Translation of "matériaux transportés par l'eau courante " (French → English) :

Article 244 Means of transport, equipment, packaging materials, transport water and feed and fodder and delegated and implementing acts

It is no longer a common means of everyday transportation of goods and people, as it may have been in 1882, when the act was created.

Permanent alterations of the hydrographical conditions by human activities may consist for instance of changes in the tidal regime, sediment and freshwater transport, current or wave action, leading to modifications of the physical and chemicals characteristics set out in Table 1 of Annex III to Directive 2008/56/EC.

Under the 7th Framework Programme it is estimated that up to 30% of the €32 billion budget will address environmental technologies. This includes: hydrogen and fuel cells, clean production processes, alternative energy sources, CO2 sequestration, bio-fuels and bio-refineries, energy efficiency, information technologies for sustainable growth, clean and efficient transport, water technologies, soil and waste management, and environmentally friendly materials.

47. Notes that, despite dramatic growth, India's infrastructure still displays, in parts, the characteristics of a developing nation, with poor transport networks and regular power outages; notes that the 2010 Commonwealth Games provide an opportunity for European companies to compete for key infrastructure projects; calls on India and the EU to explore trade-related infrastructure development, through public-private partnership ...[+++]investment, ensuring transparency, a credible regulatory environment and a level playing field between private investors and the government; accordingly calls for the use of loans from the EIB, whose mandate – in the case of Asia and Latin America – is centred on productive investment; calls on India and the EU to focus this investment in rural areas, providing better water supply and sanitation, improving transport networks, particularly all weather roads, and improving the quality of grid power output;
