Selected
all contract prices to drop together and in proportion / proportionately
As so often between FR > EN, I feel that it would be better to change the noun-based expression in FR into a verb-based one in EN — with the slight re-working of the sentence that would entail.

simultaneous fall of all contract prices in equal measure
I think it works better if we reword the sentence to put "dans les mêmes proportions" at the end.
Note from asker:
| "requires a fall"? requires a drop, no? or maybe "decrease"? |
