Satisfies European turning up, in this respect (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esteem

'this respect' is the definition.
('esteem' can be a synonym of 'respect')

'satisfies european turning up' is the wordplay.
'satisfies' becomes 'meets' ('meet' can be a synonym of 'satisfy').
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'turning up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'meets'+'e'='meetse'
'meetse' backwards is 'ESTEEM'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for esteem that I've seen before include "Revere - prize" , "Set a high value on" , "Think highly of, have regard for" , "Hold in deference and respect" , "judge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
