Russian term or phrase: заявить
Представитель германского МИД Мартин Шефер заявил: «Немецкие дипломаты знают, что за их деятельностью могут наблюдать иностранные спецслужбы, и принимают соответствующие меры предосторожности, однако никто в МИД не мог ожидать шпионажа со стороны БНД». Ну заявил и заявил. А что дальше?

"But it continues to be reported." ????? Не понимаю что автор хочет сказать.
