I've just run into a collocation “décologie administrative”. The context: “La mission de contrôle (...) n’a pas respecté la décologie administrative”. I cannot really understand the meaning of this or identify what the author had in mind, taking into consideration that (s)he could make a mistake. My guess is that (s)he confused it with “déontologie”. Any idea?

It does look like the author made a mistake, décologie is a rare word (a recent coinage, I think, meaning [the study of] interior decoration). Can you give a little more context? With what you posted, déontologie was probably meant. –  Gilles May 13 '12 at 19:58
There is not really much context, except that it concerns "contrôle dans le site de mise en place des plantations". I've been thinking about this "decologie" a lot and now it seems to me that the only possibility is that the author must have confused it with "deontologie". Thank you. –  ghul May 14 '12 at 8:47
