agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: I believe I prefer this suggestion. I can't reconcile "aan te bevelen" with "high priority". And I don't think they refer to something that needs attention before anything else.

agree  Suzan Hamer: Yes, place high on the agenda, or at the top of the list, would be a literal translation, but I believe the connotation here is "to give high priority to", and by extension, to emphasize or stress, in this case.
