Traduction de «translation of passage innocent » (Français → Anglais) :

– Whilst we agree with those parts of the proposal that provide for the equal treatment of Parliament with the Council with regard to access to meetings and to information; for regular dialogue between the President of the Commission and the President of the Parliament; cooperation on citizens’ initiatives; impact assessments on legislation; and the use of ‘soft law’ (rather than punitive law?); we disagree with: a reaffirmation and strengthening of compulsory time limits for the implementation of directives; and the use of congratulatory language about the European Union and its officers.

The cold-hearted killing of well over 5,000 people by a small number of well-educated and intensely motivated young men who used their training and skills to transform civilian airplanes full of innocent and horrified passengers into guided missiles striking at the heart of America was a particularly gruesome fusion of cruelty and technology.

Innocent civilians, women and men, and particularly children have been maimed and killed as a result of a weapon that was in place long after the war ended.

Some legislation has been passed by the United States congress which makes certain assertions, which are no more than assertions: first, that American vessels have the right of innocent passage through the inside passage of Canada; second, that Canada violated international law by imposing transit licence fees in 1994; and third, that Canada should compensate the United States, in essence reimburse the transit licence fees applied in 1994.

We are saying that these are our waters, 100 per cent of Canadian law applies to these waters and they do not have the right of innocent passage or transit passage.
