Review concerning animal on European ship (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reassess

'review' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'animal on european ship' is the wordplay.
'animal' becomes 'rasse' (I've seen this before**).
'on' indicates putting letters inside (as in clothing \'on\' a person).
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'ship' becomes 'ss'.
'rasse' going around 'e' is 'reasse'.
'reasse'+'ss'='REASSESS'

'concerning' is the link.

(Other definitions for reassess that I've seen before include "Make another appraisal" , "Appraise again" , "Examine again" , "Make a further judgement" , "size up again" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
