Exposição de motivos


Explanation:
The answers your received to this moment are all accurate, but are not applicable to to the case.

Please consider "Exposição de motivos" as the most suitable expression, as that term is the most usual authors of all types of documents [whether of an official or administrative nature] adopt where they are willing to make explanations on the contents of such documents.
