Translation of "Ich habe ihr anliegen" in English

The matter was put before Parliament's Bureau, as you requested in your letter.

I have taken good note of your request.

I have noted your very important point, Mr Balfe.

Please repeat. I did not understand your selection.

There is no proposal along those lines on the agenda at the moment and this week we do not have a topical and urgent debate either; but I take note of what you said and we will see what we can do.

So far nothing has come of this, since the initiativ« which was supposed to have meant something to th« European man in the street has got bogged down ir the national bureaucracies as a result of quibbling or the questions of whether the cover should be made o paper, cotton or linen or how many pages the document should have and how many languages should be used.

Colleagues, I think you have made your point.

I hope that we have come to the right conclusion as to what they need, and we have made constructive efforts to ensure that they too, in the event of a calamity, can expect a minimum standard of safety.

I shall concentrate chiefly on five main points which, in my view, are both of vital importance and very closely interrelated.
