Comment: "Thank you Tina, I suspected as much (that it couldn't be broken down into component parts), which is why I posted the phrase rather than the individual terms, which would only have confused anybody answering. I have dictionaries that give me individual terms, writeaway, but the solutions they offered clearly did not cover this eventuality. "

Dutch term (edited):
naar aanleiding van...
following...
'Naar aanleiding van' can often be accurately translated as 'following', e.g. 'following the inquiry at the hearing, ...'. The phrase 'naar aanleiding van' sometimes has a strong causal component, sometimes more of a chronological component, sometimes a bit of both. Here it seems largely chronological, hence 'following' (which often also has a slight causal sense).
