EU Proposes Restrictions on Liquids Aboard Aircraft
欧盟提议对携带液体登机设限
The European Union has proposed new restrictions on liquids that can be carried onto airline flights originating in member nations.
EU Transport Commissioner Jacques Barrot said the rules announced today (Wednesday) would allow passengers to bring on planes a limited amount of shampoo, perfume and other liquids. He said a decision on the precise amount of liquids would be based on calculations by experts on how much would be required for a deadly mixture of explosives.
Barrot said the new measures will be finalized by EU member states in the next few weeks.
The restrictions are a response to last month's announcement in Britain that it had foiled a plot to blow up U.S.-bound jets using liquid explosives smuggled onboard aircraft.
欧洲联盟就从该成员国起飞的航班上能够携带什么液体提出了新的限制。
欧盟交通专员巴罗特说， 今天(星期三) 宣布的条例将允许旅客携带有限的洗发水、香水和其它液体。他说， 对液体的具体数量的限制取决于专家认为多少液体足以用来制造致命的炸药。
巴罗特说，欧盟成员国将在今后几个星期最后确定新措施的内容。
