenant, entre autres, une description des Instance de pilotage et des processus.

Thanks,

Steering body Not necessarily a committee as here http://www.unece.org/environmental-policy/treaties/air-pollu...
AllegroTrans Nov 10, 2013:
You need to consider the meaning of "instance" nom féminin

(latin instantia, de instare, presser vivement)

Instance de pilotage vs. comité de pilotage My problem as well, is that in this text there is also a "comité de pilotage" which would be a steering committee.
