Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Ethics Committee speak
Italian term or phrase: VISTA La documentazione, trasmessa dallo sponsor, agli atti, sottoelencata;
I am doing a revision and the text reads
IL COMITATO ETICO
riunito il 8/06/2012 per esprimere il proprio parere motivato su quanto in oggetto, sotto la
Presidenza del Prof. XXX YYY - esperto farmacologo
(omissis)
VISTA
La documentazione, trasmessa dallo sponsor, ***agli atti***, sottoelencata;
Addendum al contratto, ecc
APPROVA
all’unanimità l’ Emendamento sostanziale n. 0000
relativo allo Studio Clinico XXXXXX, con la relativa documentazione allegata.


I understand all the words individually, but I don't agree with the translator on "agli atti".
Can you confirm that it means that the Ethics Committee has already filed the documentation submitted by the sponsor? Is there a vaguely elegant way of putting "La documentazione, trasmessa dallo sponsor, agli atti, sottoelencata" in English?

Many thanks

HAVING REGARD TO
Explanation:
This is the accepted translation for the term VISTA or VISTO in the EU technical and legislative documents I've been working on for several years now. I would say that 'pursuant' is not really applicable since an action is not being taken because of the following documents, rather a decision is being made in compliance with them. The point may be moot, but I thought it was worth noting.

to answer your question, Anthony, 'HAVING REGARD TO the documents sent by the sponsor for filing, as listed below:'
This is how I have rendered this very same sentence many times. You may find another 'more elegant' rendering. However, in these Drug Trial documents, elegance counts for very little. They need to be clear and concise. This is something only few Italians are capable of.

Pursuant to the following documentation submitted by the sponsor, which is on file


Explanation:
I wonder if the punctuation and word order are a bit odd - I would have thought "sottoelencata" should go after "documentazione". And if the documents aren't listed until much later, you could put "listed below" instead of "the following".
