position of "has been noted"

[KLPNO]

Hello everyone,

Could you please tell me if both of the following sentences are correct?

1. The necessity of transition has been noted to a free-market economy.

2. The necessity of transition to a free-market economy has been noted.

Or such word order (as in the first sentence) is only possible if a sentence is long as in:

http://www.oadby-wigston.gov.uk/Home/Housing/Attachments/Housing Strategy - Part one.pdf

During the last 5 to 10 years, the concept has been developed of a Council’s strategic housing role.

You could perhaps say the necessity has been noted, but you need to keep the "to" part right next to "transition."

#1 is impossible.
#2 is fine.
#3 could be "The necessity has been noted for a need to transition to... (or something like that.)
