English translation:He reiterates that
Explanation:
It means to state again, i.e. the statement has been made before, or should be already known to those involved, but he is just saying it again to ensure that it is not forgotten or overlooked.

You can\'t use \"remind\" because you need an object - you have to remind \'someone\' and we don\'t know who that \'someone\' is.

disagree  writeaway: you can't use the present tense in what are clearly minutes of some meeting./site was inaccessible

  -> True, but I leave the Asker to deal with the issue of tenses, the main point is the meaning of "rappeler" here, I feel.
agree  Tony M: As long as this IS indeed referring to a person -- but I'd like to be surer of that...?

  -> Also true, it could be a description of a document, not reporting what a person said. It's also possible that the present continuous would be a better tense to use - it depends.
