as we request

This phrase is correct and is commonly used in English when referring to a current or ongoing request.

This phrase is used to indicate a request that is currently being made or is ongoing. It implies that the request is still valid and relevant.

Examples:

  • As we request, please send us the updated report by the end of the day.
  • We will proceed as we request in the meeting tomorrow.
  • If the accounts were amended, as we request in paragraph 8, to include the sums the Commission hopes to recover, then three things would happen.

  • As such, we request immediate dismissal of this case.
  • However, the problem of co-financing in the Member States was doubtless partly responsible for this, as when we request co-financing the Member States are often obliged to incur additional debts.
  • Any initiative seeking to halt negotiations with Turkey is likely to suffer the same fate, insofar as we can request the Commission to act but cannot request it to stop acting.
  • Why don't you send a letter to us... and we will be happy to, as I say, take it under advisement... just as we do all requests to see the chairman.
  • Madam President, before I speak on this subject, as we have received various requests for referral, I should like to know how the Commission would react if the report were in fact to be referred back to committee.
  • l wish we had as many requests for seats in the chapel.
  • We give so much money to the countries which border on the Mediterranean through programmes such as MEDA: we should request that they set up waste collection systems in their ports as well!
  • Why don't you send a letter to us... and we will be happy to, as I say, take it under advisement... just as we do all requests to see the chairman.
  • Judge, we request limiting instructions.
  • We request r.O.R., your honor.
  • We request she be released upon her own recognizance.
  • We request an audience with your leaders.
  • Then we request a ship be dispatched to ascertain the fate of the One.
  • We request a recess, Your Honor.
  • We request the right to make use of that information.

as we requested

This phrase is correct and is commonly used in English when referring to a past request that has already been made.

This phrase is used to indicate a request that was made in the past. It implies that the request has already been communicated and is no longer ongoing.

  • You have integrated the concept of sustainability throughout, as we have always requested.
  • I would like to thank the Commission for its decisive actions in this area, especially now that it has enabled the European Foundation for Vocational Training to get involved in the Mediterranean countries, as we had requested.
