what is "it is noted that"?

[peteryoung]

It is noted, however, that, in the opinion of the French Government, the refugee problem can be solved only through a more equitable distribution of refugees


I've come across thousands of cases where a sentence starts with 'it is noted that'? What on earth does that mean? Would anybody please give a little information on that? Thanks a lot

It is noted means to recognize/acknowledge/observe the existence or presence of something.
