0 someone who has been given a concession to sell or do something
1 a person or company who has a concession (= official permission from a government or a company to do business in a particular place):
It is stated that he was sent out as the agent of the concessionaires in order to protect and advance their interests, although at the same time in the service of the Republic.
Some say the territories ceded to the concessionaires are to be governed by them, policed by them, and that within the boundaries of these concessions the Americans are to have absolute control.
The concessionaire himself has admitted that had he foreseen to what proportions this monopoly would eventually grow he would not have had the audacity to apply for it.
These contracts designated an imaginary, legal fence around the market stalls owned by the concessionaire, which kept the competition a long coin's throw away.
This is nearly 6 times the annual profit earned by a concessionaire who abides by the 30-year concession contract.
Countries that wish to encourage concessionaires to comply with sustained-yield requirements must implement measures that counter the depletion-accelerating effects of area fees.
Although such a scheme may not induce rationalization of waste generation, collection costs are low and effective, and the concessionaire is encouraged to operate efficiently.
Using both theoretical and empirical models, we demonstrate that area fees can induce concessionaires to accelerate timber harvests and to harvest more selectively.
