nous tenons à souligner notre opinion

This use of 'note' seems at first sight to be slightly odd here, since presumably it can't mean 'constater'.

I have to assume that it means 'we wish to have it noted that..', which is slightly stronger than 'être d'avis' in FR, so I would suggest something like the above, or an improved version that might kindly be suggested by one of our FR native colleagues.

agree Simon Mac : I had the same reaction as you about the unusual use of 'note'; another slant I wondered about was whether it meant 'note' in the sense of 'record'

Thanks, yx! Yes, I feel it is sort of 'would like to place on record...'
