But as I say, the matter appears to be worth investigating.

In the latter case, no information or matter 'appears out of thin air'.

The matter of the death penalty appears to be central to the current negotiations.

But now the matter appeared to me in a slightly different light.

Thus the matter did not appear to be of major importance.

For heart surgery, what matters appears to be the surgeon's experience, not the number of such patients at the hospital.

The Commission has already given a statement at a point when the matter did not appear to be so serious.

This matter too would now appear, however, to have been dealt with.

That is why I raised this question, as the matter has not appeared on the agenda.

However, the matter does not yet appear to be completely resolved.
